another comment about Soldier's endurance is that you have to think about endgame. 3% of 25-30k is 750-900 hp. Yes not that big, but it is useful. However, we are going to be hitting the 45-50k mark after buffs and stims with end game gear. at that point we are talking 1350-1500hp. Now ask a healer, any raid healer. I gaurantee they are going to want that 1500 hp buffer when healing, over a loooong boss fight, it means a ton more than the 8% crit to stock srike

Justcae is on the right track changing Zalek's spec, but I think Zalek is one of the tanks that likes to DPS. You have to remember, we are tanks, not DPS'ers. Our job is to hold aggro and take as less damage as possible. We don't need a ton of DPS to hold aggro. The DPS talents on the low end of these trees are useless to a tank as most of our threat comes from Ion Cell/Stockstrike and taunts. Here's the spec you need to go: PvE Tank Build Here's why: Specialist Tree: No need for Brutal Impact (Again we are not DPSING here) - Instead go for Rebraced Armor. This talent Increases Survivability and further increases damage reduction, which is all about what we tanks are. 16% is to huge of an increase to ignore. No need for Charge! - This is more of a PvP talent as this talent is to unreliable (as in it could wear off when you need it the most) to need it during normal trash mobs or boss fights. Instead put those into Shrap Satchel. Its a great tool to use on trash to keep things from running all over. Tactics Tree: Your Demolition talent choice befuddles me. 6% crit is not going to effect anything we do as a tank. These 2 points here are better used on Tactical tools to reduce the Cooldown on harpoon by 10 seconds. Harpoon is a great threat builder and should be one of your main tools as a tank. Even if the mob is pulled to you, like a big daddy boss mob for example, it builds high threat still. So why would we not want this on a shorter cooldown? Assault Specialist Tree: Again, your talent choice of Heavy Stock is for DPS. Yes Stock Strike is our main attack as it builds a high amount of threat with our Ion Overload talent, but when it crits, the amount of threat that extra damage builds is menial. Stock Strike builds threat by triggering Ion Cell, that trigger is what builds the threat. So therefore, we would benefit way more as a tank with Soldier's Endurance instead of the crit damage from Heavy Stock. More HP's = More Survivability no matter how you swing it. I hope this helps a little bit and I don't mean to pick on you Zalek, but it just irks me when I hear a tank talk about how great their DPS is. Just hold the mobs on you and make sure noone is getting wacked on! lol.

On a serious note, it's not a new thing. Take hotels for example. 5 years ago, customers had no way of telling people about a hotel, good or bad. All's they had was word of mouth. Hotels generated their own persona and image. Now, with all the social media and feedback options, customers are the #1 resource people go to like on facebook. If you want to know what a hotel is like that you;ve never been too, go and look at the reviews people gave it. So with that option, do you think competitors are going to just ignore that option of putting up bad reviews? nonsense! hehe, happens all the fricken time.

It's a known fact Blizzard is sneaky and shady. I never had an issue with getting hacked when I played wow 3 years ago. Soon as I cancel ... the hackers had my email, passwords and everything else. They totally sell your stuff to 3rd world countries ... Hows that for a conspiracy theory

Give it a month

Oh dear lord, tell me there is some truth to this?

Guys that are here to LAN it up!! ... get some strippers and it'll be a perfect christmas!!!! OH if only this were true ... .... now I'm sad ...

........... I'm comin over!

LOL @ thinking someone can get an IP Address from the White House

one more thing: The only con I can see for the Dual Spec is that it limits the options to others. with the way population is now, it shouldnt be that big of an issue. But instead of groups planning a raid around taking what is needed, they just make sure someone, either the tank or healer, has a DPS offspec until they are needed, rather than just making the group tanks/healers/dps. That really isn't a con tho, but that's the only reason I can see that it would hurt the game. But again, the population is so overwhelming right now, it's a non issue

It is not a necessity .... games got along fine without it until WoW did it. Now everyone thinks it's a must have because it makes things easier. Not going to lie, it's a nice feature, but DEFINITELY not a necessity ... Kids nowadays, sheesh

I could do with or without Dual Spec. I am a huge fan of picking the class you want to be and sticking with it though. I remember EQ, Cleric was a healer, Warrior was a tank ... etc etc. It however makes raids and groups more versatile to certain fights. Some fights may not need an off tank, so that tank can go DPS and make things go a tad faster. So it's a win/win for me. I don't understand why it's such a big deal though. People today are so fricken critical of everything, you all just need to calm down and eat some fruit or something.

Sindorin's lack of response is most disturbing! *Force Choke* Where did you get these number from sir?

To be honest, I think a lot of this talk about glitches and what not has to do with peoples computer. This game isn't really THAT intensive on the graphics field, but it was enough to give my Laptop a run for its money. Now my desktop PC runs everything jsut fine, no lag, no glitches, except when I am in movie mode when accepting quests and talking to NPC's. The tree's leaves seem to go all haywire, but that doesn't effect the preformance or anything at all. This game is solid all around. I've got a tropper to lvl 21, a consular to lvl 12 and a smuggler to lvl 15. Everything is just solid. All quest's work, Companions do a decent job, even the Warzone's are rockin it on all levels. Still trying to figure them out, but I will get it down! I have yet to try the full raid functionality of the game, but I'm sure it's more than adequate. My ONLY issue with this game is directly related to it's success. But again, that will fix itself in time and yes, I am talking about the queues. I am a patient man though, so it doesn't realy bother me like it does a lot of others. So I'm not sure what it is that people are finding bad about this game that can't be fixed by upgrading their gear or fixing any issues on their side. It could also be that they just don't like the game itself, which is bound to happen. Not everyone is made for the Star Wars Universe

So because your entire guild has been deployed, you guy HAVE to stay on that one server eh? Interesting ... I read everything he wrote, that still doesn't make it any less true that if you do not have the patience to wait in a queue during the Launch of a brand new game ... then it's time to switch servers. My guild switched server Multiple times on 2 different games. It can be done, I promise
