1.2 Hard Mode loot. Why raid when you can just run dailies?

People take the route of least resistance. Doing what you say takes getting up a group of people at the same time that are good at there classes. I can do that once every 2 weeks. My Guild raids once a week, and I have life issues for half of them.

Now, do I support daillies for endgame gear? Not really. But you can only play the game that is given you. So I will run them.

By completing all dailies at least once a week you will earn 6 black hole commendations. It will take you about 2 and a half months to get one piece of gear.

Please try to read about the changes they actually are putting in the game before you go all ******* crazy.

I know reading comprehension and critical thinking are at an all time low on this board... **** I think I just need to stop coming here, it hurts my *********** brain to read the bs that is constantly spouted off.

All of the "You don't deserve the best gear, only we do" post, sound like a bunch of selfish children. If you raid to get gear, why do you care if its obtainable solo? If you don't want to get the gear that way by soloing then don't do it.

Stack solo gear with PRESENCE end of.

Does Black Hole gear have a set bonus or no?

I'm happy because as an avid PvP'er I always get to hear to I don't have the right gear, this has ultimately excluded me from ops/raiding since I don't have an active guild of my own to roll with. Now I'm given a chance to, solo, get some decent stuff which in the end might open a door to other PvE activities. It may take a while but it's atleast something.

Most of these posts assume that people don't want to raid and therefore should not be allowed to get raid gear. This is not always the case, some people have lives and simply don't have time to raid, and some people are not in active guilds and don't get the opportunity. its wrong to deny those people a way of obtaining high level gear and any mmorpg worth it's salt will devise a way where people can do it on a casual basis. Nothing is given to them they still have to earn it by doing dailies when they can, and I know from personal experience dailies can seem more work than raiding. Anyway as it stands this is all by the by since you can only obtain 6 blackhole commendations a week it would take far to long to get a full set of gear, upto a year and a half which is ridiculous by any stretch of the imagination.

A lot of whines in this thread are ridiculous. "You dont play the game the way I do, so you shouldn't be allowed to"


get a grip.

I don't understand how people can be arguing that doing dailies for raid gear makes sense. It takes all the progression out of raiding and turns it into just some optional thing you can do, like fighting world bosses or getting the +10 datacron.
All that will happen is people will get max pve gear and then have nothing to do. Why raid? It's more difficult, time consuming, and doable less often than dailies.
It's basically handing gear to you...

THISSSSSS
Presence opens up the door for actual solo gear.

I would argue that it makes perfect sense to do dailies for raid gear equivalent gear.

The Daily gear doesn't have set bonus.

Raid Gear does.

You can only get like 15 commendations a day from doing all the new dailies. The ears and the 2 implants cost 30 each. The Bracers and the belts cost around 60. The other pieces cost between 120 and 90.

By the time you farm all of your gear, which wont be as good as Raid Gear, Raiders will already have the they need.

Blackhole Commendations armor is the new entree point armor for Operations going forward. The creation of the set is necessary in order for new players to get into the new raids faster.

Even with the new Armor Set, to get into the new operation with a fresh 50. You can do Dailies on Corellia. Hard Mode Flashpoint Dailies, and tier 1 Operations to begin gearing out your character so that you can do Tier 2 Operations. Doing all three of these things will still take you a few weeks to get you ready for

Stacking Daily gear with presence isn't a necessary solution. They would need to change the mechanics of how presence worked to make that a viable option. Presence in addition to making your companion stronger, would also need to make you stronger. And it would have to be programmed in such a way to only make you stronger when your with your companion.
