It's hump day!

Thank you! I had no idea that it was the use of 61 armorings that made this possible. Much appreciated!

I tested this not 2 weeks ago and did not get the full 2018 expertise with a 66 purple mod and enhancement (everything else blue 66's). Once I replaced those purples with blue 66's, I received full expertise.

Your implants and earpiece will prevent you from bolstering to the full 2018 expertise but it may be worth the trade off. Might be best to take some blue level 53 implants/earpiece into a warzone to see how your bolstered expertise changes when equipping.

Level 53 blue crafted armorings/mods/enhancements or lower and not a single pc with partial expertise or old gear with expertise. Ditch the expertise crystals. Anything with expertise is not bolstered. Level 53 blues = 66 mod level = 148 gear rating

RE: Suggestion #1 I would suggest a slightly different approach where guard is concerned. Instead of increasing effectiveness as more points are spent in the tank tree, how about reducing guard effectiveness as more points are spent in a DPS tree? Could even reduce effectiveness by tier to avoid QQ from tanks putting points in first tier of DPS trees. This would also not discourage lowbie tank specs in PvP as their guard would still be 100% effective.

Bro, do you even interface edit?

66 blues or lower will bolster to full expertise and 66 purple or better will not bolster to full 2018 expertise. 66 item level = 28 armorings/mods/enhancements Tested this with 2 characters to make sure and see for myself. 1st character had all 66 blues or lower... full 2018 expertise (bolstered). 2nd character had a mod and enhancement that were 66 purple and I was bolstered to mid 1900's expertise iirc. I now have 2 conq relics and purple crafted implants/ear piece and all 66 blues on 2nd character... full 2018 expertise in warzones. Not sure if the drop in expertise from using purple 66 armorings/mods/enhancements is worth it or not. I prefer to have full expertise.

Nice necro.

If I find myself guarding a node in CW, I generally wander the platform spamming chilling scream in hopes of slowing any stealthers (I believe it won't completely expose them but does lower stealth level from what I have read). This should make them visible long enough to expose or at least you know you need to call for help. But yeah, what a waste to have a Jugg tank guarding a node. Much more useful in the middle of the fight. The only thing that makes them a good node guarder is their survivability. Buys time for DPS to respond to the call.

I think just increasing team size in warzones would be great. We have 4v4 and 8v8... why not 16v16? There has to be larger scale PvP (that works with engine limitations) between 8v8 and open world mass zerg fest.

Seems like a rash decision to delete the game so soon after coming back and paying for a full month... all because of a new planet and 1 companion quest line.

I think I know what you are saying, but that is meeting you more than half way. TL;DR - Nerf smash.
