How fitting that EC is the last raid for 6.0 with Masters of Terror. I am not signing up, but I wanted to comment on this 

Last raid of 6.0! Lets make the most of it before the raid becomes harder with worse gear for a bit of time.

Welp, this is our second to last raid in 6.0 on VM Revan, lets make it count!

Until we clear it, it seems appropriate. Can also be a reference to the bet between the walker pilots!

true

Guessing this is the new name of the team for a bit?

Two things: 1) I will take that under strong advisement, never ocured to me to switch to a different spec, and 2) YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

That was still Arsenal Merc but i did it! I'm so happy!

 

Glad to see you hit the threshold, keep working at the class and DPS should rise. If you are really wanting to push through and get extremely good at Arsenal, just work on adjusting the gear a bit and such like I did, even though I have had Apex Predator since January this year... I worked and brought my Commando to my progression team, slowly got better at it while doing a decent chunk of PVP on him and my 2 Arsenal Mercs. It got to the point where that was the class I would bring to hardmare raiding, and get somewhat decent damage for me rDPS (rDPS is not my strong suit. I am a mDPS main through and through).

Arsenal does tend to meld better with the Apex Predator set piece than it does with CF, mainly because Apex Predator (4) set piece boost the crit chance on your next tracer missle up to 5 times (it falls off at 6 stacks) along with the (6) set piece helping with energy management. There is also the fact that Arsenal does tend to perform worse on the dummy compared to other even with AP. On the Parsely leaderboards, the highest Arsenal Merc/Gunnery Mando parse was 23.9k while the highest IO Merc/AS Mando parse is 25k. If you are running CF I would recommend swapping to IO mainly cause the CF set piece works with IO Merc much better than it does with Arsenal.

And I have not seen any site that has a complete breakdown of what mod/enhancements are best for each spec, but I believe the Theorycrafter's discord does explain the stuff well.

Happy holidays to you as well, it may very well be the mods right now but could also be the amplifiers (IDK why the amps would play soo much into the parses), and maybe the enhancements as well. The enhancements and the mods having a higher endurance stat may be hurting the parse mainly, and could push you above 15k if modified to better ones.

For enhancements you'll want to look for Adept ones for critical, Initiative ones for Accuracy and Nimble ones for Alacrity since they offer the highest power out of any ones. Unlettered and Unnumbered Lethal Mods are the easiest mods to get (so I would not recommend trying to get the R-2s, R-3s, R-5s that the wonderful guide that Jae wrote recommends since you only have a month until getting to do the gear grind all over again). Having higher power for parsing is better since it is uncapped.

GAAARAG! With a crit adrenal only 13.9K. I suck. Well, i wonder if it's the all-blue augments . . . 

Could it be the amount of power/crit/alacrity/accuracy you have in your gear? I doubt the blue augments are causing the issues, and if you are focusing on the rotation that should be fine as well.

Last progression op of 6.0! Lets make it count, and get some good 3rd floor prog (or actually, um make it 3rd floor) 

Nevermind, the twats at Bioware decided to delay LoTS until February. We need to clear by February!

Well, I won't be participating in this event ever because I am working during those times, but good luck with the event (and also good luck to your son with his wrestling season. Hopefully everything goes swell!)

mDPS. I know I don't sign up for these events much, but I got to try to stay in the top ten with the Conquest Contest.

Alright. Update on my Operative. He is a level 75, dinged it around 3:15pm (so that is around I would estimate 16 hours from 1-75)

If I have my operative up to 75 by 8pm tomorrow, I will bring him to the raid (He will be a Lethality Operative so no rolly cleanses)

I can come tonight, but will happily step out for a trial member. I can do any role, but if we do MMs, I can tank for ya.

Take me off this list. I am already sore from my new job, and would much rather sleep instead raid

I wish the best of luck @Merliah (even though I will most likely be up for 30 minutes after the raid starts)

Another week, another stupid way I manage to die 

Finally I can come Mother Russia raids! mDPS, got to bring that Vanguard I showed you on last Wednesday.

I can come halfway through the op if you desperately need someone. mDPS as usual, IF needed

My job does not give a care in the world about Mother Russia, so I guess I will be stuck watching like a pleb

I can make my ranged DPS debut if you’ve got space for more  

I can mDPS as well, I need to see Eskili do this!

I can come for the second EV that you guys may do (I'll be home around 9:50 at the latest).

DPS as usual

I'll bring the mDPS that nukes themselves cause they take threat from the boss 

I'll try to not make friends with the bosses.

I need more conquest for my PT, I would be at least 45 minutes late though.
