  1. I'm amazed that people complain about leveling in this game. If you just do 2 heroics per planet (does not take long) you will have enough levels and blue gear. If you do the planet story line you should be way ahead of the curve. Please just stop.
  2. I run into a lot of bossy people in Ops. Some insist on trying to tell me what to do. I love the classic "I can handle heals myself...you go dps". Or the ones who assume I don't know how to perform the most basic healing abilities, like refreshing slow-release med pack. I can always tell the best tanks right away because they use their cool downs smartly and make healing quite easy, they never say a word because they don't need to. Bottom Line, just put them on ignore right away and feel free to tell them you are doing so. Do you really want to group with these people again? I don't.
  3. I've found that playing my Shadow is most effective when I play him the simplest way possible. Clairvoyant Strike (just once) ---> look for discounted Shadow Strike/Psycho. Blast/Force Breach and use it. Often the use of one special will open up a another discounted special, so I use that. Rinse, repeat. Maybe throw in a few Saber Strikes to get more force power. Force cloak is a nice idea but I don't find myself needing it much. Clairvoyant Strike is the most important hit because it opens up the discounted specials. So no rotation really, just keep your eye open for discounted specials. If you are low on power then don't use a special unless it's discounted. Simple stuff really. During the Rakghoul event I got some compliments on my dps and I'm not even that good. Shadow is a good class I like it a lot. Psycho. Blast is my big hitter. Crits 13k in defiant gear and 208 saber.
  4. I'm sure he will play a role in the Emperor's defeat, as will Revan.
  5. It's only dead if you don't like the class. I don't PvP much anymore, but my dps numbers in PvE seem to be fine. I'm rolling through the Czerka flashpoints no problem as a tactics spec. I'd rather play assault, but I tried both and I think tactics has the edge. I think we have the best area attack in the game in mortar volley.
  6. How you play your class is mostly up to you. You don't have to complete any quests outside of your story if you don't want to. My agent is light side and he declined many of the missions on Taris because they were too destructive. He is very loyal to imperial intelligence and if you play an agent you will understand why. I have not played warrior or inquisitor but if you do decide to play a Sith don't expect chocolates and flowers.
  7. I play full assault in PvE and my groups seem to do just fine. HIB is ready to go all the time and firing it increases your ammo.
  8. Temple has not taunt. I hope you like getting shot at.
  9. All I know is when my group is in trouble I hit my alacrity buff and I become a healing beast. I'm sure it also changes the cool down of many abilities. Don't underestimate it's usefulness.
  10. I do believe this is the first stinker of an event released by Bioware. Rakghoul/HK/Gree/Dreadseed/Binoculars all pretty well received. This one...stinko.
  11. It's just basic George Lucas stuff not that complicated. The Empire was modeled after the Nazis. Sith use the dark side of the force which corrupts them, therefore they are evil due to the fact that they are corrupt and lack moral behavior. I don't see the empire as necessary evil, and this is illustrated many times in the story lines of both factions (in fact both sides team up on Hoth). They are just pawns for Sith to control. Sith promote the meanest of the armed forces to higher positions like Moff, so you could probably claim that both SIth and their high ranking officials are evil.
  12. Regardless of faction the Makeb story is bad. Regulators are very straight forward, there is nothing interesting on that planet. The only thing I liked was the heroics because some were quite challenging if your group was not strong.
  13. Go back to the PvP forums loser. The only way you are not enraging the hard mode shockbot with 24k dps is if they are both ranged, even then it's still a reach.
  14. After having done too many of these, here is the scoop. Forget about gear levels. 1. Tank - minimum 28k, use line of sight for difficult pulls (Athiss has one really bad one). 2. DPS - minimum 25k, use stims and click your relics 3. Heals - minimum 25k, you need to know the fights (some need cleanse or group dies) If you have trouble getting these numbers use the makeb planetary com vendor and build some orange gear.
  15. Armormech is pretty bad. About the only other thing semi-useful besides the augments is the ability to crit orange armor and get a free augment slot...not bad for when you want to create an uber companion.
