Gotta love PvE attitude in this game

Meh both are as bad as each other, sad but true. You will get jerks from PVE and PVP. Just ingore it best you can and enjoy yourself.

Like somone said find a guild or some friends and run with them. You probalby have more fun .

I'm going to go with "you have no idea what you're talking about". PVP gear typically has less stamina than same tier PVE gear. Expertise is expensive.

thats seriously retarded, why does the HP matter when the healer keeps you alive anyways?, i mean of course a boss is gonna come around and 1 hit kill you....., but isnt that why we read the fourms so we can learn how not to die when we cross that part?

on ajunta pall i havent been able to get a full PvE group together to run a HM FP even in my guild, i find this very sad and depressing......i just want the rewards at the end of the flashpoint so i can Move on to operations, i havent even finished esseles yet with a group of rag tag let's goers yet.

PvP. Well, even if I choose a PvE server I guess I'll face the boring thing myself sooner or later. This will mean that I'll come mostly at lvl50 around Ilum when nothing more to do would be left but the heroics around planets. I'll be lvl50 ok but I guess I won't be more then 13k may be 14k hp. This will prevent me to be accepted into a team? So I will never get some PvP exp and my char will be bond to that status? Oh great! I'll start with a new one then or just "freeze" my account waiting for a PvE content upgrade. PvP for me is really a pain and with devs just focusing on it even for PvE servers doesn't give me really other choices it seems...

I'm going to make this very simple.

Your maximum DPS is proportional to your proper gear.

Your health is proportional to your proper gear.

So, in other words, assuming your gear isn't tank equipment, your health is indirectly proportional to your maximum DPS.

And until we get Recount, that's going to be how players are picked. My suggestion? Get better gear. I have 18k on a moderately geared Commando.

I remember clearing most Hm Fps with a tank that baerly had more than 15k HP, the rest of the grp was much lower... most players just suck and have no idea so they think of random numbers to judge others by, always beenn this way, always will be this way: Bad players just make up excuses for their constant failing @ playing right and avoiding dmg instead of just outgearing content. To OP; Just stay aways from these type of idiots, because they can't play, they don't know what the **** they're talking about and you're better of with people who have skill.. be they outgeared or not, ridiculous Gearscorewhoring community that came from WoW...

Shouldn`t this be direct proportional. Indirect means the more health you have the less dps you do.

Sry for dbl post, but that is bull****. OP stated he did every HC FP. And thats fine. But you won`t and can`t survive some of the Operation bosses without having a decent amount of hp. That is because you simply can`t evade lots of the dmg that bosses will throw at you. Be it lightning balls, or trows of soa, Anni droid aoe phases (which you have to take on hc), Bonethraser swipes (even heavier on hc) which you can evade sometimes if you time the sumo step, but not that often (and if you do it will cripple your dps by a lot). Etc., etc. .

you wanna go there? fine, lets go there

Lightning balls Soa, normal mode: NN to get there anyway, hardmode? shield, claok of pain, undying rage -> survive on regular base, we cleared all NM bosses in a complete random setup before this grp later formed my current raiding guild in greens/blues. The soa throws for 10 secs or so can be easily survived if you didn't go in extremly low on health to begin with.

The Ae phase on HC droid can be tuned down with so many defensive cooldowns every class has that this is just ridiculous, you can also take a freakin medpac, you don't need it at any other time during the entire encounter unless you're too dumb to dodge red circles.
The swipes can be dodged/outranged easily if you know what you're doing but you can also survive them with defensive cooldowns or let him take another target with the threatreduction skills you have, cripples your dps for a while, yes, doesn't make bonetrashmob unkillable though because you can't dps 100% for 10 freakin seconds.

It's just BS, skill will always get you through things, bad players not knowing a damn thing about mechanics and such will always resort to ridiculous gear requirements in order to clear stuff so they can act like they know ****... wannabepros, nothing else.
