Sometimes the powers you get are shit.

I am sort of scared of hard modes... Most likely because I prefer to tank or heal. As tank/heal in arcanian and above, which hardmode is the easiest introduction? I have healed EC and TFB as scoundrel, main tanked EC a few times, lead EC, off tanked S&V, TFB, DF and one I don't know... A level 50 one with the hutt robot making GBS threads fire.

If you're in Arkanian or better you're fine for HM stuff. The other healer in last nights raid was a Sorc in dps/heal gear I was in all hear gear and keeping the raid topped off wasn't a problem.

All better gear on a healer does is let you demonstrate you e-peen to the other healers while waiting for Oed to set the instance to the right phase. :getin:

The hard modes are intended to be done with what drops in the story mode. So HM SV/TFB are intended to be run with the arkanian gear that drops in SM SV/TFB. Partial exception is DF/DP where since the SM drops both arkanian and a little bit of underworld you really need to be in mostly underworld and better (I guess in theory its supposed to be run after NM SV/TFB which drop old 75s but nobody does that).

I'm sure oedzi wouldn't mind hosting another datacron run one of these days. I do think we need to get a guild +10 event going, have a few sorcs in place for pulls so we can just get everyone's alts

I have a question about how bolster works: Does it bring your gear up to the strength of the strongest player no matter what you're wearing, or does it take into account the difference between the level of your gear and your own level?

For example, if I'm level 45 and in a PVP match or KDY, will I get the same performance if I'm wearing level 45 blue gear that I'd get if I was wearing level 23 blue gear, or is it still important to keep your gear current?

I don't know how it works in PVP, but I've seen my stats fluctuate in KDY based on how current my gear was.

The main goon guild is on JC - it's worth a transfer if you want to do raids and have a goon community to chat with.

Yeah, transferring would be your best bet. I don't think we really have the numbers to support a guild on more than one server (unless it's for a good reason like "we all live on literally the other side of the planet from you,") not if you want to raid with it, anyway.

I've been playing SWTOR again, for the last week or so. I may be sending out a request to join in game. Just want to let people know if you see one ofmy characters whisper you. It will probably be from Enkalen or Dalej in game.

And even then we Aussies have all migrated to JC simply because that's where the rest of the goons are (even if we do get shittier pings to JC compared to the other servers)..

How does unlocking species work? The character creation screen says a level 10 character is requires, but the legacy screen says 50?

Also, gonna whisper someone to get into TNG, name Varlestra

IIRC, you need to create a Legacy (which is unlocked at level 10) before you can access the Legacy unlocks for purchasing most species otherwise you need a level 50 character of that race to unlock it for free. Most races cost 1.5million credits or 600 Cartel coins (except Cathar, who are only available with cartel Coins and are thus available account wide, not Legacy [server] specific).

Well you can buy the Cathar unlock off the GTN for about 400k credits, that's what I did.

It is split in that there are separate servers but you are not forced to play on the closest - you can play on the American servers from Europe.

There's also a fairly large French presence, with at least two Guilds Empire side. So you certainly wouldnt be the only European on the server.

And the best way to kick start that gear grind would be with our weekly Sunday raid (8:30 EST)!

Everyone come drink with nerds on the internet, kill space dragons and collect loot!

Yeah, the fun thing about the sunday raids is that most people in them are pretty well geared at this point, so you can clean up on all the arkanian/black market stuff that drops, and the elite commendations you pick up will actually be useful.

I'm probably not gonna make tonight's because I'm gonna be bbq'ing all day (and by that i mean eating things that other people are bbq'ing) and will probably be too drunk to type in my password by 830.
