i have been wondering something for a bit the 4 set bonus in the shadow PvP gear is that when you guard one of your dps you do 5% more dmg the reason i am bringing this up is cos i have found out that when my guild is try to ether learn a new fight or even teach an old one to new or under geared player and you some time end up hitting an enrage timer now it might just be me but if we are teaching some 1 something and hitting an enrage time with the boss at maybe 100k left i dont want the new people who have never done an ops before to feel discouraged that they are not doing enough so i switch out to my pvp gear my stats stay realy close to where they are at in pve i only lose 3% defense mind you all my pve gear is augmented gear but i just want to hear peoples ideas on switching out to pvp gear for the 4 piece set bonus when you are teaching people fights just so as a tank you know you can do 5% more dmg

the best thing i can tell you do do is get augmented gear as a Shadow or an Assassin your 4set bonus is well to put it nicely crap its only an extra 2% so lets say if you are getting hit for 100 that means you will get hit for 98 instead you already have 21% so you are fine with out it as for the 2 piece its is really really good in till you hit over 50% shield with out it with it it would be 55% then get ride of your 2 set as well and get augmented gear put all defense in your augments the easiest way to do this is my getting to rank 60 in valor and having some 1 make you or make it yourself the battle master orange gear if you don't believe me ill tell you my stats i just got done doing an ops for my guild so i am buffed keep that in mind 24221 HP 40.97% Dmg Reduction 28.75% Defense 52.90% Shield 43.48% Absorption Keep in mind that you can use relics to up your shield rate and your defense but share a cool down also the shield over charger is awesome with my defense relic i got 35.20% defense and shield over charger has 62.03% Absorption

I have a few questing questions and was hoping some 1 would be kind enough to help me. I Play a Sith Inquisitor Assassin Style. I love the lore you get from doing the quests in the game is really in depth and fun. However I noticed something while playing my 1st assassin you can get off Korriban at lvl 11ish if you do all quests. However you can also get off Korriban at 8 if you wanted but you need to be lvl 10 to pick your advanced class. So lets say you leave Korriban at lvl 11 and head to Dromund Kaas you can get up to lvl 18-19 if you do all the quest there. Now I start to not really see a problem but a lil worry most because the next Planet Balmorra is lvl 16-20 quests so you start doing green quests right away and by the time you leave if you are moveing on to Nar Shadda you can be lvl 25-26ish and Nar Shadda is 20-24. So it seems like i am always of lvling the game before I even get to the quests that are the right lvl. I am just wondering if i am doing something wrong or if because i am enjoying doing the quests and learning as much as possible that is going on on each planet that i am hurting myself. So I was wondering if some 1 could give me there opinion or let me know if it tappers out higher lvls this is the 4th assassin I made scene just after per-released and they have all been out lvled for what they where doing by lvl 30 Maybe I am just not used to doing green quests from all the other mmos I played that's why I am asking and I know I am not the only 1 wondering this. I would like to list a few Pros and Cons I thought of well doing my 4th Assassin. Pros you learn a lot of story/lore [some not even import but fun] you can actually make a lot of credits from questing your crew skills stay at lvl with the planets [saying this so that way then if you have Artifice/Archaeology/Treasure Hunting you can usually find enough stuff on the ground to lvl Archaeology to get ready for the next planet and well finding the stuff on the ground you lvl Artifice to match it up] Cons if you are lvl 26 and doing a lvl 20 quest you can sometimes get 5exp for it [don't ask me how i stayed ahead of my questing zones getting 5 exp from some quests i just ended up that why] if you are 6 lvls above what you are kill it really doesn't feel like your having to work that hard to do your quests
