It's been over a month since the official release of SWTOR, so I figured I'd post some random thoughts, hehe.

Got a DPS set together and tried out Infiltration in PvP. Result: Lots of burst, but squishy as hell. Best combo would be to pop an adrenal, open up with Spinning Kick, CS x2, Potency for Project and Breach, repeat. Shadow Strike *only* when Find Weakness is up (I can't tell you how many Shadows/Assassins open up with it...). Also, Spinning Strike and Low Slash when necessary.

I have never seen Clairvoyant Strike's animation until I respec'd. Wonder what the other Shadows are spec'd as... Though, to be fair, our server's Republic population is pretty low; not a lot of people are lvl 40+...

Getting used to healing as my Scoundrel in warzones now. I'm like a Resto druid that can kill people~! If dual spec was available, I'd try Scrapper. (The nerfs that are currently on the PTR are uncalled for. Yeah, I said it.)

RvR Huttball is the *best*. Especially when guildies are on opposite teams and we talk smack to each other on Vent, ha. (Wow, when was the last time I used Vent? 6-7 years ago?)

The Corellia mods vendor doesn't have any tanking mods, hnnngh.

Oh the irony of Shadow tanks. Has the highest base shield chance due to Kinetic Ward. Has the best AoE threat generation. Can't migitate damage from large groups because KW charges will run out before the CD's up. Derp.

I also hit lvl 50 a few days ago! I'm currently working on finishing my class missions to get started on Ilum dailies.

Oh, and Belsavis dailies. Those too.

I'm having a blast playing SWTOR!

My Shadow is currently in her low 40s, occasionally grouping up with Chris' Scoundrel and Joshua's Commando. We've been able to three-man all of the flashpoints so far (Colicoid War Games is my favorite) with a healing companion to fill the 4th slot. (You have to use CC in flashpoints! It's like WoW BC, except better!)

As for builds, I'm currently going for 27/0/14 for both PvE and PvP. (I was thinking of going 23/0/18 before, but I'll try out Harnessed Shadows. And I still keep Force in Balance, heh.)

For alts, I'm leveling a healing Scoundrel and Vanguard tank. (Will make Empire characters eventually. On a different server.) Love the Smuggler's story so far: it's fun (much more interesting than Consular's, IMO), you get to meet crazy-awesome characters, and Corso's just adorable. :3

. . .

Also: where's my Mass Effect 3 demo, BioWare?

I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday and New Year, yes?

Visited the family in California on the weekend before Christmas. Figured out why my lil' cousin hasn't been playing WoW lately: got addicted to Minecraft, ha. Aside from the family drama, it was fun.

Was supposed to go back to work on the 28th... But then I suddenly sprained my neck. Holy crap, was it painful; I could barely turn my head, ugh...

Went to the doctor, got prescriptions for muscle relaxants and pain killers, and was knocked out for a week.

Well, at least it gave me some extra free time to play SWTOR, eh-heh.

By New Years Day my neck started to feel a lot better. Had a barbeque. Learned how to make chicken alfredo. Note to self: less cheese next time.

. . .

Also, I totally forgot that it's the Year of the Dragon? I'm going to turn 24 this year? ...Man.
