1. Status effects, ie. Blind, Dizzy, Stun. These used to be absolutely awesome, blind and dizzy the bugger and even if your KD misses you're still gold because blind was really effective. Now kd/dizzy doesn't seem to do anything, and I was wondering if anybody knew a place I could read up, or give me a rundown on the point of applying status effects?

I havent played around with blind and dizzy too much so cant comment there... However, as far as KD, yeah it isnt what it use to be... What **I** do is first root with stopping shot(holds the player in their tracks), get out of their range (as a MB/MP/MM with 0-0-0-3 rifles I can use any weapon with low speed), switch to my rifle, hit em with Warning Shot (makes them more vuln to other attack), bleed em with Torso shot, follow that with Crit shot and Body shot, then (as the root is about to wear off) give em a nice taste of my Underhand shot (kd), and give em a little more of Crit and Body shot.

Very effective for me.

2. Movement / Kneeling? I've been told kneeling/prone doesn't give any accuracy modifiers like it used to. Does running give negative accuracy modifiers?

Dunno there. I dont use either

3. It used to be very simple. Fireknockdown -> spam sprayshot (or switch to pistol and spam stopping shot) until opponent is dead. The battles were high paced, and over within moments if a mistake was made. The new timers on different skills aren't whats confusing to me, its that there's so few attacks that seem to hurt my enemy. I've read and re-read all the descriptions, and tried a few different things, but I can't seem to get a gel going. If anybody could give me a few pointers just to get going in the right direction I'd be grateful.

Just got to find the right combos... It aint like it use to be where you could eyeshot their mind away with one or two shots. Battles are a little more drawn out now.

4. Health regeneration. You used to be able to get by without medic because it wouldn't take too long after fighting something to fill back up. Yesterday after a fight I was down to about 1/10th of my health and I sat there for 8 or 9 minutes waiting for it to fill back up. There is NO way to heal unless you have medic? People are saying food/spice, is that the way to go? Is it really expensive now?

Now anyone can use STIMS (not just medics). STIMS are now based on your CL level... So at CL60 you can use STIM Ds with 1100+ power. Add that in with the right foods and you're gold for most PvP/PvE... Yeah food can be expensive (damn greedy BE and Chefs ) but as a MBH you can either do very simple NPC bounties for 30k a pop or you can do PvP Jedi bounties for up to 240K + (thought the 40k - 190K would be a better choice).

I x-fer my toon from Bria to Bloodfin and lost EVERYTHING I had but my skills and badges... Within a day I was able to have 3 good guns (pistol/carbine/Rifle), full set of BE clothes, all my basic items (bots, crate of 50 stim Ds, ect), with about 190k left in the bank that I'm saving for some Ubese Armor (recon) which is the sh*t now for PvP (comp is more a PvE armor as it is more of a kinetic armor and the most dangerous players are ranged now that do energy damage).
