what's KD? what's 15/20 second root? why would i use a carbine if I'm BH? what's sac also?



KD is knockdown... now it stinks as they can get up in 1 second

root is an attack that makes another player or npc not be able to move untill the time expires or they take damage

you would use a carbine because they have good damage per seconds or max damage

sac = special action cost... the higher the worse. it uses up your green bar below your health bar

This helped! but I still have the question as to what weapon to use? You guys mentioned a carbine but I dont have any carbineer skills. Also, I'm confused as to what specials are best to use. blind shot? knockdowns? and what is duelist stance?


Thanks!

There are no "best" anymore...each special has it's time and place to be used. You need to get to know what each one does and then match them to your play style.

just curious if this would be a big help


my current template is:


Master Rifleman

Master Carbineer

BH 4/0/0/0


I was thinking of dropping down to investigation 3 for BH and picking up master marksman, would this be smart? im not sure how much master marksman would help.

Sexy healing power. Think of it this way. You could see a significant increase in your healing power or you could give yourself 300 more health points. I'd take the healing and let somone else buff me if I had to choose.

/agree


Doc buffs (even master doc buffs) are nice, but don't REALLY do anything worth taking all the points away from your ability to heal.


if i were not so stuck on the ability to CRUSH mobs as quickly as i can with the template i posted above, i would add the healing line from doc

I have a Ques, right now I'm master defender sabers 0 4 0 4, healer 2 0 4 0 and enhanger 0 0 0 2


My ques is every time i've tuned a Crystal or Peral it's low damage. right now My saber DPS is only 331. Max saber damage is like 518. I crafted the saber as a master saberest.


So my ques is if I was to become a Master Powers Template what kind of DPS does master powers have. or what type of DPS does a 2 tree's of powers have.


Is going POwers worth it as a replcement for lightsabers? if so what kind of template would work with master Powers.


Thank You

The template that you have right now is great and I would stick with it.

I would just keep getting pearls and tunning them till you some good ones.

Ihave almost the same template that you have and I have 529 DPS saber atm.

Your only problem is the pearls. Just for reference, your base LS damage with no pearls or anything in it should be somewhere around 60dps. Powers is a problematic line, ill suited for PvE as a damage class, it works somewhat better in PvP but still not great. I'd stick with LS and just hope to get lucky on your pearl rolls.

The main problem is lightsabers overall are lackluster for damage, elemental damage getting fixed, and getting a few 100+ dmg pearls should hopefully put you where you want to be.

I am currently Master Scout/Master BE, 4444 CH, and i am looking at my template with a view of sampling higher end dna, tbh i rarely ever pull a pet out theyre too unweildly and unpredictable, at the moment i get revealed a hell of a lot even with jawa beer and mask scent clothing, i was debating respeccing with a view to a final template of master scout/master BE/master ranger, would master ranger on the template increase my ability to avoid detection or is it a waste of skill points going downt hat path?

Also if you have ANY other viable templates pplease post.

Keep those replys coming Please, problem i've woundered tho with sabers 0 4 0 4 is I've herad by many accouts no sabers 0 404 will ever beat a master saberest. I'm thinking in both pvp and pve. Anyone know the dps of master powers? or just 4 0 00 powers?



Thanks

Disregard that other thread about 0404 vs. Master. If you read deep enough, the skill points and offense that you lose in LS can be applied to other areas to make you more durable, and therefore competitive with a dabble LS template.


Powers is not viable for sustained DPS. You will never, ever, ever, ever do stuff like solo Grievous withPowers.


I've never seen, and I doubt anyone has done, an actual numerical parse of Powers DPS so you aren't going to get a straight answer there. Powers gets some cool stuff, Choke is supposed to get better, Cloak is great, Lighting is good and the state effects like AOE knockdown are awesome. Powers can do enough burst DPS for PvP, but it is force intensive and hard to keep up over time.
