Is it me or does someone with 900/500/900 mind stats deserve to get more than5-6 t21 headshot3s off before being 100% out of mind? Only way i can use my t21 in pve is with uber spices :/

use headshot1 or 2 for PvE

Headshot3 is in my opinium a PvP only thing.

if your gonna fight for a long time headshot3 is suicide, its only good if the extra damage is needed for that little extra to able to incapp someone with the first shot.

Again, Ive said this about 10 times, maybe I should make a thread. Next major patch, Weapon Smiths will be able to reduce HAM costs with experimenting. So it will be next to nothing.

hams wont be next to nothing, but they will be close to the base hams of the weapon, whatever that may be, i dont craft so i dont know how much stocks and scopes add to ham

Ok, you dont udnerstand then, with Experimenting,(master weaponsmiths) coming from a Master Weaponsmith. He can do 80+ percent boost. Thats bringing a rifle with 50 Ham Cost down to 10 or less. Thats close to nothing.

A 10ham t21 weapon would make my day.

T21 alone would make my day.

I'm not buying a T21 rifle until that patch comes, don't want to run out of mind pool in 5 shots.

Riflemen, this is NOT how reduction of HAM costs work in weaponsmithing. As with armorsmithing, reduction of HAM costs by masters results in negligible reductions, and certainly not to the tune of 80%. That's what all the weaponsmiths on Bria have said. All elite professions drop HAM like crazy and that won't change for us. The solutionis simple.

1) take novice artisan and manufacture Spiced Tea, increasing Focus and therefore decreasing the Mind Pool drain of weapons. Other buffs/drugs can be purchased, but why bother? (you will have to purchase or forage for water however, but scout is another good subclass to take)

2) play a zabrak and once your mind pool is dropped, use your stat redistribution ability

3) do what I do, playing a high mind species and going 800health 800Action, minimum H+A regen costs, and near maximum mind values.

Even so, I run out fairly quickly with my laser rifle, but frankly if I'm shooting something that many times with that many special shots with my laser rifle and it's still alive... it should have killed me already. The only things that don't make it are those **edit** little jaxes. Poor bastards.

That is so ridiculously unbalancing that it's not even funny... that and the slicing bug fix makes this stuff all just a joke.
