That has to be my problem, then... I have been using HEGC ... I'll respec and give those trees a shot. Thanks, guys!

Perhaps it's my rotation? Right now it's: Weak group targets: If DFA is off cooldown, use it, mop up with rapid shots. If DFA is on cooldown, Explosive dart->rail shot, flamethrower once dart detonates, mop up with Rapid Shots. Strong targets/Elites: Explosive Dart, Unload, Flame Burst, Rapid shots until heat decreases, Rocket punch, and repeat, throwing in Electro Dart/shield if necessary. It worked very well on Dromund Kass, just now it seems to be remarkably less effective.

Hey, all! So, I made a BH Powertech a few days ago, and at first everything seemed to go pretty well. Hutta was cake, and the second planet was longer but just as easy. Now, however, I'm on Balmorra, and things seem quite a bit more difficult. Disproportionally so, in fact. Groups seem to take quite some time unless Death From Above is off cooldown, and strong/Elite mobs will take me down to 1/3-1/4 health, even with Mako healing. I've died several times on mobs that were a level below me. Now, here's my question to people who know a little more about this game than me: Am I undergeared, perhaps? I've been stacking Aim and Endurance, and right now at level 17 I'm sitting at 244 Aim and 246 Endurance. I've been going straight up the Advanced Prototype tree to grab Hidden Blade ASAP. Am I doing something wrong? Is the game supposed to be this tricky? Or am I just terrible?
