Hi again. Another question - I read that it was a blue pvp set for lvl 50 in coruscant. im currently 46 and thougt i get that first, in order to get some expertise, the bag thing seems to take a lot of grind.

Now i read that the blue set have been removed. Then i read on a forum that you could go to the pvp weapon vendor instead, buy a weapon with a expertise module on it, strip it, and insert it in another weapon/gear. Anybody tried this? and where is the vendor for pvp weapons? cant find him/her..

For pvp, do you think it would it be worth picking up some defence rating instead of the similar value in crit for a sith sorcerer? Im healing dps hybrid and get focused a lot.

In the Fleet by the daily terminal, there are two NPCs. One sells Bags and the other sells weapons. The Weapons are level 44? so you can use the Mod and Enhancement slots for your gear (the hilt is only for weapons). That is the only way I have seen to get expertise pre-50.

tnks, il go for the 46 lvl weapons and strip them, cant find any information from wich mods/ench/hilt the expertise comes from when i google the weapons. if its in the hilt, its kind of useless..but ench and mods would be great, il put them in the lvl 40 gear and buy better mods on ah for the other slots. this way, the only thing that wont be so good will be the Armor and expertise (25 on the 46 lvl items), so probably will start with an ok gear when i hit 50.

does anyone know if parasitism is affected by haunting presence?
and does force lightning proc parasitism?

frmorrison · 02-03-2012, 04:42 AM

Yes, the +healing talents like haunting presence affect Death Field and Parasitism healing (or at least did in Beta).

FL will not proc Parasitism because FL is a Channeled spell, not a DoT.

My FL does not eat Deathmark charges either. FL is not a DoT as classified by the game client.

Hi,

i tried many different PvP builds and spent many credits for respeccing again and again and again. Playing range DPS Classes in MMO's since over 10 years i finally think the strongest damage build currently is 0/13/28, followed by 3/7/31. My focus on stats is also Power / Surge. Like Kor said, there are only little mods or items with this stats, so i got crit / surge mods from champion gloves / head an put them in those other items. Also, for the other slot, the champion feet has one good mod with power (45 WP / 34 Power). The battlemaster set has so much alacrity, sadly it's not so much better then champions gear.

Those champion head piece from Vanguards gear seems to have high power / surge stats, if i remember well. The problem is that you cant trade valor items from other classes directly 1:1 against an "empty" item from the PvP bag. But if you buy them with champions commendations, this could work. I am currently valor rang 70 and got ~100 champion commendations, so i will try to buy those Vanguard head, extract the mod and put it into my item.

13/28 models as the highest dps and seems that way in practice. However, I think I should swap to 17/24 (to get Bindings, Force speed cooldown, and more force saved) which means I can use Chain Lightning more, but lose 1 second on CD and 30% crit bonus on DoTs/Death Field. On the PvE spreadsheet, 17/24 models as 1% dps loss from 13/28 but then you don't need to worry about Force and I get to have a two more PvP talents.

e: Note this is to reach a happy medium between PvE and PvP, since I don't like to respec.
I know if you wait a week without respecing it resets the cost to 0.
