Crew Skills & Boxing

[Pyro_box]

How are you guys handling the crew skills; do you only use your primary character, or have you been working multiple characters with different sets of skills.

Thus far, I have not found an efficient way to utilize my other character as both the camera and sloppy user interface getting into position to click on nodes.

Planning on setting up a new Sentinel team tonight, to give the “light” side a go and would appreciate any feedback on skills that anyone may have.

Ive handled this a few ways between groups. One group, I have each toon their own gathering, and crafting that compliment the individual character. The other group, I have just selected whatever I felt like I will need, and then whatever gathering I DONT have on the server with other toons... this way I have a full spread. Pros and Cons... really, they're pretty obvious. the lack of a central bank is a nightmare to deal with when trading stuff from one toon to another.

Short answer.. no, I do not believe there is a good way of doing it. If you run just two accounts, I would probably just setup a video feed from one and run the other, watching two maps go by... swap to the other toon, when you see something you may want.

Thanks; that is how I have been doing it, and its no fun - wish they would add the smart camera so that our alts look the same way as the main...I know so many things of greater importance still need to be worked out.

Thats really good advice! My toons just reached lvl 11 and I need to do crew skills. I'm thinking synth weaving and cybernetic for crafting. Let you all know how it goes.

i always have biochem, boinaylisis and a random gathering skill on the main toon... biochems medpacks, stims and implants are the best choice for a tank IMO. The 3rd gathering skill supports whatever armor type that toon is. and one of my alts have the armor skill. With 4 accounts, i have everything covered.

I'm going to try something similar. I think I'm going to go all gathering on the main toon and have the others cover crafting and the rest of the missions. I also have a lvl 30 shadow that can do synthweaving so I might not do that at all.

Once you get into tier 3 and tier 4 stuff the missions are a half hour long or more. I have all my guys as biochem because its value isn't linked to whatever the current max level of gear is--I always have the best stims, adrenals and medpacs available

My highest toon is only level 29 so I don't have alot of experience with crafting.

A couple of questions:
1. For "value" do you mean to you (usefulness) or are you selling what you make?
2. Are you saying that you've maxed out your biochem early (before 50) because you can make and use the best stuff at lower levels?

my warriors are all bio as well.. my toon i leveled solo to 48 made them all the purple reusable medpacks to last though lvl 40 or so. love it! I might do the same for my sorcs. even though they can heal.. the free heal saves power 8)
