as title says just came back after a long brake and restarting the game as a sorc i plan to pvp and pve/raid as dps and dont know what crew skill to roll these days Edited December 24, 2012 by hobonaz

Since biochem is nerfed to ground, I don't think it matters as there is no must take crew skills like what you need to pick in terms of professionals in world of warcraft. (I could be wrong.)

synthweaving with archaeology and underworld trading is a good choice. you will be able to make all of your and khems armor while leveling. actually you will be able to make all but two of your class companions armor in case you want to switch companions. dont worry too much about purple gear. blues are good enough to level up with for both of you.

 

at 50 you can make augment kits and willpower augments for end game. you can either buy the blue mats off the gtn or make a alt slicer. a bounty hunter is a good choice for a slicer as its first companion has a slicing crit bonus. it is also somewhat self sufficient in leveling up slicing via missions too.

for the sake of trying something different I chose Artifice.

It definitely comes in handy as a sorc.

Crafting best crystals/enhancements/hilts as you level definitely comes in handy.

 

all orange equipment use enhancements (except wrist/belt) so that helps.

plus having an appropriate hilt every other level is great.

Since biochem is nerfed to ground,

How so?

Biochem is perfectly viable.

Implants, reusable medpacks and stims, and exotech stims that EVERYONE wants.
