  1. Hi everyone! Returning player here. Had a few questions I'm hoping the community can answer For background, I played in beta all of the way through to just after Knights of the Fallen Empire was released. I think I did whatever "episodes" were released and then fizzed out on the story after the time jump and everything. Content wise, I mostly played PVP and leveled all 16 classes up. Most of my toons are level 60 with a few at 65. My questions: 1) Where is the best place to find info on the current meta? There are a few classes I remember enjoying and was maining a sith assasin / jedi shadow when i left, but i also really enjoyed operative, sniper, powertech and a few others. Because i enjoyed several of the playstyles i would love to know what the builds and stuff are and what content each does well in right now. I used to go to Dulfy but that seems to be not actively updated when i took a quick look 2) My toons are a mix of Satile Shan and Starforge servers (i think those are the names). I notice there are fewer servers than there used to be. Are there any preferable servers over others? 3) Empire vs Republic - when i was playing it was very heavily emp skewed... what is it like these days? does one side give a better experience than others? I've enjoyed both sets of stories in the past so i don't have a good lean either way 4) UI - Have they added any notible features to the combat UI of the game? Specifically, i remember that tracking buffs on myself and HOTS and DOTS on my allies / enemies was EXTREMELY clunky. If there have been improvements, any tips on how to best use them? 5) Story - like i said a few of my toons are a few episodes through the knights of the fallen empire story. I don't really remember what happened if i am being honest, other than my general sense of not loving the time jump, losing my companions etc etc. What is my best bet? should i start on a character that hasn't done any of it yet to refresh my memory and then swich to whatever i want to play? Or can i just skip the rest of that expansion and move on to the next expansion story? im afraid i might be lost if so. Thank you in advance for any help. Really looking forward to coming back to the game and getting my Star Wars on Kenjer
  2. Looking more at what classes you think do better at it. Also thinking things like world bosses. May be unrealistic now with the downleveling changes
  3. Back when I played WOW and EQ2 I enjoyed trying to solo things that were never meant to be soloed. Obviously you need the gear for it, but certain classes were very well equipped for it. I'm curious what people's opinions are on the best classes to solo (and what companion to solo with). My initial instinct says an immortal Jugg with a healing companion... but i may be off base.
  4. Been thinking about getting a SP3 for a while, but from what i heard it struggled really badly with any games. I'm curious if anyone has a new SP4 and has tried TOR yet?
  5. Curious how people keybind shoulder cannons. The point is obviously to spam them during the burst window, but spamming shoulder cannon while hitting the other abilities as well always feels awkward to me, and i inevitably either don't do SC as fast as i can, or miss a GC on other abilities. I"m curious how other people have it set up, or if i am missing something obvious. This isn't my main class, but I've never had this sort of keybinding issue on any other class.
  6. Thansk for the tips - i think i do most of that, but its good to know that i am "supposed" to not be able to handle focus from multiple competent DPS. I definitely can be better at using my stuns. How do you handle the arena matches that are 3dps+1 heal on each team where the other team tunnels you and your team isn't great at peeling? Are those just unfortunately going to be losses? Not sure if you "yolo" queue or only team queue. Thanks for the help, seriously nice to see a good community on these forums!
  7. Does anyone have any tips in terms of survivability? I find that even using my cooldowns staggared and correctly, one or two people can focus me hard enough that i am quickly out of options. The biggest problem i find is that its very hard to kite away with more than 1 person on me because of the prevelance of roots lately, expecially force based ones. I simply can't roll if a jugg roots me with leap, assassins can root with one of their DOTS, sorcs can spec into root on knockback, etc. I find that i am CONSTANTLY rooted. Would love some tips - I'm new to healing and the operative style is by far my favourite (played all 3) but i just can't seem to "keep up" with the damage and CC that comes my way (and to my team)
  8. Been healing on my operative in Ranked and getting frustrated that i can't keep up with the burst. I know Mercs have great burst healing, but I'm wondering if they are durable enough. Is Merc viable to do well in ranked, or is it all about sorc/sage these days?
  9. Hard Switch = after pressuring one person everyone suddenly switches to another target (preferably using dps cooldowns). This is a common tactic among coordinated teams and if the healer isn't on the ball you can blow someone up quickly. Tank tunnel = Put more dps into the tank than the healer can deal with. When targeting the tank, he is unable to mitigate your teams outgoing damage using taunts (because he is the target)
  10. Just use basic comms to get a 186 knife
  11. Title says it all. What is your favourite comanion to solo with @ 60 doing dailies and stuff? For Heal spec? For DPS spec? Go!
  12. 1) Waaaaa i paid for something someone else gets free. Also, you only reset utilities for free. 2) No. They've made it clear hybrid is dead and too hard to balance. Whether this is your cup of tea or not (its not mine TBH) thats the design decision and i respect it.
  13. hatred is assassin.... serenity is shadow.... same tree, different faction.
