I think you have more right to a level 41 saber than a level 45 would, and a if its an upgrade to the 45 I'd never be upset at them for rolling on it. If its an upgrade, need it. How big of an upgrade, or how bad you need it now, isn't an issue unless you're rolling against guildies/friends.

As an artificer, that mods commendation vendor cannot die quickly enough. I thought I'd be gearing up my friends with enhancements, but they have enough commendations (costs 2 each) to not ever need me.

The problem isnt 50s. The problem is geared 50s. Open up the 50 bracket, but allow 50s to join the normal bracket if they dont wear pvp gear.

Just accidentally spent most my ingame money on a novely item from a vendor by misclicking. Can't believe that you cant sell back for full price if you don't leave the transaction page with that vendor. If you walk away and come back, you couldnt expect 100% back, but 10% back 5 seconds later without moving or closing the window isnt right.

Easy enough for bioware to see if hes done it more than once. if hes done it more than once, i'd expect a perma ban considering some of the other soft bans I've seen thrown about.

looking at how my lowbies numbers break down, I'm looking at a raze proc per 10ish melee attacks. Does Thrash count as 2? No worries about your reply. It did its job, as there were some newer posts I hadn't seen, and they soured me on Raze quite a bit.

I really hated on Deathfield when I had it (i was level 20ish). Does it get better? Knowing that Wither isn't all that important (not an op tank)...I think it comes down to Raze vs Harnessed Darkness. Raze is useful pve and pvp (though that sticky that i just read 11 pages in to make sure i wasnt making a fool of myself says it doesnt proc enough), HD is obviously useful pve, any good in PVP? I want to say Harnessed Darkness > Wither > Deathfield, but haven't a clue where Raze comes in.

Im well aware of the builds... Theres 2 options, darkness to 31, or darkness to 23. Im at 23 and looking for advice. My thoughts are darkness to 31 is only needed if you're a high end tank, for the 5% damage debuff. My thoughts are Madness tree is important for pvp. But thanks for reading the post subject and responding solely to that.

Im the tank for a group of 3 that play often together but not always (healer/dps are other 2 obvi). I've got my build up to 23/0/0 and I'm quite happy with it. The next 2 points in darkness are unimpressive, but Harnessed Darkness looks like its a fight changer for the heal (I still do a fair amount of solo). In the madness tree, Raze also looks amazing. I use Crushing Darkness as my opener (not sure if im supposed to or not, but Im a big fan of dots), and even use it midfight (i know im not supposed to) after an electricute. If I want Raze, then my darkness talents stop at 23. Im clearly a casual, as Im level 33 now on my main, but my purpose of pve is to improve my character for pvp. pvp is my endgame, but not at the sacrafice of pve yet so i dont fall too far behind my group (they're a few levels up as it is). I think im awesome @ the 3 turret warzone, and bad at the other 2. Given that, wheres my next talent point go? Will I like Raze or Harnessed Darkness better? I had Deathfield early on, and was unimpressed by it. Never made it to Wither in the beta.

I find biowares laziness/forgetfulness regarding this unexcusable.

It sounds like less than a 30 minute job for a dev to add some willpower shields to the artifice training. How is this not done yet?

I can't find the search button....i swear it was here in the beta... anyways, ***!? Can't make any willpower shields still? Thats 1/3rd of tanks getting the shaft. I see on these DB sites that they do exist, and i guess come from schematics found via Treasure Hunting.....but then the next artifice issue is that Artifice schematics seem to be the rarest around. I've never seen one. I've had treasure hunting, i've checked the GM often....

Id go Crushing Darkness before Shock, as Crushing Darkness has 2sec cast time. I use it as my opener on Strongs+.

it does give rare schematics, but does not give you the rare mats you need. Sorry I cant tell you with certainty which one you need, i just woke up and this is my first post, but I believe you need Scavenging and Underworld Trading.,...ill try and dig up the info if someone else doesnt post soon.

Yes, but dont you agree that having double the crit chance is better than not having double the crit chance? (5% base crit chance. some companions have +5 crit)
