The downside to this would be that you wouldn't get the set bonus because you would be missing the armorings. So, if you were going for the 4 piece bonus, you could put a doubled up piece in for your 5th slot and still get the bonus.

Thanks for the response to crit on the 23/1/17 build. What about the 0/13/28? Is it the same 25% unbuffed?

I'll believe it when I see it!

I disagree. It's vanguard vs scoundrel. Why would you take away a staple of the scoundrel class? That's like saying the VG can't use any of his cells because the scoundrel doesn't have them. Plus, the VG has stealth scan.

The butthurt is strong in this one. @Wohast Get on PTR this week, I need to test some new specs since old faithful isn't cutting it anymore.

This is rich. While I bow to your lvl 43 assassin wisdom, let me poke some holes in your description of how this class works from a full WH geared shadow. First, the 4k hit on shock. This is certainly possible, but certain conditions must be met. For one, you would need to be a different spec than the one you are referring to, have BM/WH gear, and have a critical hit. You make it seem like we do this every time we cast the spell. Second, the 2k x 4 tick lightening. Again, possible in 1.2 with DPS BM/WH gear (which you don't have considering you are 43 and gearing for shield/absorb (*gross*)). However, in 1.3 you will no longer be able to use relics/adrenals to pad this. In 1.2 my highest tick was 2.6k x 4. On the PTS, my max is 1.6k. As for the heal, 1600 hp on a WH geared shadow with an endurance stim. I'll give you that if the shadow gets every tick off. We get that and about 200hp every 4.5 seconds from combat tech. Woohoo... Third, the 20k hp. I'd love to see a screenshot of you running around with 20k hp at lvl 43, and would be pleasantly disproved if you could provide one. As a full WH shadow, I have 20517 hp IF I use an endurance stim. Without it, I have ~19100. Lastly and MOST important, doing this is every 12 seconds. If you have some magical ability that keeps your recklessness (+60% crit for 3 force attacks) from having the 1 min CD, please share it with me. While your at it, tell me how you do all of this without ever needing to regen force. I guess what I am really asking is for you to stop blowing smoke.

Yeah, I kinda hope we are destination so I don't have to mess with anything. I respecced to infil/blance. We'll have to redo our duels (where's that vid btw?!?!).

Get a group of pubs together on vent and become a premade?

What kind of Crit% are you looking for in the 23/1/17 build? I've been trying to maintain 26% (fully buffed with FP, etc gives 100% crit during burst) and putting the rest into power.

Hahaha, I knew my day of reckoning would come. I wasn't upset about that as much as I was the biochem nerfs.

Clap clap!

So as biochem, can I RE the PvP implants and get the schem to crit craft it for the augment?

I am trying to figure out what the maximum amount of augment slots one would have if they are using all PvP gear. As I understand it, you have a slot for your gloves, boots, chest, legs, helm, weapon. Giving you a total of 6 augment slots. Is it possible to get augment slots anywhere else? For example, as a biochem, can I craft the pvp implants somehow (RE?) and get an augment slot through crit crafting? Or are there augment slots in bracers, belt, etc?

I am trying to figure out how the orange PvP gear works. I see the orange moddable items that can be bought from the PvP vendor but they don't have any set bonuses. If I want to have a crafter crit craft me some of the WH armor, and I put my WH armoring/mod/enh in it, will that piece have a set bonus on it? Or, am I just going to be trying to crit craft the items that don't have set bonuses associated with them?

BAHAHAHA 77925 WZ commendations to get full WH, assuming you are already full BM. This is some *********** innovating PvP, BW!
