The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Thanks for the info, Ultimate and Neph. I now have 18k HP at level 53. Not too bad.

Btw, just finished the inquisitor storyline. God, you really destroy and humiliate Thanaton. Nox is a powerhouse.

It was more cathartic than any KotoOR ending really. Guy had stomped and trolled you so much and you went to hell and back to acquire the power and when you do, he's pwnt.

The only victory more satisfying is against Tarro Blood as a BH. What a fvcking cock. Its been a long time since someones been that wonderfully irritating to me in a game.

I HATED Tarro Blood so, so much. I share your emotions. It had been a really long time since I'd been that irritated by a villain in a game. I don't even remember who came before Tarro.

But, Thanaton is a close second. He's also hateable. And damn, Nox not only defeated him, he curbstomped him. He literally made him bow down and knee like he was his *****, after casually deflecting his lightning, TKing him against a wall and stopping his lightsaber slash with a lift of his hand. Serious ownage. It makes me see Nox in a new light: he's now undoubtedly one of the most powerful in my book.

It really is probably THE most thorough and humiliating curbstomp in the mythos. I don't think I've ever seen some lose that badly in SW.

Better:

Never seen someone as powerful as Thanaton lose that badly.

That is actually some pretty decent HP. I assume you're going DPS, in which case, yeah that's not bad at all. Usually the average for 55, when starting to gear up is about 20-22k-ish for DPS characters. Then it generally just goes up from there as your gear gets better and better through HMs and Ops.

Agent ending was one beautiful mindfvck. I mean I was enjoying it all then they throw that ending at you and you're like.. WHAT THE FVCK. Makes you look back at the few planets before it and see situations in a totally different way due to the serious bombshell they drop.

Haven't played Agent. Was thinking of doing so in the double XP week(end), but was just too immersed in the Inquisitor story. Might start one up this week, everyone keeps telling me it's the best. Was also thinking of making a Trooper. x2 XP was ridiculous, btw. I played about 3 hours a day on average and I leveled from 39 to 52.

And, yeah? I wasn't sure if that was great HP, mainly because I haven't geared up as high as I can (lack of credits). I am a DPS. Currently, I have about 4 sets of 156 grade gear equipped, and the rest is divided in grade 126 and 140 gear. So, I can go higher when I acquire more credits. I just bought the gr156 mods in the GTN.

It's not bad at all. You certainly won't get called out on it by elitist pricks, that's for sure.

How much are those 156-geared mods costing on the GTN, roughly?

No less than 50k, and no more than 65k, if I recall correctly.

Daaamn, that's not too bad. Still, considering we're talking like 3 things per piece of moddable orange gear, that can rack up pretty fast. It took me a ton to gear HK the other week. I'm still trying to claw back my credits from that money downpour.

Yeah, it's about 160k of money on mods a piece, and that's I think 7 sets of armour you use. So, 160k x 7 = 1,120m. It's quite a lot.

lol, I just had the most awkward handshake with my boss.

I'm working on my Agent playthrough now, halfway or so through Dromund Kaas. Already I like it a lot. Very different from the usual playthru of Force user, and the Keeper is well acted. Jadus is a crazy SOB though.

That's rough but doable. It took me a week and a generous donation from a friend to muscle up 2 mil just for my Ragnos robes, and I got Makeb mods (58 I believe) on the Imp Fleet for all of them so that took another two days of earning planetary commendations.

I have yet to do the DLC planets, but I'm kind of waiting until my buddy gets his Madness spec'd SI up to level 50. He's on Voss atm.

Makeb is ok. The best thing about the Imp side is that you get to lead your own squad and theres a feeling of being in authority thats really nice and feels earned.

Oricon is ballsout hard. And I didn't get too far in it since after the initial quests it starts getting into Heroics that I can't solo (and I never group with ANYONE).

Having authority is nice. SI should at least get some optional side quests to you know, act like you are on the Dark Council. Even some extra insider codex entries would be nice. People don't cower enough to me like they should.

Ilum is rough for mid-tier geared level 50s, so I can only imagine Oricon starts chucking Infernal Ones around like confetti.

Makeb was meh.
Oricon isn't too bad. I mean, it's hard, but then it has to be. It's THE End-game planet right now.

As for credits, it's not too bad when you get a good geared 55. Can run them all reasonably quickly and get a bucketload of credits. Do that for a straight week and you're good to burn credits for a little while before doing it all over again.

Especially since there are so many of them now!

Makeb, SecX, Black Hole, Ilum, Czerka, Oricon.

Any word on how those other places are? Also, I haven't done any level 50 flashpoints yet. I am bummed.

There are other places?
