Yes, oh yes. Tell me more how bioware treated you unfairly for exploiting. Hungggggf. http://i.imgur.com/ittHCE0.jpg

How much apm can one expect on the dummy with this set up?

perfect, thank you, most of the people in my guild are slingers so I didn't have many people to ask.

Not talking about fights w/ a lot of target swapping, simply tips on how to recover from having the heat ramp rotation interrupted by mechanics via white bombs, mistakes, etc.

Hello Everyone, I've been practicing a lot of Mando lately and yes, the rotation is insane, my opener is typically fine, along with heat ramp and the "wait till heat ramp is up again" rotation. However, I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to keep my dps high when forced to switch targets? Example: I have to interrupt my heat ramp to switch to walker 2, do I go immediately to my sustain rotation to wait for heat ramp cds to come back up again and finish the heat ramp rotation? Other Instances I can think of are Lurker rocks, Master/Blaster Carpet Bomb, Revan Phases. Should I just self heal during these instances to build up super charge stacks?

Forgive me, but I'm trying to make sure I have this correct, but with the update in 3.2 we should still be reaching for the following assuming 198's for Tactics/Advanced Prototype: 174 Crit 292 Surge 720 Alacrity I just swapped to dps from tanking and want to make sure I buy the correct Earpiece and Implants. (MK-V Package for Power/Surge) I'm guesing a few Acc/Power Enhancements w/ Crit/Alacrity Enhancements splashed in there or more so on the Power/Alacrity Enhancements with accuracy/alacrity augments? Power, not crit crystals or one of each? I have a bunch of power/surge enhancements and Crit/Alacrity but is a low alacrity build w/ a focus on crit and power put up as many numbers in raid compared to the alacrity build? I'm still learning the ins and outs of gearing this guy so any help would be appreciated, I have a lot of 198s I could cannibalize from my Commando.

Black/Yellow seems to work fine for it: proof http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/ZiggyTank/media/swtor%202015-01-29%2008-23-26-61_zps8l5lgla8.jpg.html http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/ZiggyTank/media/swtor%202015-01-29%2008-43-42-37_zpsudgdvk0g.jpg.html http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/ZiggyTank/media/swtor%202015-01-29%2008-42-33-23_zpsf6i1ywnr.jpg.html http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/ZiggyTank/media/swtor%202015-01-29%2008-42-33-76_zpstiduduwp.jpg.html

Here are two looks that I've used in the past, I'm currently using the Black/Gold Motif. Not only did I do HM DF/DP so I could get the correct "Shine" to the armor pieces from the token drops, but the Black/Gold Motif has a high amount of sentimental value. I had 4 friends craft a bracer, augment kit/augment, Main Hand Crystal and Off Hand Crystal. They seldom play anymore except for one, but it's comforting to know that the look also has a momento from some of my closest friends even if we've parted ways gaming wise. I hope you enjoy.

So glad we focused on this instead of fixing operations, lag, bugged content, etc - Actually, Lurker got patched (not saying fixed since I have yet to do it till raidnight. Anyone confirm it doesn't pull its shenanigans anymore?

Tanks doing 10/10 HM ToS and Ravagers be using those B mod enhancements, so no. Useless to you maybe.

Update: This is just more background information on my raiding history. Our group went 9/10 pre 3.0 on NiM DF and DP (Damn you council) and are currently on HM Torque and HM Sword Squadron for 16 operation content. We only just started raiding as a fresh team last week and taking all of this information that both of you provided, I felt comfortable leading the group. I ended up delegating call outs to certain people and to keep myself sane, let the Barrel tank worry about things such as whether these next adds were or weren't to be mass barraged or volleyed to death. I do have a few more questions and feedback from all of your, well feedback. Though I have tailored by responses per person, I set the title next to your names so everyone can see what I'm having problems on at the moment or have question on how to better execute with my lead style. @Vaidinah (On keeping morale high during multiple wipes): @Oxidsed (on setting expectations for raiders and balancing raider's egos with what needs to get done) : @Torvai (On my agreement that "Main Tank" is an antiquated term and analyzing damage profiles): Finally, I don't know if I'm just self deprecating but I don't feel like I am necessarily the best tank out there. Other guardian tanks have mitigated or done more damage then I have where my perceived advantage is being able to call out and analyze the entire raid situation outside of just the tank role and worry about positioning for dps, healers, and the tanks. My insecurity I guess stems from, once the raid catches up and memorizes or gets very familiar with the fights, is my role then over to move over for those who can do it better? I'm not saying this will happen, it's just what goes on in my head. However after reading several "how to tank" posts, I have read that several tanks and raid leads say that DtPS in terms of tanking is a poor metric of analyziing just what a tank is doing in terms of a fight as whoever pulls first or second can drastically affect those numbers. Thank you for taking the time to reply and thank you again for your feedback as it is always appreciated.

I've only heard a few, and cannot find any threads or parses to confirm, rumors that the old set bonuses 4, are better than the full on six so people would be running 2 new, and 4 old. Is this true for a some classes/specs? I've heard some classes don't even have their set bonuses working or they don't proc when they should. Can anyone confirm this? Specifically for Sage/Sorc DPS, PT/VG DPS, and Guardian DPS? Just want to know if those old 186's from NiM are worth a round trip back to or not.

Edited for spoilers then

Thank you so much for the reply that I am just soaking this all in and rethinking how best to communicate this to our raid group. Though I am currently at work and unable to make comments and ask questions at this time, I would like to thank you for the time you put in to your reply. It is very enlightening and I will write a beefier reply as soon as I get home. Many thanks!
