Keep in mind that some people are so prude as to make polygons land you in jail. Those people would be the US police if they believe polygons are representing underage pornography.

Leaderboard: Tanks vs. healers

As most here have stated. Without a scenario there is no knowing which is better.

However for me, I tend to pick healer. Because if you gear correctly, you can alternate to damage with little effort. Also there are many situations in which a tank is not strictly necessary (PvP is one common enough). But I will go ahead and say most encounters are going to deal damage that would be best if healed before fatal.

So if you enjoy playing a healer or tank, this isn't the game for you?

If you make an alt, I highly recommend keeping your rested XP charged. If you arent concerned with leveling them up as fast (in calendar days) as possible if you are willing to do your space missions daily, pvp daily, and keep your rested xp high you will end up overleveling your planets by a bit. Which means if you get to a planet your not fond of you can almost skip it just by doing your class quests. I did this to skip Tatooine on my alt as it was just a giant pile of driving forever for my main.

Its true, I mean if only there was already a well known and established PC digital distribution platform that consumers trusted.

In a fairy-tale world I guess.

Behind the Mask: The real state of the game

A note on energy builders, if you despise them so much you can make a spec that simply does not require them. However if you decide you'd rather SS non-energy stats then part of the tradeoff is that you will occasionally be relegated to spamming low damage attacks until your energy is back.

Did you really think that SS Con and having 15000 hp was coming at no opportunity cost?

Part of giving players the freedom to choose everything is that you do give them the freedom to fail. In whatever sense of the word you wish to use it. Maybe not having the highest burst dps is failing, or generating enough aggro, or maybe having to occasionally use energy builders is failing.

Yea, at this point, if EA wants to show up to the party, they need to bring cake and cookies. And beer. Possibly headache medicine.

I do not like having steam installed on my system. It wastes resources. I have zero interest "Steam-Also" to waste more resources and access a minuscule library.

As far as I can tell Origin is EAs way of phasing out PC support after they say PC doesn't sell games after they stop offering items on Steam.
