I'd appreciate a little advice here. I hadn't played much throughout spring semester and then I hopped in to find out the recent patch had wiped all the skills. I wanted to play rather than spend a bunch of time studying all the builds so I just used a spec I saw in a video and got back in the action. I think it was this one: http://swtor.gamingfeeds.com/2013/04/14/swtor-jedi-knight-guardian-leveling-build-2-0/
I got my abilities all back where they were (roughly) on my quickbar and set about leveling from 39 to 40. I'm not sure if those were a bad choice of skills or if I'm using it wrong, but I always seem capable of burning through my energy in a matter of seconds with no way to consistently get it back (sundering strike feels like it's taking twice as long as it used to) and I just wind up expending all my cooldowns and twiddling my thumbs for a while until sundering strike cools down to give me energy for an attack or another ability cools off.
Is there a way to make this a bit smoother and more enjoyable for general pve play?
I went Defense spec because I figured it's fun to tank for groups here and there, and Doc can usually keep me up when soloing (which is what I do like 95% of the time). Is that just how defense spec is these days?
