Thanks. I definitely wasn't using it that way, haha. That explains some things that happened in KP last night.

What would be a good opener for a jugg then? Aegis > Crushing blow > Backhand > Taunt, maybe?

Pretty much. Force charge with enrage, crushing blow, backhand. Aegis can be held off on for a minute if you're single target tanking.

Charge->Enrage->Crushing Blow->Backhand->Taunt->Saber Reflect with always using Retaliation on CD when procced.

The alternative pubbie method is to force leap, taunt, aoe taunt, then force push.

It honestly didn't even occur to me to not use Aegis in a single target situation. It's just there, I HAVE TO CLICK IT.

But yeah that makes sense. Thanks.


I just had an idea to play a female smuggler, with risha as my companion, both dressed up in bikinis to be strong female characters but then I realized I would be indistinguishable from just a normal creepy swtor player so I decided not to do it.

But I wanted to share the idea because I thought it was funny

Why not open with saber throw or do Tank spec Juggs not get that?

From the dulfy guide:

quote:

You may be asking; “Why don’t I use saber throw?” The answer is that Saber Throw generates barely any threat, only a bit more than Force Leap. In 3.0, the Rage generation of the spec is massive and you do not need any more Rage than what Leap and Enrage grants. You’re delaying the Threat generation of your rotation by 1.5 seconds, which is all the room a DPS needs to rip aggro from you. Saber Throw does a lot more harm than good.

I use it anyways though :ssh:

I will sometimes, the problem with opening with Saber Throw is it instantly turns the mob toward the group and you have even less time to turn him around. For some bosses with frontal cleaves, that can be a an issue - like Bulo in Ravagers. Plus melee mobs will start running toward you and it takes a second to get them back in position. Force leap in and everything starts running at you.

Yeah we were talking about that last night. I expected sub 4 million by now. Maybe it's just the huge variety means people can charge more because the supply is scattered.

It's the same on Harbinger. I set aside 40m and was going to snap up any I needed rep for that listed for 4.5m or less but so far they're hovering around 6m.

People may be hoarding to speculate on them after the expansion as well.

Why is the only way to not level too fast to make the game boring to go to fleet (can't until level 7) and get an item that turns it off for only 8 hours? Why isn't it an option in the preferences?

Because why edit the UI for something that is only temporary for a specific subset of players? I don't get how this is a serious question.

Well once I get paid on Friday I'm gonna resub to this game for the first time since the SoR expansion launched. Looking forward to running the solo content and running SM raids.

One thing I'm not clear on, the "outlander" is just the PC you're using at lvl 60, right? It's not a completely new class that starts at 60?

Also I'm gonna be hot garbage at this game for a week until I figure out how it works. Are the current Dulfy guides still going to be good when KoTFE hits or will it be a clusterwhoopsie until the new rotations are figured out?

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Rep...he+old+republic

How does this work if you already have SoR? Is it just a cheap alternative to monthly subs and a bonus 2400 CC?

Except for always using a pistol when in combat you use a rifle.


Seriously, I wish you could just use a blaster pistol as an Operative... I'd LOVE to just run around with a pistol and a knife, kicking rear end as Space James Bond.



In other news, I said SUB OR SCRUB to some dude whining about credit limits in Fleet chat just a little while ago, and the pubs thought I was some sort of catchphrase messiah and I got like 5 PMs telling me to start a guild named that and they would join. It's kinda hilarious that that phrase is new to them.

I dunno, but I bought the SoR Amazon pack in June and then bought the KotFE pack 3 days ago, and the code worked just fine so I got a nice injection of credits and a few more months added to my sub for cheap. Also, please do click on a goon referral link before/after you sub. Here's one:

Yep, that's basically just a 90 day subscription card with a bonus of some cartel coins.

Dulfy guides will likely be updated soon after 4.0 comes out (And I'll keep the OP and following posts up to date), but they'll most likely still be similar for most classes, as far as moves go. There will be some massive changes (Annihilation/Watchman) but they should be good starters.

And yes, the Outlander is just your level 60 character that you take into KOTFE. No new faction/classes.

Last time I logged in I had somewhere in the realm of 20 million credits, is there anything to spend it all on? I usually picked small stuff up off the cartel market, like saber crystals and some cosmetic gear that wasn't too expensive but I don't really enjoy the idea of blowing it all on hypercrates unless I get in on the ground floor and flip them for a 3x profit.

I'm fresh to the whole deal but it is cool as hell to be the pragmatic and actually effective mundane side of the Imps while continuously having to fix things for the generally psychotic and ineffective Sith running the show. Ultimately the poo poo is probably evil from top to bottom but it's cool to be the fist of a relentless and efficient bureaucracy. Agggh now I'm wishing I made my agent look like Hermes from Futurama.

While I agree that some kind of toggle would've been preferable, I'm pretty sure you can hold onto the thing indefinitely and won't need to return to the fleet every 8 hours to get a new one.
