It seems that Karen Traviss is a bit controversial. I love BH's and Mandalorians but Karen went a different direction. Read here http://www.askajedi.com/2011/05/11/the-mandalorian-mistake/ and it will explain why.

No offense Caelrie but I had to point this out. It is Mon Mothma, Mothra is a giant winged Moth that fights Godzilla. Though this is not meant as a word police thing, it really made laugh, so I wanted others including yourself to get a chuckle out it.

Thanks Kitru and Sewerus for the info. This is an interesting thread even though I really do not have a Shadow tank.

Kitru, I have a friend who is going Shadow tank and she is new to the game. What are the soft caps and what can I tell her to start stacking as she gets them? Def first, or shield/absorb? She is only level 7 now but we plan on running together and need a plan to help her as she levels up until she has a better idea of what to do. Last time I played Shadow was in beta.

^ This. Loved it. Thought OP made a point, though. Every game has issues.

If I am about ready to die with a sliver of health and three people on me and you (tank, sage, slinger, scoundrel, etc.) are the only around I WILL pass it to you. I figure you are smart enough to mezz/stun and run then try to pass it when you can. I have a low level sorc as an alt (26) and I find that if I can get in position and bubble and speed boost at the right time before the fire hits I can do good at scoring, YMMV.

A number of people liked the agent story. Some liked the Sith Inquisitor and others hated it, same with Consular. I played trooper to 34 and got past the chapter 1. I liked the story and it had a few twists that where cool. Try them and find out. Edit: I also did BH, but stopped because that is my main in live. I loved the BH story, it was just cool to go after bounties. Did consular to like 24 as well, liked the story but I have heard others do not so, take it or leave it.
