  1. I agree about Nadia, but people are seriously underestimating Holiday and also misunderstanding her relationship with Tharan. She's in charge of that show, folks, and keeps him on a tight leash. He's all talk and no hat. If you actually try to romance Tharan, it goes nowhere -- Holiday shuts him down. She would do so with any of his other pathetic attempts, no doubt. He's actually rather stuck and I almost feel sorry for the guy.
  2. I like power/willpower and then surge, myself. Don't see much reason to stack either crit or alacrity, but if I have to choose, I'll take crit over alacrity, up to about 35-40% paper doll value.
  3. Yeah, WoW aoe tanking has ruined a lot of players. That kind of ez mode no CC tanking doesn't fly here. (Didn't use to fly in Wow, either. At least through TBC you had to CC mobs in 5 mans. Wrath changed that up and went with the present brainless aoe tanking.)
  4. I leveled to 50 no problem and cast tumult maybe a half dozen times during the process. It's just not that useful for sages. Not wanting to be in melee range -- and stealing aggro from your companion, particularly if that companion is Nadia and has sketchy aggro to being with -- is a perfectly good reason.
  5. Power. It's not hard to get crits, particularly with cooldowns and conveyance + healing trance. You really don't need much more than a nominal 25-30% crit. In practice, I'd guess this translates into something like 50% crits. Won't know for sure before parses are out, but crits aren't rare. A more interesting question: what about surge? Nobody ever talks about this, but given the ease of crits, I think surge may be worth picking up some. When I was leveling I had enough surge for 75% crits, and this really helped a lot. You don't need to stack a huge amount of surge to reach these numbers, either.
  6. TK is more like a mage. Sages don't resemble shaman in the least. No totems, for starters. The class can be best understood as a sort of mix of mage/lock/priest. It's a one stop clothie shop.
  7. Tharan is mighty useful on some boss fights, though, even as a sage. Not so much for the healing, but the interrupts. And hey, so far as the holo pervert stuff goes, he's actually kind of stuck with Holiday. She's very possessive. Dumping her could be dangerous for his health.
  8. Yeah, this didn't work for me. He became untargettable when he tried to pursue me around the corner. I finally just stood in the back center of the room and tanked his damage, with interrupts on some casts and one always saved for the cave in; and I used Tharan, too, who is good on this fight.
  9. Latency on this fight is a problem, and it will also bug out in certain spots and prevent you from targetting him. (The corner near the cave entrance is bad, if you try to do LOS tricks there, weird things happen.) Took me four tries, but I got it. I finally found a good spot where I could turret. Back center of the room. Used Tharan for interrupts and heals. This is one of the few fights where he really comes in handy. Did this as hybrid seer/TK spec.
  10. He's all talk and no hat so far as womanizing goes. Holiday has him on a tight leash.
  11. What is a "toolbox" healer? That's an MMO phrase I never heard before.
  12. DPS is a dime a dozen; if you want groups fast and easy, heal it up. Later on, once you score the gear and feel more comfortable with your damage output, then switch over -- gear requirements are mostly the same, so it's not like you need to farm two sets.
  13. If you want to cast, go sage. If you want a mix of melee and casting go shadow. If you are a light saber junkie, reroll knight.
  14. Nadia needs to toughen up a bit, yeah. She's a bit clingy and desperate. Her hero worship of my toon is embarrassing. After a while with her I start to appreciate Theran's cool cynicism, or even Qyzan's obsession with point scoring. OTOH, I do appreciate her voice acting on pulls when she declares that nobody messes with her friends.
  15. Sages are putting up good numbers in operations.
