Ainsley McTree posted:Can someone remind me how SWTOR's taunt works (in pve)? The tooltip says it forces the enemy to attack you for 6 seconds; does it also bump you to the top of the threat table, or is it literally just the 6 seconds that it gives you? Taunt puts you at 30% more threat than the highest threat on a target. If a target has no threat (i.e. you use it to open a fight) it'll add nothing. Edit: in opening a fight you should taunt after you use you're two most threatening attacks. For Sins this would be Force Pull->Shock->Taunt. No DPS can generate enough threat to counter that giving you an excellent cushion. During the fight Taunt should be used on CD unless an aggro drop or swap mechanic is present.

Hulk Smash! posted:The one thing I don't get is that I haven't seen any of the hypercrates on the GTN for less than 6.5 million. I guess the gold sellers have not got their hands on them yet? 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.

Fuzz posted:This is why Darth Marr is awesome, because he's LS as all gently caress. Marr basically is the LS Sith Warror, something he even sort of points out if you're an LS SW and do the SoR stuff... he specifically says that you're not that much different from him, and he knew the two of you would see eye to eye when he calls you the Empire's Wrath. Eh calling Marr Light Side is a bit of a misnomer...he's just more pragmatic lawful evil than the cackling "gently caress you got mine" neutral evil Sith like the DS Inquis or Palpatine. He is definitely bloodthirsty and loves war, specifically murdering the heck out of the Republic and Jedi. In the comics he also drove a Moff who had lost a battle to suicide just by showing him his face.

So if you have any and want to try and cash in, nows the time. I took the 4 we had in the guild bank and put them up for guild funds, please don't undercut me. Ahh neat I've got like 3 full stacks of Exonium that I never really did anything with. Fake edit: they're still under 10k on Harbinger. JC must have gone Exonium crazy for some reason.

Medullah posted:Yeah I spent alot of time learning the "ideal" implant schematics when 3.0 hit and unfortunately they just weren't that much better than the Yavin basic comm ones, and the purple mats just never seemed to drop from diplomacy. I'm hoping with the focus on simpler crafting along with mastery I'll be able to make some money off implants. Assuming they add vendor relics to reverse engineer I think Artifice will continue to be profitable as well. Yeah just speculation. Implants, earpieces, and relics tend to do well since there's no set bonus to worry about. From that list Implants drop from some of the harder bosses so that might encourage people to be lazy combined with the fact that supposedly crafted gear will be more comparable to drops. prefect posted:Implants are so freakin' expensive on the GTN! Grades 7 and 8 crafting materials were drops from Operations before the first expansion.

It's button-heavy with a complicated rotation that breaks easily. Their defenses are brainless though. I like to toy with bad Juggs on my Concealment Op...they're so easy to kite.

Nerd Of Prey posted:It's tough to find boots that look properly Star Wars. Pretty much everybody in all the movies wears boots that are knee-high and relatively unadorned, and it's like you can pick one or the other in this game. The Theron Shan boots look about right, if a little bulky, so I've gotten a lot of mileage out of those things. I like the new Thexan boots too, but GTN prices are crazy. Humble Hero are the best knee-high no-gimmicks boots. They will be expensive though. I unlocked the set in Collections during the sale since I get so much mileage out of those boots.

No real balance changes, will probably be a major patch in 4-6 weeks like 1.0 and 2.0. I've got a Light and Dark 60 of every class, 300k WZ comms, 10k Basic, 8k Elite, and 6k Ultimate along with 280 million credits. Bring on the 4.0.

Stan S. Stanman posted:So far I'm pretty bored with the new method of playing this game. I'm only a few chapters in but every one of them so far felt like I was just confined to a hallway and forced to kill trash until I got to watch another cutscene. Just felt like busy work, especially given the enemies were of no challenge at all. The same three Skytroopers that can't drop your char below 98% health does get real old real fast.

If you mean the old 60 gear then yes that's gone. No reason for any of it besides looks since Bolstering gear with Expertise below 65 hurts you rather than helps.

waffledoodle posted:Try clicking around, there's a sweet spot to the top right of the title bar where you can still drag it. There's a bug in the hotspot logic that I think was always there but which I might have made worse A bit of wackiness when windows overlap, for example. trying to x out a window will move focus to the window behind it rather than closing the window on top. Can get annoying when you have a ton of overlap because you have the GTN, Collections, Preview, and Inventory screen all up.

The lvl 8 Equipment Vendor is still there as well. Edit: the mod vendors are still there as well, they just sell green mods instead of blue which will make no difference under 55.

Medullah posted:Oh yeah someone was complaining about this with the KOTFE mods. They're green, but they're 190 rating so they'll be identical to the blues thatdrop in Ziost. Kind of like how Arkanian/Black Market was rating 162 and purple, and then SoR introduced the rewards from the prelude flashpoints that were also 162 but green, and had identical stats. Totally talking out of my rear end but it seems like the intention was to make purple and blue gear actually matter again so when you get to the endgame or get a purple world drop it's actually a little special. For all of 3.0 green might as well have been gray.

Tuskin38 posted:For most of the KOTFE unique companions, their gear is part of their geometry, you can tell by previewing the gear on them, however Theron's gear is not, if you preview it is replaced. No customization for the story companions bites the big one and is an altogether strange decision when pretty princess Cartel purchases are most likely the main source of income for the game. I'm assuming it's due to engine limitations and cutscene consistency.

vanbags posted:No, I mean speccing DPS and using DPS gear, but equipping a Shield for swapping to defensive stance when shits get hairy. Or is your shield rating going to be so poo poo from the DPS gear that it won't matter that you're wearing a Focus? The main thing about switching to Tank Stance while specced DPS is that it gives you access to Guard. 50% damage reduction is huge and can single-handedly turn the tide of a close battle in a pinch. No need to swap in a shield since redirected damage can't be shielded anyways. Being specced DPS and swapping out to Tank gear and stance is definitely a strategy in Solo Ranked where matchmaking exists. I used it to great effect last season to become the third highest Ranked player in the world at one point. PT's (what I used) are much better suited for it though since they don't rely on procs the way Sins and Juggs do however. Speccing Tank while using a shield and otherwise DPS gear is viable in regs as well. Gear is cheap so experimenting is easy enough. SKY COQ posted:You have enough defensive cool downs as a Juggernaut that it shouldn't matter. If you're copping too much damage in Juyo form, suggest switching spec so that you're in Shii-Cho and doing sick burst damage instead. Rage has way less survivability than Vengeance so I'm not sure why this would be a strategy.

Medullah posted:Is anyone actually going after the post-chapter 9 content with multiple characters? I'm really trying to think of a good reason to bring my alts through, and falling short. It seems like if you've already got all your companions and Treek or HK-51, you've got 6 crafters + 1 active covered. Sure having the other companions would be cool, and eventually maybe I'll go through KOTFE with them, but I can't see doing the influence grind with the large group of other options with more than one. For right now I plan to run a Pub and Imp char to completion and at least a Dark and Light run of each class through the story content. My main raiding chars on each side are already full set bonus 224's.

I had already started augmenting crit for PVP where my AP PT regularly crits Power Cell for 20-25k now. Less DPS but I can burst a Sorc dead in 3 GCD's with a bit of luck. Wouldn't be surprised to see crit get an adjustment.

Cythereal posted:As for Valk's actual armies and whatnot... I suspect he has a Star Forge. If you complete the bonus objectives in the Foundry, it's noted that the Empire knows of the existence of three: the original Star Forge from KOTOR, the Foundry, then an unnamed third. Koth notes the Eternal Fleet came out of nowhere without warning, and that and the skytroopers sound like a Star Forge in production mode to me. The Emperor's battlestation was noted to involve Rakata and Gree tech, so there's precedent for Valk having Rakata technology. It would also make the sun generators Zakuul uses make sense, considering how the KOTOR Star Forge was powered. Going to be real disappointing if it's a Star Forge...Star Forges and Revan need to both be put out to pasture.
