Looking for some help on builds. In general for sure but right now I am looking for Smuggler. So what stats am I looking for. I know I need Aim. But what about Cunning? Seems like I could use it but not sure.

I know for that OTHER game there are tons of resources telling you what specs you want on your gear and what you want to max out and at what level are you capped say for Crit and such but I haven’t found that yet for SW. I know it is still very early on and frankly any “upgrade” gear I get is probably fine and stats don’t matter all that much yet but it would be nice to know what all the stats mean.

Anyway is there a good site/list etc out there?

they adept the whole one primary stats on all gear + one endurance which every piece of gear have from wow, since all wow gears contain stamina.

so for each class you can just focus on one primary stats because that stat will boost pretty much everything you do.

pass 35+, almost all the gears will contain secondary stats, like crit/alacrity/surge.

Crit = increase chance
Alacrity = reduce cast time(haste)
Surge = Increase Crit damage.

There are also like shield block, defense, power etc etc as well. but focusing on primary stat is always good.

As a smuggler you want cunning over everything else. Aim will give a tiny boost to range damage but it is intended for Troopers.

Try this one. Also I discovered there is actually a manual online. Here’s the official stats page. It’s missing stuff though. Like I have equipment that increases “Defense Rating.” What is that? Does that include tech damage and force damage or just melee and firing damage? I can’t tell from reading the page.

Good finds-- thanks.

See this is what confused me-

Aim Increases your aptitude with ranged weapons.
Cunning Increases your aptitude with technological abilities.

This from the official so I am thinking, oh I need Aim- but then when you see the nonofficial site then you get a better description of Cunning:

Cunning: This stat affects your abilities when using tech. This stat modifies your ranged damaged, ranged critical chance, your tech damage and your tech critical chance. This is the primary stat for Smugglers and Imperial Agents.

Definitely saving these links-and for others, these links cover all classes. Good stuff.

Every west coast server but ours is “light”? Or did they introduce some new ones?

EDIT: They must have added new ones. I didn’t scroll down enough to see all the other queues.

5087

We’ve actually been doing relatively well compared to where we were during Early Access. During Early Access we were consistently the second to the most crowded server (as measured by queue length). The worst was “The Swiftsure” which at one point had queues twice as long as ours.

As of this morning around 8am PST there were some 70 odd servers (including a mix of EST and PST servers) which were full and we were not. In fact we weren’t even “Very Heavy” we were only “Heavy”. So I’m hoping that means they added some hardware to “The Harbringer” because of its population.

Since rumor has it we’re the unofficial Oceanic server, I do wonder if the population will collapse when the real Oceanic servers come online in March.

If you send them to sell junk, you do get points for sure. I think you may also on other sorts of missions. If you want to dodge points, summon a different companion. The ship droid is notably indifferent to whatever you do.

For those of you still at work wondering how the server is doing, currently only a 20 minute queue. Not too bad, although I assume it will get longer as the evening progresses.

I wish Bioware had estimated queue times on the server status page.

I’d like to remove C2-N2’s vocabulator.

You are a bad person and you should feel bad.

5092

After he changed all those seat cushions and freshened the air for you with nectar? For shame. I will say he’s got the C3PO annoying whining tone down just right.

5093

600 person queue, will see how long it takes.

ETA is 40 minutes, but in the head start, their ETAs were VERY conservative.

5094

I wouldn’t mind start a new character with some of the qt3 people.

but the guilds on harbringer server is totally out of question, the queue is way too long.

5095

So did the whole system crash? There are no servers listed, no system alerts, nada.

Sigh, and steam is having issues getting postal 3 out. Just not a good day.

5096

They found at you were bad mouthing Bioware and blocked your IP number.

On a more serious note, I can see all the servers they all look fine. So it looks like it really is you.

5097

That figures, they c#ckblocked my early access for two days too. Revolutionaries are often persecuted.

5098

They defunded the servers in order to pay for the UI.

seriously though, i am waiting in queue right now and everything seems fine. I will see 30 minutes from now when i estimate i will get in at this rate.

5099

Well they are “the man” so that’s their job. Anyway, not sure if you saw my updated post for non-snark in addition to snark, but I can see all the servers, so it looks like something is wrong on your side.

This is what I’ve been doing as well. I suspect that it’s bugged where you shouldn’t be able to open lockboxes above your level. Ultimately, slicing in it’s current form is by far the fastest way to make money. I have a monopoly on
