K, if i remember correctly we did have a list of what gives vis, but that was pre-cu, and the rate vis is given seems to haverocketed. I have heard rumours that saber throw doesnt give vis, so in theory you could all throw sabers and not get on terminal. Anyone tested this?

Even if it was true (which i doubt it) youll still have to heal etc ! Ull get vis one way or another.

And how long before your group realises what you are doing and kicks you out unless you're the group leader in which case they leave your group foryou not contributing....even your fellow guildies wouldn't appreciate it matie.
Technically its a nice idea tho

Fortunately jugs im in a guild that doesnt mind and always tries to help 
Edit: Oops and to answer post above that isnt technically right, equiping saber/robes cause vis and dont take force, also tuning a crystal takes force and doesnt give vis (aparentley)

The vis system is still the same. You wonder how its being done with saber throw and no VIS? easy...
3-4 good ranged people(carbs and rifleman).
Non-auto aggro mobs.
you stand at the lair as they pull away from you. They are 45-63m out. At 25m from you, get one saber toss in. As the ranged group will still be doing more damage, the crature will go for them almost everytime. you'll hit the creature at about 33m or so (out of 32m vis range) then they finish it off. It has been tested and works.
Ancient Kryat secret? force hit is ranged attack at padawan. good for 30m as well, so WHO NEEDS SABER THROW?

When did equiping your sabre cost force?
You dont use force for putting robes on either. Your force bar doesnt go down but the max goes up which is why it appears lower until it gets a chance to add on the +350 bonus that robes give you.
Saber throw = visibility as it costs force. If you can do a 32m with loyal guildees and it works then good luck. I'd be prepared for people getting to close every so often though for example when they run from a critter because they have low health.
Tuning crystals uses force and does give visibility. Do it in your house away from vendors and npc's etc.

I didnt say it costs force to equip robes/saber, I said it doesnt cost force but still gives vis meaning its not just your force bar going down that gives vis

you get a vis when ANYone gets within 32m of you when you have your LS out or using powers
