Why anyone would ever escape a 2 sec knockdown is beyond me.. I doubt I would even have the reaction speed to escape that.

My personal experience with the animation delays has been 100% tied to deflection animations playing at the same time. Simply put, I want to use Ability A, but my character is busy deflecting a blaster bolt, so it takes a second or two more until the ability actually starts. This problem has only been present when I play melee. I only have two characters; one Assassin tank (who obviously deflects a lot), and one Sorcerer (who rarely deflects). Two ends of the spectrum. As I said already, my Assassin has a lot of delay in activation, but my Sorc has almost none. It seems to me that they could fix this problem mostly by retooling the way that deflections (or any automatic animation) is handled, but allow activated animations to have priority over automatic animations.

Not sure why people keep linking swtorface. Yes, the information is listed there, but it is not in an easy to use chart that compares side-by-side which gifts are best for which companion. The charts simply make it faster to get maximum affection gain for every gift. And that "node" link is horrible. It doesn't even list the "favorites".

Not worth trying. Trolls die of hunger if you don't feed them, or so I hear.

Good catch. lol Hasty replies to a moron leads me to making errors. Guess that is what happens when I try to use these forums at the end of my nightshift. I'll make some republic ones next week. Will be same format as the ones currently up on my guild's site. Just replace the "Gift_Preferences_SI.jpg" with "Gift_Preferences_JK.jpg" or JC/SM/TR.

Thanks to the downtime, which is always during my nightshift job, I was bored enough to make some Gift Charts. Enjoy. Sith Inquisitor Sith Warrior Bounty Hunter Imperial Agent These were made for the purposes of my guild, so I only made ones for the Empire classes. If Republic people want them as well, say so and I'll do that next week during the downtime.

My guess is you didn't even look at the links. Your link does not give you side-by-side comparison among all companions of a specific class in a visually easy to discern manner. But nice try. "Thank you" would be the proper response.
