The greatest mistake of my character is one I cannot change...


There is no 'race' forum so I thought I would post in here as this is the proffesion that showed me the light... err darkness however you want to see it...


I am really torn... I have a Master TK / Master Brawler / near Master Rifleman

I love it all... except I am Zabrak.


Originally I was told to be Trandoshan which I believe was not all that good of advice. The simple fact is that Human seems to be the only race to be for this class and any other. Someone please tell me I am wrong before I delete my character and start over.


Before you post though, let me point out the simple facts...


Master DRs are all over the place and can put a 2 hour buff on 6 of your stats for 5K.

As a human I could have VERY HIGH MAXES to my stats... 1100. So I could arrange my skills:

400.400.400 400.400.400 1100.900.1000 then get a Dr to buff me so that my stats read...

2500.2500.2500 2500.2500.2500 1100.900.1000


The crazy thing is that Master DR does not a take a preventative amount of skills to attain and 2 hours is usually all I am interested in playing at one time.


but allas I am a Zabrak so I have to contend with a 500 yes 500 max focus. We are also supposed to have insane willpower but 900 is my max. This is freakin' rediculous. I chose Zab because I believed us to have the highest regenerative mind pools when in fact Humans do.


Please do not respond to this unless you play with DR buffs. Sry for the whining but I believe this to be the games biggest flaw. Could someone please tell me that I am overlooking something... Why is it that I should NOT advise EVERYONE to be human?

Not sure what you mean by this part, given that Master Docs must have Master Medic (a whole other profession) to even BE a doc. TKM only requires one line in brawler and then TKA...

Maybe get mindbuffs too?

Dancers for the main pool and musicians for the secondary pools, they also last around 2 hours. only trouble is that they take a couple of minutes to aply.

Master DR Master TK is possible and actually a very popular template.


The correct way to play this game it seems is to be or travel with a Master DR and have all of your stats migrated over to your mind pools. So yes... Master DR does not require a _preventative_ amount of points.

They take ten minutes to apply if you want to be _sure_. The wife is a master dancer can only double one pool as opposed to buffing what can be in excess of 2500 to 6 pools and it takes her longer to apply that one. Musicians buff mind secondaries. So... master musicians and dancers are a rare thing unlike DRs. For day to day an average of 1000 to all mind pools is plenty. For that big raid then you would need to buff them anyways. And I would much rather have an average of 2K to my mind pools.


The arguments presented are not focused around all the practicalities of the situation.


Human with all points invested in Mind and DR buffs on hand is the most practical approach to any character.


I do however appreciate the effort thus far Somone PLEASE show me what I am overlooking....

I'm a twi'lek.


I have no trouble as a TKA.


I pay for buffs rather than buff myself. . . saves 140 skill points and a master doc capable of buffing is ALWAYS on.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. TKM/MB/almost Master Swords Twi-Lek.


I would rather pay the 5k for a set of buffs any day than spend all the time searching for Doc componets. It's rare I can't find on sitting in Coronet buffing people.

Personaly i think my zabrak works fine for TKA... i cant even tell ya how many times that equilibrium and vitalize saved my life... Plus I don't think the dev'sare going to leave thehuman stats the way that they are, yes i belive that they should beversital but i dont think that theyintended them to be able to out do other racesinthe areas of ham that are suppost to bethat speciesspecialty.... i think that this is somthing that is going to change in the future.



Thank You

Crud Heorot it's too bad you are not in Intrepid.


I'm master brawler/TKA/Pikeman myself.


Would love to go hunting with you.

Human stats are bugged. Zabraks should have the best willpower, used to havethe best willpowerand eventually probably will again. Humans should have a focus limit in line with other professions, used to have one, and probably will again.


Don't worry about it. Human is the best for any profession or end-game goal at this time but only because of a bug which will most likely eventually be fixed.
