  1. I have found Battle Focus to be a pretty good spell.
  2. Well... Trooper Hammershot has been divided into 7 ticks since launch, and Bounty Hunter Rapid Shots has been divided into 5 ticks since launch. Since Mercs got offhand ticks, they ended up hitting ~7 ticks of Rapid Shots anyway. But for Vanguards vs Powertechs, the difference between 7 and 5 ticks is extremely important. Your chances of proccing most abilities with autoattacks drop by 20% or so per autoattack. Since almost every Vanguard tank ability procs off your autoattack, it makes Powertech tanks a fair bit weaker. It's also relevant when autoattacking a Shadow/Assasin with Kinetic/Dark Ward up.
  3. Hey folks, Boarder was hosting the guide on *his site but his site went down. Sorry about not updating my signature for so long. I've uploaded the guide to my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B166fRA6k_tzVER3ZU1ZbHpYM0E/edit?usp=sharing Please let me know if it doesn't work. Thanks for your interest! Edit: Boarder was hosting the guide on his site, not my site
  4. You can also enter TFB (level 55/post 2.0 version!) at level 53. I can't confirm anything more than that. Incidentally, TFB trash is great for leveling. I entered at level 53, got to level 55 before we got to the Dread Guard. I think this was under double xp though.
  5. For the ideal tank stat distribution, are you using a base 90% base hit rate for melee/ranged attacks? The bosses in your log tend to have around 80%-60% total miss rates on most attacks, so probably ~50% base hit rate on most melee attacks.
  6. Are DTPS values what you'd get if every hit didn't miss, get shielded, and didn't have any damage reduction applied? Or do they already incorporate base boss miss%?
  7. By the way, part of the reason why this thread didn't get many replies is because your ideal stat distribution depends upon your DTPS, and DTPS depends upon 1) cooldown usage 2) enemy behavior 3) which enemy you're facing. These things are much more consistent in PVE than they are in PVP.
  8. The strength of gear is determined by its mods. There is no 'best' armor, only best mods. The best mods you can ever get will be Nimble and Agile mods of the highest tear that you can wear at that level.
  9. Everyone's being really negative. But the truth is, if you have watched videos of NIM TFB/SNV, it's easily clearable now in 180/186 gear. There are plenty of guilds that would pug a sage healer/dps for NIM TFB/SNV without expecting any payment or special loot rules. You might want to try advertising that you're looking for a group for those operations on the weekend (people will probably be pulling DP/DF NIM on Tuesday) and see what happens. Also, maybe I missed it but I'm not sure which faction you're in.
  10. It's a class mechanic. You can't do damage and have stealth.
  11. One tank picks up all the monsters. The other tank picks up one monster at a time off the other tank and tries to get all the larvae. All DPS hit the monster that's on the single monster tank. Larvae die to in-rotation AOE. The fight is designed so that there will often be more than 2 monsters + Bestia out. That is fine. Just separate the monsters and kill them one at a time. The strategy will need refinement for HM and NIM but that's the gist of how we do it in NIM as well. If you're having any trouble in any SM fight the problem is more likely with the DPS's skillset, not the strategy that you're applying to the fight. SM is designed to be possible to clear with just about any consistent strategy.
  12. If you have the time I'd recommend leveling a healer first, raiding on it, then leveling a tank. Healing people will teach you when in this game a player is likely to not have aggro on something. That way when you level your tank and raid on it, you'll at least be aware of the problem. As I understand it, in WoW you can get aggro on massive packs of enemies and from thereon there's just one 'tank button' that you press repeatedly. SWTOR is very different from my vision of WoW tanking. In general you pull 1 pack at a time, build aggro on each enemy, and then move on to the next pack. Presuming you have aggro on everything in one SWTOR pack and that you have gear and/or cooldowns, you definitely can move on to the next pack.
  13. I can tell that's not the real Ashwinn because this troll used capitalization and punctuation.
