  1. Well, if he's 55 and only has 1200 wz comms a good starting place would be to get the relics first (Obroan Focused Retribution and Serendiptious Assault) you would probably need like 1 or 2 warzones to get the 2nd one, but those relics can be a huge boost to dps in both pvp and pve. If you are a sorc and lightning spec then reaching the accuracy cap should be your highest priority. You can do this in the way of enhancements (usually the iniative enhancements) and implants/ear. When you start to min/max you will find that it is better to have 2 accuracy augments in your ear/implant than to have 1 enhancement with accuracy (but that is beyond the scope of your questions). I doubt you understand some of what I am saying, but it will all come in due time. As a sorc your main stat is willpower (even for augments as well). Once your accuracy is at 110% (force accuracy that is) start working on increasing your surge to around 71%+ at the very least. At this point if you have both of those you can start taking on a little crit, but not too much. Some will say not to worry about crit in your gear, but even with augments and such I still find that putting some crit in your gear helps, you just have to find the sweet spot when parsing (again beyond the scope of this thread). Most of my advice relates to pve, as stat priorities are different in pvp. edit -- As a response to your question about the stats you listed, don't worry about endurance, just focus on power/crit/surge. Force power relates to your current hilt that you have in your weapon. as a lightning sorc you don't need alacrity if you don't want it, but at max i would only have 1-2 enhancements/ear/implant with alacrity on it if you want to have a tiny bit.
  2. Since you stated you did dailies, if you have moddable gear (in your armor slots) just buy the armorings/mods/hilts/enhancements (appropiate to your class) off of the gtn. That is the easiet route to go if you have the money to do so. Just look for the ones with "28" in the name (with the recent change to actual gear ratings i don't remember the exact number). And at the very least get the level 53 earpiece/implants (gtn also) as they are relatively cheap.
  3. I can confirm that the pyramid thing works, after about 3 pulls in a semi-pug i was in for hm dp we figured out that you had to place your simplification in your assigned spots, and then as soon as you place it immediately jump down and hit the crystal. When you have placed the simplification you have no time to do anything but get to the crystal at the bottom and click on it. Other than that, the fight is the same as always.
  4. I agree with this post, it points out what I failed to mention. The main point is healers usually don't need a guard.
  5. Then you obviously haven't run a lowbie flahpoint with one of my tanks, rarely does a healer have adds on them, and if so, are promptly dealt with. I would go so far as to say to not demand it. There are specific fights where guarding the healer helps (most of them being in some ops fights (hm brontes, 6 finger phase for example). I've seen too many healers ask for it and then explain to them why they don't need it. But I digress, and i do agree to an extent. That's why most of the time I am tanking the flashpoint myself, because I seem to get what you are describing, so i solve the problem myself hehe. Just as the old saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself.
  6. Heh, I've seen that type of thing all too often and have done it myself because i do spec-switching on a lot of my chars. To give one example, I was doing some dailies and got bored so I decided to tank something on my jugg. Needless to say i switch specs and queue up after putting on my tank set that I carry with me. It pops, and iirc it was HM HS (it's been so long I don't even know if I chose the right flashpoint correctly, hehe). We get through the first sets of trash with some difficulty, but then we get to the 6 dog pack and wipe miserably. Up to this point I had noticed the healer seemed to be struggling to keep me up, yet never said a thing. So I start to proceed to say something and I just so happened to look at my buff bar and then proceeded to /facepalm while I laughed for like 30 seconds and explained to the healer why they were having so much trouble. We get back with me in tank stance and the rest of the run goes smoothly. Needless to say, after this incident I always check for my stances lol. Also, not related to gf, but I have went into dummy parses on my mara in juyo form while in carnage spec and wonder why my dps was so low .
  7. On the Shadowlands myself, and I couldn't agree more on the not understanding part. It just suprises me the level of intellegence of some people. I understand not knowing the basics, but like many others before me have probably pointed out....how does one get to 55 in such a state? But hey, if you're still up when the mob goes down, they had to have been doing something right Granted this post also adresses the others before you, but you're the lucky one that made me speak.
  8. When I am on my tank alts, I will do the same thing to "keep it interesting." Because at this point, even tanking raids (I've tanked my share of them) can be boring. God forbid the tank actually giving himself something to do. Also, I have found that the majority (I get the good peeps once in a blue moon) of pugs I tend to group with do not know their rotations and/or are not min/maxed properly so there would be no need for a guard. And to quote you "what possible harm" would it have done to not have the guard on? I would also like to know your reasoning for defending their selfish actions, granted both sides were, but the taunt on the boss was intentional, you can't argue that. As I see it, he is not in the wrong here, but let's get back to these interesting stories, I like them.
  9. It's mostly a game of antcipation. as arsenal I would get off a couple of attacks (ps > tos > 2xtracer (atleast 2) > heatseeker > rail shot > and then electro net and finish him off). But seeing as you are 47 you have about 4 levels to go before you get electro net, as electro net doesn't let them run away or stealth for that matter, which helps you greatly. But like I said it is situational and you need to anticipate when he is about to stealth. That and if you ever go against a scrapper/shadow/sin/operative have your stealth scan on keybind so that when they try to run away by cloaking out, you can pop them out of it.
  10. Weird?...more like normal, on the Shadowlands server this happens (and I have no doubt on the others) all the time. So much so that I have started to shy away from pugging, and I am a pretty lenient guy at that. It just astounds me the amount of gall and pride some people have to not admit these things. Especially when I see peeps in full 78 welfare gear with no set bonus that even makes me wonder. So just know that you are not alone . I always start checking achievements as soon as I get in the group lol.
  11. Also...as I have done this on my pt a time or two is that if you time it right...be it a jump or positioning someplace is that the grapple follows a parabolic type of motion...propelling people over walls and obstacles...does not always work....but something I noticed from time to time.
  12. Not a business person myself, but there is just to much risk and uncertainty in implementing the ideas, that's all. If the potential risk does not offer a reasonable increase in profit, why take that risk?...at this point, this is where market researching comes into play, for me to speculate anything else would not add to this conversation. -- edit -- also the amount of resources and time spent implementing your ideas is also of concern, things look good on paper, but that doesn't always translate to reasonable business decisions.
  13. You could also ignore the insults, that works too. But hey, look where we are now. In a sense you helped the derailment if you caved to them, so you are just as much at fault as the others. -- edit -- And to be honest, these ideas while they seem useful, just don't sound feasible business-wise atm to attempt such endeavors.
