The only time you'd need to worry about gear checks is Hard Mode raiding, and 208 will fail that check just like 190 will.

So for some reason I've decided to go for legendary player status, and I started with jedi consular. I've been super light side goody two shoes, and I want to be an evil, rotten bastard for my next character. Which class story should I do? Does bounty hunter give you plenty of options to be an rear end in a top hat?

But yeah, Inquisitor is great for that especially. "Is this the part where you capture and torture me, sith scum?" "Ah, thanks for reminding me! " Lightning

Some of my past playthroughs on ME2 and DAI, I didn't even bother with recruiting some of them. meanwhile in this game not only can you NOT skip recruiting some, you can't airlock them once you have them either. Or skip re-recruiting them, if you want to either get the rest of your guys back or the new guys or whatever. I just want to be able to shelve the companions I don't want to raise influence with so I've got consistent crafting results. It'd be super nice if we have 25 companions in 6 months for them to give a poo poo about the interface for them, but I have my doubt that it'll ever change.

What is the preferred tree for marauder pvp and do all the specs value crit the most of the non-mastery stats? It is apparently super hard to find up-to-date theorycrafting on this game.

I would assume Annihilation is superior in PvP just as it is in PvE due to heavy dots with Annihilate burst.

Medullah posted:I like having a selection of companions, they just NEED to give us the ability to sort by influence so I don't have to scroll through 20 people to find my high influence companion for crafting. I will accept this as a solution. I'm just worried that from now on, every time they release some content, there will be a byline "RECRUIT # NEW COMPANIONS!" as if that's a selling point. I like having a variety as well - but I think we've swung too far into the "variety" side of things. Pre-4.0, you wanted various companions because they all did different things. I love the fact that all companions can run all roles - I think it's awesome. However, an unintended consequence of that is that past a certain point, they're superfluous. In the original game, you got to know your various companions through questing and dialogue on your ship. As off now, past the initial quest, you never interact with these new folks at all. They're just kinda there. Why should I care about Hemdil Tre or K'Krohl or Choza Raabat? They made so little an impact on me, I had to log in just to look up their names. I hope that in future chapters, BW puts in some dialogue or mini-quests for them so at least I get to know them a bit. go3 posted:i hope Ashara dies on Alderaan so 3000 years later her remains get completely obliterated.

Alter Ego posted:I think they did it so they could add more companions from different species--Selonian, Nautolan, Gormak, Ithorian, etc. Yeah but when I get excited about a new companion its the story stuff. I like seeing their stories and I like seeing how they react to story missions. I care about Jaesa because I got to know the character and could see how she reacted to my choices. Take some of the returning class comps who are NOT in the main story, Talos for example. I never see how they react to how my character is different than their previous boss, and if it's my first time encountering said companion I have no idea who the hell they are. These things are important to make them more than DPS Companion 21b. Also the fact that Alliance stuff and Influence aren't account bound given the insane grind to hit 20/50 is

Wait...20 isn't the maximum for the factions? I'm going to be grinding crates for the rest of my natural born life aren't I? Thank god the crates are legacy-bound so I can grind them on my other characters. Gives me an excuse to play my Sage.

Make me have a reason to take out one over the other besides looks, since they're mechanically the same. On the sorting by influence thing, wasn't that something that the BW interface dude (sorry, I forget your user name) said he'd add to the to-do list?

Even if it does, though, I hope it continues to let you turn in crates if you still want more pieces of legacy gear. Gotta get those complete sets of Arkanian/Dread Guard/Resurrected  E: I can't remember--was it the Kell Dragon set for Jedi Knights that gave you the belt with the glowy Republic symbol in it?

Fury is acceptable for regs but a good player will destroy it. It takes nine seconds to ramp up Annihilation every time you start a target...an eternity in PvP. If you do manage to get it rolling your DoTs get cleansed and then you get chain CC'd you while all your pretty little Annihilate stacks drop off.

Well I give up. I can't solve these increasingly regular crashes with SWTOR so I guess I'm just done playing until the new videocard arrives. This is extremely frustrating because it appears to be simply a Hero Engine thing that I can do nothing about. I've found people from as far back as 1.1 having the exact same issue, never solved. Edit: I'll try to pop in for raids but that's about all I can do.
