Just because some people think companions don't need gear, doesn't mean that everyone does.


Need on whatever you want to need on. I'm really tired of trying to argue decency because it's obviously a lost cause.

where's the AIM-Saber love gone....

I was smiling while reading back in the early pages how someone was calling someone else a bad person when they admitted they would roll need on an AIM-Saber.....

People should consider stuff before posting.... i think we should have a new thread just for AIM-Saber's to discussed, that was funny

I too would roll need on an aim-saber..... i'm Merc but I don't use aim, hmmm, wonder which saber user needs it .... hehhe

The marauder: waaaaaaah, i need that, i will use it as offhand, you're a ninja.
Me: you don't use willpower, you need strenght, at least i will strip the mods and use them all at the right value.

The marauder: no no, it is a single blade weapon and is rightfully mine even if willpower is 0 for me.

So ... who has is the right one in this situation?
Neither of you can really click "need" as neither of you can equip the item as-is, so both would have to ask in party chat before clicking need.

The game sometimes adds a handy "disassemble" button for you next to "need" and "greed". It's roll is no different than "greed" and you will roll with the "greed" people, but it makes it very clear what disassembling an item should be considered.

Sadly, the game doesn't make it clear whether "need" or "greed" is the right choice for companions.

This is why I hate PuG, always the same issue in every MMO.
Even if they did limit what you can roll on people would still have a work around it.

Was it a light saber, or a vibroblade? I know Qyzen uses aim for a stat, and he uses electrostaves and I want to say he can also equip vibroblades, so that could be used for him.
The average person thinks he isn't.

It's really more nuanced tha "you can't use it, so you can't roll". ESPECIALLY with orange gear. That orange chestpiece with all those +cunning mods?
I can definitely see a Sith Marauder taking those mods out and putting them into Vette's orange blaster or whatever piece of orange gear he assigned to her, while remodding the piece itself with strength mods for personal use, because it's finally a nice chestpiece that doesn't have insane shoulderpads, or because it simply matches his pants better.

Yes, I'd be pretty annoyed too if I lost that roll as an Agent, but at the same time, I do see that the Sith Marauder has as much right on that piece as I do. And really, it's only gear! There are plenty ways to get comparable or even better alternatives for that exact same piece. If you want that specific piece, then just keep grinding the FP. It'll drop again. Eventually.

why do we need big brother to come in and tell us what we can and cant roll on. If someone is a ninja looter add them to ignore, tell your friends, guild, report them to their own guild leader, post their name and action on the forms, then let the community sort it out.

Why does Bio ware need to act like Mommy and Daddy and tell the kids to play nice. If the community has any standards then this player wont find themself in a guild or groups. If this person admitted to doing such action or there were enough party members coming forward about the members action. As your guild leader I would kick your *** out of my guild with out hesitation.
