Anyone playing SWTOR?  I've only had it for a few days but I think I'm hooked.  lol 

I'm working on getting my T9 set for tanking.  Mainly so I can get in on a heroics quickly instead of waiting in line.  Tanks get the breaks I hear.  Anyway, I'm looking for good tanking / dps builds that some of you might be currently using to help me out.  I've visited many websites on the topic and the latest is from "dominate your server" on a frost build as the best DPS as of patch 3.3 if you have best gear in slot.

If you can please post your build and possibly even your skill rotations you use.

Thanks!

Here is the mount macro I'm using in Wow right now:

/castrandom [nomounted, flyable] Onyx Netherwing Drake, Cobalt Netherwing Drake, Veridian Netherwing Drake, Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade
/dismount

It can easily be enhanced to use your flying mounts where available and your ground mounts if you are in pre-BC.  You could also set it up so it will not dismount if you accidentally hit the mount button while you are in mid-flight.  This killed me more than once.  lol

Enjoy!

Wolvey and I just created a pair of Death Knights on Twisting Nether.  I'm going to lvl up as fast as time will allow...because I want my DK to pown!!!

I gave in.  After months of being able to stay away I renewed my wow account for 3 months.  I've come to the conclusion that no other game will fill the need like wow.  I'm no longer on-call and I've been working for my new boss for almost a year already.  Chel is going back to school for her masters so I'll have LOTS of time on my hands in the evenings.    Hope to see some of you out there!

I'm using 9.  Yep, I'll look at Version 11 then.  You can't beat the price for a backup solution.

Thanks Boom!

I have another new D/W template I've been trying out.  Instead of Lyssa it uses Balthazar.  The difference in this build is I am only use two attack skills.  I've been able to run out from Miles? in SW Istan, and clean house on everything but those rock bugs that come up out of the sand.  Everything else (lvls 14-17) I've been able to wipe out completely without anyone else in my party. 

In Balthazar form I move 33% faster, I use a skill that makes me attack 33% faster, and I use my last skill, an attack, that combos damage because it removes all enchantments on me...and for each enchantment the damage stacks.  The best part, the enchantments I'm using, when removed, give me energy back, so I've finally found a build that seems to be working...even better than my Lyssa build above.

Using it, and farming in Miles? SW of Istan, I make around 7 or 8 plat last night.  It's SOOOO much more profitable when you don't take a healer along with you. 

The biggest draw back to the Lyssa build is that it takes a lot of damage. 

The big problem for this build is hexes.  If I get hexed, or a skill is interrupted, it causes some problems.

I had to remove my other videos and images due to space, but I have uploaded 2 new videos.

I have a template where I use Avatar of Lyssa, and instead of attacking with my weapon, I use enchantments.  It's close quarters combat, but I pack a bigger punch.

They are only LVL 13 and LVL 14s, but check this out:

Pretty cool there Z!  We have to hook up and start running through the NightFall mainland and see how far we can get!

I'll be there around 6pm.  Time to break out my profiler software and setup COD4 with my sidewinder.  I tried it out last night with my N-52 and was a worm feast.  Time to go back to basics.  If you are a flyer, don't fight it. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

I signed up today.  Will be good to see you guys again.  I better start practicing...he he.  I've been thinking of holding off on Wow for a while as well.  Just haven't been playing it that much.
