Can't really say for guardian but for your shadow in pve you should be at 110% accuracy(slightly higher than that is fine like 110.2%) and you can lose quite a bit of that crit and put it into alacrity. Around 3200 crit is what you want. For pvp 105% accuracy is fine, really don't need more.

You should use both honestly. Blade of the elements on opener then switch to awakened flame after your first cloak.

Versatile Hilt/Armoring, Lethal Mods, and Adept, Quick Savant and Initiative enhancements to get your stats where they need to be. I do not however know the exact bis 306 ones are or the amount of each augment (crit, alacrity, and accuracy) to use. Should also be using crit crystals and accuracy/crit stim

I'm sure they'll tone sins down for the launch of 6.0, and I never actually personally tested it myself as I'm just coming back to the game after a few months off but there is this^

Is this imp or pubside? I have toons that can do both but I'd personally prefer impside as a main.

For me it all depends on your team. I don't hate odessen. I've had some pretty good matches on there. it's just you have to play objectives. if you don't, you lose. simple as that

More than likely, if they do anything about assassin/shadow dps for 6.0, they'll overbuff it then overnerf it like they normally do.

I can understand infiltration needed to be toned down a bit but not as much as they did. In the most practical sense, the only really raid utility infiltration brings is it's burst dps. In most cases that I've been in, you're not going to stealth rez someone in the middle of a MM or even VM pull, so don't call stealth rez a raid utility. You also shouldn't call infiltration's mobility a viable utility. Yes it does make a difference with being able to have more dps uptime on the boss, but it doesn't make a huge difference as some may think. And then now with the change to one of our utilities/abilities, effectively reducing our DR, is just absurd. Yes serenity needs love in the DR department. But infiltration shouldn't have to suffer for it. I love my shadow, and I'll continue to play my shadow till the game shuts down, but it just makes no sense that they finally had infiltration in a fairly good place, and then nerfed it to be less than desirable in raids again. Seriously, other than infiltration's burst and it's(current, not future)DR, what does the spec bring to the table for progression raiding?

Okay, I might be interested then. I have several republic toons I'm leveling right now, so I'll be on sometime this weekend.

Do you accept regular recruiting as well or are you just looking for a rdps for progression right now? I have nim experience but just started playing pub side, so my toons are relatively low in level.

For me personally, I always pictured my force user toons, (consular, knight, and inquisitor) as being really young, my inquisitor being the youngest at 16 when she was brought to korriban, then my female consular and female knight being 17 when they arrive on tython. My warrior I picture being 19.

I could been wrong here, I haven't done any pvp since 5.0 dropped(been away for a while) but I believe all 3 specs are plenty viable for unranked. Idk what is best and by how much though because I simply took an extended break from the game.

You're complaining that they made a stance a passive ability? You're complaining that they removed shock and lightning from hatred even though you shouldn't have even been using either in hatred? And they removed phase walk and blackout, they didn't touch shroud. Overall, I don't like that they removed phase walk, but quite a few of the changes I'm ok with. Especially when you consider that right now, deception and infiltration are the highest parsing specs in the game, followed by IO and virulence. Edit: And we didn't quite lose shock and force lightning since tank assassins keep both abilities.

Mercs are over performing but we all know when BW nerfs them, they will over-nerf them so let them have their 5.0 moment of glory.

Because of infiltration's new ability, there won't be a new guide yet, plus no one is going to have a full set of BiS Tier 1 gear yet. Probably in early January there should be updated guides.
