Well, thank you very much. I really appreciate your walk-through on how to get the optimal T4 gear. I guess the answers in this thread will be valuable help for many gearing-up-novices... As suggested above, I have all 61er-armour pieces and I now have about 250 BH comms, ready to be spent. This will bring me about 60% through the procedure outlined.... Thanks again for this good guide, kind regards

Yes, I'm skilled for vigilence and I already have all Campaign armoring pieces set into my Columi gear (didn't know it so far, but I take from your message that if I put the Campaign armoring pieces into any other gear the set bonus will transfer to the new gear...). And I'll check all the numbers as you quoted... thanks as well for the belt & bracers hint... Thanks again, this is all very valuable info.

I too am a bit doubtful on the existance of hard limits. One guy in chat claimed that more than 2000 strength do not help much in DPS anymore, but power is the way to invest instead... well, I have a strength of about 2050 and thus I changed a +18 str / +12 endur - augmentation to a +18 power / +12 endure one, and, I had a somewhat lower dps than before.... so this hard limit of 2000 str doesn't seem to exist.... Anyway, I'd be glad to learn about hard limits, so, if you, or others, find or know something, come here to the speakers' corner! TY

Ay' I have a question concerning how to continue to invest the Black Hole comm. to improve my gear. I play a DD guardian. Here is my current state: I have a full Columi gear where I have changed all armoring pieces to Black Hole rated gear... this was significantly cheaper than buying the complete BH gear pieces with the commendation, but of course I have to improve the enhancements and the modifications now, which are currently still Columi-rated. I have now the situation that I can buy whatever BH pieces I want and move the enhancements and the modifications into the gear I wear. However, there are different enh. and mods and I don't know what to take... The Foestopper Boots are awesome, they deliver: +121 Str, +108 End, +82 Pwr, +57 Surge. Other BH gear gives different boni e.g. for accuracy and critical rating. Now I don't know what is the best to invest: Shall I go for increased Power and Surge, or should I target Accuracy and Critical Rating? Are there boundaries that, if reached, give diminishing returns in DPS? Where can I find advice in which mods and enhancments would be best for me? My current hypothesis is that as my accuracy is at approx. 104%, and my critical chance at approx. 35%, it's better to invest in power and surge, but that's not more than a vague feeling... Thanks in advance for your help

I know that I am overleveled... gear color ranges from purple (chest, found with treasure hunting), to some blue ones (including the light sabre) and some green items... I guess my gear is not very well, but not very bad either... I bought all abilities - by cc you mean crowd control? I don't think I have any other than the blade storm and the jedi jump at the begin of a fright...

Hi all, this is my first post here, sorry, it's long, grab a tea and read on… ;-) I'm new to SWTOR. Although I play a bit of EVE Online, I still consider myself a newb in MMORPGs….(sorry, no WOW 4 me :-) As my first char, I chose to be a Jedi Guardian. The Guardian is now lvl 25 (but I still haven't finished Taris) and I put all my skill points into Vigilence, so far. This makes me not a very well tank, and neither a very well DD….as far as I understand. As crew skills, I have Artifice, Treasure Hunting and Archeology. I have some questions and would love to hear your answers. Sorry if I ask things that have been discussed already, it's so much to read I still struggle to get an overview. 1) I try to compare my Guardian against similar Guardians, but could not do it so far. My specs with best gear, no lightsabre form, are: Strength: 407 Endurance: 386 Willpower: 67 Damage: 148-182 Bonus Dam: 81.5 Accuracy: 93% Critical Chance: 14.91% Critical Multiplier: 50% Health: 4669 (this is with two +14 endurance relics) Armor: 1708 (--> 2758 with Soresu Form) Damage Red.: 22.75% (--> 38.23% with Soresu Form). Do you think there is a problem with these specs, for a lvl 25 Jedi Guardian? In which area would you try to improve? Do you have any tips for my further progression? 2) Key bindings for battle By slowly slaying Rakghouls in the hundreds, I gain familiarity with the combat system and the focus loosing/gaining balance while considering the cool down timer of the different attacks. It seems to be essential to have a well-balanced , I have not yet found a good layout of the quick access bars at the bottom of the screen. I think I will extend the quick access bar to two lines, to make room for the different attacks, buffs and stuff. Do you have advice on how to lay out the different attacks into the two rows of the quick access bar at the bottom to have the optimum for the combats? 3) Space Missions: I do not well in space missions. In the second mission (belosar station) - I got sent back after some minutes with armor reduced significantly and having fulfilled approx. 20% of the mission objectives (having killed the 60 empire fighters, tho). This is with a fully upgraded space ship (level 1)... I'm ashamed. Do you know any internet site which gives me an "SWTOR space missions for dummies" intro and help? 4) Any other tips? There is a lot of material to read in the hive mind…. anything in particular that you can suggest? Kind regards in advance
