Greetings all, I was wondering if there are any barrels that have crit/surge/str or something close to it, so a techblade can be viable to a dps Jedi. Or are there other stats on a barrel that would suffice?

If I chose to (force forbid) sport a vibroblade or techblade in lieu of my lightsaber, would it make any difference in functionality? Provided it is a custom vibe or tb?

I was wondering if the expertise stat applies to anything outside of PvP. I know that a few patches back thehy said it would no longer apply to anything outside of PvP, but I just got an Expertise stat saber crystal from the cartel market and it seemed to cause more damage and recharge the toolbar at a faster speed as well as speed up the attacks I make..I could be completely off and derping but I figured you guys would know best. Thanks for the input and see you on the battle field..I will be the one getting stomped into the dirt most of the time ;-P.

Thank you so much!! I will give 'er a try next time we hit a hard mode. Is there any sort of mod/enhancement/etc. set up I should chose over another? Is crit/surge still the way to go?

I have recently started doing hard mode flashpoints on my Mara and do not seem to be putting out enough dps, so I have been tweaking my gear with daily rewards. Is there any specific enhancements/mods I need to look for to get up to par? I am mostly anni with about 6 points in carnage...Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

As I continue to try and tweak my toon's performance I keep hearing differnet suggestions for mods. I am Immortal spec. Should I focus on mods that will increase endurance over strength or strength over endurance to make up for the weaker aspects of the class. Also, what other skills (surge/power/etc.) should I look into?

Ty!! I was wondering if that was the case since I have jumped ahead so much with all my companions spamming diplomacy for rewards and such. I just got tired of failed missions :-).

My toon is level 34 and I have Jaesa up to 7755 affection and she is darkside. The codex entry I have is for the lightside Jaesa. I have been feeding her (and the rest of my crew for that matter) a lot of gifts and such. Already we have gone through the kiss and sexy stuff and she hasn't said anything since around the 6000 mark but I keep getting the "Companion wants to speak with you aboard your ship" message or the companion conversation icon above her picture but when I get to the ship she doesn't say anything? Am I bugged or just behind in levs? I have finished all class quests on Taris and Quesh but haven't done much more there if it helps anything...Thanks for your help!
