im currently rodian, is it worth re-rolling my whole char (master rifleman/combat medic) for a human, just for the extra 600 focus?

Well I am a former wookee and I re-rolled moncal for the extra Mind stats AND armor.....so that justified it for me....
Do you use food/drink alot? Its easier to eat a correlian ice cream treat for the extra focus than it is to retrain all your skills. if you dont use food/drink here is a short list of stuff that keeps me going......
Correlian icecream +focus(food)
rythcate +focus(food)
Ice blaster +will power(drink)
Durinfire +mind(drink)
orimachi +mind/focus/willpower(food)
breath o heaven +focus(drink)
mix n match for a fantabulous yum time!!!
muon for emergencies...ew hangover ow
Try some of these then decide on reroll...if you haven tried already i mean.....
thanks.

well rodians arent exactly the best for mind games. but the human 1100 stat across the board is a issue the devs have ignored. i am almost positive it is a bug since it came in with the second major patch of the game. i faintly remember a CSR in the game chat addressing this as a bug and the reason, if i remember right, was that it affects something else ona fundamental level and they havent figured out how to do it yet without breaking all the other races. but thats purely my fuzzy memory of a chat conversation from amny weeks ago.
i would say that sooner or later humans will revert back to their normal selves someday. but for now im using it and enjoying it

I've often wondered if a mon-calamari would make a good rifleman... Start him out as a medic/artisan to get the extra mind bonus' then have a massive mind bar...

ive been told by certain people that humans are bugged and told by many others that its how they are meant to be, just versatile.
can a human rifleman/woman with 1100 on all mind please tell me how much mind cost they get for a ss2 or hs3 unbuffed, so i can compare it vs mine.
as for training the skills, should only take a week 2nd time round, which im not too worried about.
id just rather change to human now, just after ive mastered, than wait 6 months after ive done lots of quests etc and decide i need to be human then.

2 more cents......Ive noticed when you take two food for focus"0 mind cost thing".... there is a period between the end of the buff and the emptying of your tummy where you can only fit one more food. Oh im sooo fullll! Essentially give this double focus buff a "downtime"
So I combine a focus drink with a focus food.....that way by the time the buff wears off you have enough room for one more set of drink/food focus buff and remain in a constant state of eternal free your mind gluttony.
My fat is maxed out to demonstrate my exhorbant eating habits......(note: levels of obesity may change during gameplay)

k ive decided to keep rodian for now. if in the new combat revamp they make a specials bar so my shots dont come from my mine, i will not mind rodian, however if they keep HAM costs the same then i will lose rodian and become a human

Hmm... see and I was thinking about rerolling to a Rodian because I feel like as a Zabrak, Im just another clone. Everywhere I go, its Zabrak/Humans. So Ive been wondering if the negatives to a Rodian are so bad that it would just be pointless to even try. Im not too concerned with uber, but being viable is certainly important.

Humans are bugged, all their secondary stats are way to high. Problem is the devs have shown no interest in fixing it which means the racial advantage of every other race in the game is lost.
Personally, I rolled a Rodian, I wanted to be a little different. The Rodian description says we get higher action stats asracial bonus, yet humans currently have higher secondaries and 1250 action isnt much use with buffs being as overpowered as they are. That said Im going to stay Rodian as I like to be a little different.

I must admit if I delete the current avatar and make a new one it will be a Rodian. I wanted to in the beginning, but thought that I wouldn't be allowed to join the Empire. However, I now know it doesn't matter and will put up with the penalties....
