Barrel Throw is bugged. 16M HM is what.. 37k+ isntant and the fire aoe does -0- damage, yes, that is a zero. I stood in fire on purpose and no damage taken. Not to mention the idiotic "pick up a barrel hurr durr I can't use any skills and have to right click on my buffs to cancel it, oh I just cancelled 2 buffs I actually want" mechanic.. funny in theory, but not in practice. Thanks

You can be yanked and pushed, so be careful. I've scored so many goals with Seek Cover it's almost disgusting, running through 4-5 defenders trying to root you is hilarious :3

Just played a handful of games, mostly MM spec. Dealing all white damage has it's advantages against those pesky sins, I don't care about their shroud, it does almost nothing against MM. Deflection is a pain if I don't have Target Acquired ready. My usual strategy against sins is to pray my Entrench is ready, even popping it if my stealth 6th sense tingles. Covered Escape is only used to avoid damage, as they are impossible to kite anyways, well almost everyone except Marauders are impossible to kite for any reasonable time.. so, I use Evasion ASAP, Target Acquired - Shield Probe and Ballistic Shield after Evasion is gone. Edit: Diversion on myself is always good. Then just fire everything I got while refreshing dampeners and try to roll off some damage. Good ones are very tough and usually run away when they see I just blew my load and then come back to finish the job hehe Evasion is really good in cover, I wear the old pvp set bonus so I have 4 seconds of Evasion Not met a single Concealment yet (that I can remember).. weird. I tried Engineer yesterday, liked it, though it feels so much slower than MM I like the elemental damage it does, especially against the tankier classes. It's just different I guess, but I definitely see potential as I topped the charts with almost 1M damage in normal huttball, a solid lead over the 2nd highest. So it has the damage, gonna play around with it more. Virulence.. meh, not tried it but there are so many with Purge now which resets the build up. Dots seem weaker too, maybe try it later.

I fully expected new players to ignore/be oblivious to cover (benefits) in 3.0 when they changed most of our skills to not require cover. What BW _should_ do; automatically enter cover when using channel/charged skills.

Thanks for the quick reply Lag.. destroyer of heroes.. and keyboards

Thanks for the guide! While watching the video you delay Ambush and even PB a GCD or two. I've always worked my rotation around PB and SV. I guess my question is if you've tried to keep PB and Ambush "tighter"? You're clipping CD, from reading your guide this is strictly for energy management? Seems my ship dummy is bugged (respawning every 10 sec), so asking instead of working with that endless frustration Also, I don't see the 5% ranged dmg debuff on the dummy in the video, noticed that as well on my ship when using the 1m HP and armor debuff.

OK Bioware.. you're killing 16m raiding. There is no point running 16m for loot.. only achievements. Loot tables seems switched with 8m.. Get your act together and fix it.

Only Ultimate comms matter.

Noticed this issue with extreme lag on Rishi/Yavin. Also it does not proc if the last shot kills the mob.. grrr

They DID mess it up. At worst the patch notes were badly worded, at best it is a bug/oversight and not intended. Crossing fingers it's a bug.. Quote from patch notes: Accuracy Rating grants more Accuracy per point. Currently it grants less per point, my sniper receives about 0.4% less accuracy with same rating as pre 3.0 at level 60.

Turn volume down and use Treek in heal mode, she's awesome. Never found much use for her in tank mode, it's better to have her just heal you.

Nope.

Neither, go for 2-set Enforcer + 2-set Field Medic for 1 second longer evasion and stronger shield probe. Though, the +5m range on Field Tech/Pro is sometimes funny. You want a Power heavy build with 2-3 Accuracy mods, since Surge is pointless after you hit 74ish % anyways. A couple crit mods doesn't hurt either. Most will tell you to go full POWER, but isn't really noticeably better than a few crit mods.

This might be a good solution

Personally I'd go for full PvP as healer. Tech/Force Power is bolstered to full, so it doesn't hurt healing power (much). But, like L-randle says, certain PvE items are better than Obroan, but it's really in the less than 0,5% difference.
