Amen...... Its pathetic how far off BW has ran with the SW license.

Haven't been on my assassin in a long time, I think the last time i PVP'd on him there was still Champion armor.... What spec would yall suggest for playing in Recruit Mk 2 gear?

The Imperial Order You probably haven't heard our name before, partly being that we were from the Krayt Dragon server...so we are going to tell you a little about us, so that you can fill out an application telling us a little about you... TIO - Who we are: We are the reformation of a guild that was once quite solid, after we began trimming waste, we had a solid group of players who knew what they were doing and produced results. We were one of the first guilds on our server pushing Hardmode content, and had players filling slots in the top guilds of our server who pushed Nightmare. Sadly with the declining populations and fail content, many members left SWTOR for other things. After the server merges, there were only a few of us left on SWTOR. Today, we are a small group of friends who are discontent with the status of The Shadowlands in terms of its raiding offerings. While there is no shortage of guilds on our server, there is an extreme shortage of raid slots in guilds that are ORGANIZED, have players who THINK and can ACT on strategies or directions. In fact, quite frankly, half the people we have encountered in this game these days DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT THEIR OWN CHARACTERS..... TIO - What we want: -A small, organized team of talented players, people who take raiding seriously, know their classes, put THEIR OWN TIME into learning fights (If you need a fight hand fed to you like a child in a booster seat, we don't want you, simple), -We want players who have that natural ability to push themselves and those around them to do better. -If you don't know something about your class or rotation, either improve, or be man enough to take helpful criticism ......AND THEN ACT ON IT..... -SKILL, we can't say this enough, I would rather lead 7 people in Columi gear into TFB HM than 7 people in full Dreadguard who don't know *** they are doing, don't listen, can't follow strats, are too ashamed to admit when they **** something up.....etc etc etc......... TIO - What We Are Doing: We are looking to get a solid 8man team established, that's it. If we do recruit beyond that team, it will be at a much later date, OR it will be for people who just want a guild to play with their friends, at this time we are only fielding ONE progression core group. We will be raiding 3 days a week, Monday / Wed/ and Thurs 630pm-830pmEST for cleanup. One of these days will be a mat farm/alt run - one of these days will be progression - and one of these days will be cleanup or other guild activity. The ONLY save that the guild will require you to hold is whatever our designated current progression is, which will be determined once the full 8-Man group is assembled and gear and talent has been determined. Sounds like a lot of information I know, but its there for a reason, we want people who want a lot of information, who want to know what is expected of them and want to meet and exceed that. So if this adventure sounds like YOUR cup of jawa juice......head to the application section now!

OMG?!?!? I can grapple bosses?!?!?!? THATS AWESOME ........I had no idea!!!!!! That makes so much sense now on why I was not able to put out any DPS during the start / mechanic transitions / etc of boss fights while others are able to immediately start doing dps.................man I am so dumb....... (/sarcasm off) READ the thread brosef, I specifically listed PVE issues on why Powertechs needs Jet Charge or a similar gap closer now that we have no major dps contribution or rotation ability to use while closing distances on targets or being forced to break off during mechanics......

Yeah no problem, I wont..........just like the other hundreds of thousands who dumped this game winning response toolbag

Dont suppose Suryi has done any new parsing for AP post 1.4 yet!?!?

With the lovely Nerfs you have given to the Powertech's DPS specs we are now a fully melee effective class.... The problem is, we are also now left with ZERO "Close The Gap" Warriors: Marauders and Jugs both have Force Charge Assassins: Force Speed I've never played a melee Operative nor do I know anyone who does, so I cannot comment on their ability. And while we have rapid shots, I'm sorry that is no excuse to say "There, that's your closer" Solution???? Make Jet Charge a non talent specific ability.... OR Swap Grapple with Jet Charge (While being able to grapple some mobs in certain fights IE the Bomber in Kephess was a nice side ability when the tanks were being slow, I would GLADLY trade that for the ability to quickly and EFFECTIVELY get into the fight) ONE OF THESE CHANGES NEEDS TO BE HOTFIXED IN NOW DEVS..........It is hard enough for me to justify playing this game anymore, stop making it harder with every update -_-

+1 for this video of awesomeness!

I see this same mentality and ego posting in the Assassin forums about Deception not being gimped....... Everyone says "i can pull 1.5-1.7k DPS easy and im only in rak/bh" etc..... Please post a parse of a boss fight where you are pulling this. Anyone can spam a rotation over and over on a training dummy, infact I did one on my sniper the other night at 1.3k while eating some lunch and single handing it..... Stop bragging blindly into the wind.........post a TORparse of a boss fight with those kind of numbers or stop putting false information into the forums for Bioware to read and go "HAH! See, they can do it! Everyone else needs to L2P!"

While we are dreaming of things from Bioware.........can we get an <30% Execute ability also? That'd be cool...just sayin.

Great thread Suryi..... I decided to make my PT my main for raiding after reading one of your posts in the BH forums a couple weeks back. Not at 100% like I should be with this guy yet , but 1500dps is a good start without being a marauder. Hopefully I can get my damn GCD lag kinks out and refine the way i do the priorities.

Thanks for the descriptive advice......care to elaborate beyond that?

So my latest parse on the target dummy was OK..........I am not in full campaign yet and still working on my 100% min/max My parse http://www.torparse.com/a/10151 Came out with about 1500 average DPS, which is OK I guess......But I feel like I should be hitting a little harder..... I'm trying to get a little more out of my Pyro because the Mercs in my guild are doing about 100k more dmg than me per fight. I thought about trying out Advanced Prototype but so far from what I've read, Pyro is better for PVE (Go figure) So should I take Thermal Detonator? If so, how do you work it into the priority?

LOL that EA in a Nutshell is SO true.........

Yeah, everytime I buy something with an EA label on it......I feel like this is me....... weird though, I thought EA's old saying was "If its an MMO, lets beat it death, **** it, cut it into little pieces, and then throw it in a dumpster in china town"
