Yeah, after a gazillion years. Of course, I immediately used it to make my mage look like this. Because it makes me laugh. I have gotten a delightful number of "you ... dressed like that on purpose?" reactions. That's an awesome outfit. Most of mine would be simple and stylish low-level pieces. Why, thank you! I was particularly pleased when I found pink pants for it. MOST of my characters go the simple route (like my paladin boy rocking his tempered saronite. Look how small the shoulders are!), but something about my mage makes me dress him as loudly as possible. I think it's because there is so much goofy cloth in the game. I suspect my Manquisitor will give me the same compulsion, although the Sith outfits seem to come mostly in black or red, THE END. My pink twi'lek yearns for purple and blue!

You can't die (sp? as in "change the colour of") armor, or can you ? Or are there different coloured schemes for one and the same armor piece ?

Dye, and no, I don't think there's any dye in the game, alas. I suspect there are a couple versions of the same "set" color-wise, but like death knight armor must all be SKULLS SKULLS SKULLS, I suspect sith armor must be black, red, or if you're sassy, grey.

I thought my Inquisitor had something in a dark green from a quest reward, but I could be mistaken. That was pre level 10 though, so maybe you have to earn your black and red.

My inquisitor hit level ... something in the teens. He was in black and red and grey throughout. And let me tell you, the red really did not suit his pink-ness if you asked me.

It drives me crazy that there's no tooltip to compare mods equipped. I end up stripping down and putting my modding armour/weapons in my inventory so I can at least have both windows open at the same time.

I don't know what you mean..when I compare stuff, the tooltips show the full stats and mod slot stats as well. May not show the 'name' of the mod, but it gives me color (green/blue/purp) of the mod and the numbers.

When you just have a mod, such as the ones purchased with commendations, it doesn't compare them with currently equipped ones.

So just memorize (or maybe write down?) the stats of the mod you have in question and hover your mouse over your equipped stuff.

Best way to do this is bring up the vendor screen and your characters screen. Look at one mod and then hover over your gear and compare. The problem here is that you can't use a tooltip because Mods can be used in every piece of gear. You don't want the mod to be compared to 8 pieces of gear at once on your screen. EDIT: OH! There is an option in preferences to see Detailed Tooltips or something along those lines. That might be your problem. You might not be able to see the mods individually and this will help you tremendously.

WoW doesn't even do this when it comes to gems and slotting.

I also have detailed tooltips turned on :( I'll just keep stripping down in front of vendors!

Incorrect. - Open the vendor window. - Close your inventory window. - Open your character window. - Profit. Seriously, I will make a YouTube video of this when I get home if I need to, but mark my words....

Yeah, closing the window you don't want/need usually allows to manually open another window you want, and it'll go into the free space, generally. The one thing that drives me bonkers is how the item preview window places itself neatly over the "next page" button in the AH interface, and cannot be moved anywhere.

So, getting into my 20s, I'm noticing I only care about my class based primary stat, endurance, and armour/dps rating.
Is that all there is to gear in this game or do procs or other effects only come in later? I mean, I know they are aiming for even more bland than wow, but this seems a bit silly?

Like WoW, there are a few 'special' stats that you'll start to see more and more of later in life. Stuff like Power, Crit, Alacrity, Surge, and a couple others. Regardless, your primary stat is still supreme, and should be stacked like cheddar.
