Oh the days of star wars galaxies NGE when i if i wanted to i could equip a melee weapon on my officer beast master and spam buffs as fast as the CD's would let me, which was really fast, and just gut people while my pet reduced them to nothing but a feeble wet noodle.

I'll buy you "The Bro" for your new ladies there bro.

I found a 320 double-saber that doesn't look too bad, but it's a green, and it's "okay" looking. The hilt at least matches my motif and my preferred crystal color AND it rests on my hip. So there's that right?

Were you on story mode? I face tanked him with my silly little infil shadow on story mode. Maybe i got lucky?

Yeah, it's like why not just come out with it. "Hey i got secret apprentices....." "oh you do too?" Lmao why get butthurt about it if i'm a Sith? I would say "but we have minions now"

Yeah, i would have liked a romance arc with her as on option as well. She for real gave me a "cougar vibe". I know, pixels. Sue me.

sounds like a bottleneck, then again you use comcast. Since you report that you have 20ms ping to server the chances of your being throttled by them are nil. The other option is are you running many other things in the background that are using the connection. Is your cell phone on your wifi, are you streaming movies from netflix and amazon while you play on a 2nd or 3rd monitor, are you running processor heavy programs in windowed mode while you play, is there a thief bogarting your wifi, Is your GPU overclocked, there are MANY things you could be suffering from these are a just a few of the EASY things to try to trouble-shoot. Generally no matter how over-powered your pc is this game is NOTORIOUS for not being SUPER SMOOTH for 99.9% of the people who play the game. I'm super jealous of some of the guys i watch who are running FULL everything in WZ's with Zero zilch nada performance loss.

I use mine, but my faith that other people use their aggro dumps is very low. There is NO REASON any smuggler should NOT use their aggro dump anyway, it's classic. Aside from that aggro dumps are not on the GCD so you should use them on CD anyway. I totally agree with you that DPS should use their aggro dump 4-5 sec into the INITIAL pull, and adding to that every time the aggro dump comes off CD at least 2 or 3 times. After that it shouldn't be a necessity to aggrodrop anymore. On a side note: Guardian/Juggernaut tanks need to remember the "guardian leap / intercede " ability ALSO reduces threat on the player you guardian leap/intercede to. I'll guard ONE dps, usually a ranged, and if my other dps is melee i will just guardian leap on him if he pulls threat on a boss. Also: Remember that in ops, you guardian/jug dps should start guardian leaping on random ranged dps. This does a few things: Drops THEIR threat by a moderate ammount, puts you at range from the boss WHICH allows you to saber throw and jump, free rage/focus and it looks really cool to see leapers slingshot around. Don't start on "but we needz the deepz and i cantz deepz whenz i'mz flyingz throoz tha airz"

I have 2 tanks, 3 heals, 7 dps. Que times lately have been fastest when queing as healer and dps on my SAGE and SORC. Best (lowest duration of wait time) times i have encountered for having faster ques by ROLE. morning: Tank, heals afternoon: Tank, DPS Evening: Tank, heals, as it seems lots of healers are on in the afternoon trying to get weekly's done before ops. Late night: Depends on the day, early in week fast ques for all. Later in the week queing as tank or heals seems to reduce wait time. REALLY LATE, oddly i get quicker ques as dps I know this won't make you feel better, but I have experienced 1+ hours of wait time as Tank at all times of the day. Sometimes I wonder about the group finder system. EDIT: I'm referring to level 55 toons ONLY in the above

again, i'm talking at level 55 guys, when everyone has all their stuff. When i originally made this post I was talking about level 55's, somewhere along the line tactical got turned into SUB55 ques. I'm talking LEVEL55 ONLY. Sorry for the redundancy but this post was directed at level 55tactical flashpoints ONLY. Not sub 55. We are all aware that tanks at lower levels have crap mitigation and threat gen. Again... level 55!!!!

People, i'm only talking about flashpoint Etiquette.... where it is appropriate "IF and WHEN" there is a tank to let them pull first especially on bosses and to AT LEAST let the group get caught up as not everyone has rocket boots to boost ahead like you do.

in edit: sadly 99.9% of the people WHO NEED to read this, will NOT read it.

So with the new tactical fp's it is possible to get into a group with 4 dps, 4 heals, 4 tanks, or any combination of that. So why when you get a tank, 2 dps, and a healer do we ignore the trinity in tactical Fp's, moreover why do people ignore that their is a tank and jump on ahead and pull before the tank? Is it because we all know they (tactical fp) are easy? I guess as a tank i get annoyed when people pull before me, as a healer i get annoyed when people pull before the tank cause NO MATTER how "OP" that particular person is pulling before the tank requires ME AS HEALER to work harder, and i REALLY hate as a DPS when the healer pulls before everyone. Now, is this because people are IMPATIENT or do they really see the encounter as NON-THREATENING? I'm inclined to assume most of you who are guilty of this are just impatient and use the reason "it is easy" as an excuse for your lack of patience. That is all. /endrant. I don't have a signature, but i play on The Shadowlands.

Top 10 Reasons people are in such a big rush to complete the flashpoint, demand spacebar spam during every cutscene, and vote to kick anyone who isn't in a hurry or who is incompetent. 1: Their guildies are getting ready to run ops in 30 min and they need those last elite coms to get over the 30k HP requirement for DF sm. 2: Their guildies are getting ready to run ops in 30min and they need to get weekly 3fp's done to get the ultimate coms needed to get over the 36k hp requirement for DP Hm. 3: Their friends/guildies are logging in and are quing for pvp. They don't want to leave group even though they are a dps but also don't want to miss their beloved noob stomping with my friends in pvp. MUST SATISFY MEH TWITCH FOLLOWERS. 4: They are streaming on twitch and want to get back to pvp as they noticed they have over 100 people watching them. 5: I slaved at my job at google all day and i don't have time to wait while you "experience" the game, do that on YOUR time. 6: They have A.D.D. and literally CANNOT hold their attention long enough to wait for all cutscenes in Black Talon. 7: My guild RUNS at full speed through the whole flashpoint, why can't other people in a pug group with half the gear my guild has do the same?!?!?!!?!?! 8: I was carried through DPHM by my guild when i had level 53 gear, and now that i have 40k hp as a dps i don't have time to jibber-jabber in flashpoints with lesser individuals so they should go AT MY PACE, lightspeed! 9: I must get EVERY DAILY done EVERY DAY or MY BRAIN WILL EXPLODE, oh I also work 12 hour shifts and have kids therefore we MUST MUST MUST SPEED THROUGH ALL CONTENT. 10: I think i'm better than you and to prove it i'm going to pull before the tank on my Mara/Sin just to prove that they are capable of tanking HM Operations.

No i'm very serious, no sarcasm here. I am just showing my sincere gratitude as i have LITERALLY been asking for these 2 things since beta and i'm really disappointed in all the flaming it is receiving from those 2 categories ( pvpers and hardcore ops runners ) of playstyle. *edited*
