I don't think his post really had all that much to do with debunking the issues at 50, but really with expressing how from 1-49 Defensive Guardians go a long way to making you feel like a Jedi which I wholeheartedly agree with. Nothing he said is invalidated. It just has nothing to do with what you think it did.

http://www.torhead.com/ability/frU3UsE/resolute This may help you get the job done if you haven't used it already. You could kind of figure out when they are utilizing those particular abilities also and start a stun luck just before it, Stasis, force push, kite him a little after the force push while Kira works him down a bit more (Cant remember if they force leap or not), hilt strike if you have it. You could pop a cool down just before he may knock you down as well. Keep a medpack handy for a boost right when you get up. Maybe right when you get up you use a medpack force push them back and LOS around a corner allowing Kira to wear him down a bit more till he gets to you... Just kind of spitballing here, I didnt remember having much a problem with them, are you using Soresu form? Could help... I did them as a defensive guardian and don't remember dropping below 75%.

I had to watch the Trade Market for weeks and suddenly 2 popped up for 1k each, purchased both even though I needed one because I figured I might want it for another character...

Did you read his post?

See that's the thing, the robe you are talking about already exists so they don't need to make any new animations. Jedi Consulars get non belted robes on Coruscant.

If its something I plan to wear or use I roll need, if i just plan to sell it I roll greed. A need roll will always win vs a greed roll.

I attempted as a 39 defensive spec'd Guardian and doc couldn't even come close to keeping up with the damage. All orange gear, mix of Guardian mods/Shield/Absorb mods all blue level 14-16. I bladestormed whenever possible for shielding, used all cooldowns and interupted him whenever it was on cooldown and still my health was dropping too fast for Doc to keep up. The only way I can see this being more feasible is if you some how drag him up and LOS him around some of the Equipment to interupt his lighting ability.

Start Here: http://s1002.photobucket.com/albums/af150/The_FalconO6/CurrentLogicalPCBuyingGuide/?action=view&current=Guide.png This is a good indicator of what parts are ideal for what price bracket you are in. Next check out Toms Hardware for determining the best graphics card/CPU for the money. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-overclocking,3052.html CPU For games today anything over the i5 2500k is going to give you very poor returns on gaming performance for the money considering the i5 2500k is more than ample to dominate anything currently on the market. The i7 2600k or 2700k is only a good option if you plan on heavy video editing or high end model renderings (3D studio max). Graphics Card Most good cards in the $200-240 range will be able to max anything on the market at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 (1080p). $300 will be suitable for higher resolution displays but only look at getting really high end cards (400-500) or multiple card setups (SLI/Crossfire) if you plan on multiple display gaming (eye infinity). Remember: Building a $1000 machine now and upgrading it for $600-$800 in 1.5-2 years will give you a far better machine capable of maxing games for longer periods than $2000 on a ball buster machine now. Hope this helps PS: use http://pcpartpicker.com/ to check prices on different parts across multiple sites like Newegg/Amazon to find the best deal possible! PSS: 1000w PSU is gona be overkill unless you plan on running multiple GPU's, 750w is fine but do look for a good name brand, newegg has a PSU calculator to input your desired parts and it will tell you the total wattage you need.

Gotcha, seems its Treasure hunting I have been neglecting.

Many recipes I would like to craft require blue materials, I have yet to get any from crew missions, how am I suppose to acquire these?

Looks good, well organized /bump.

Story was exactly what I wanted in my MMO. I am pleased as ****. I loved WoW because I actually read the quests. Playing DAOC which had almost 0 narrative, left me begging for good questing/story objectives.

Oh calm down, WoW took a long time to implement that feature, SWTOR HAS the feature we are discussing, its just not working 100%.

I would be happy just to find this medium version on the Market, cant even find the schematic.

Empty? You got jipped, the saber I got at the end of the Tatooine bonus series was loaded with blue 11 mods for me.
