I dont have that much of a problem in PvP. There is however one change to Assassin that I'd like very much, is to remove the force cost upon changing charges. 50 force seems a bit to much. I play deception, and there are PvP aswell as PvE situations that you want to switch to Dark charge fast. Other than that I cannot complain. The powertechs that OP is refering to do not have vanish and force shroud. We always choose our fights.

Deception is not about Maul spam. You should only use Maul with EW procc, and it has a 10 second "hidden" cooldown. Otherwise it is not worth it.

Special attacks have 10% higher hit chance than the melee tabb suggest, wich you will see if you hover your mouse over it. I have 101% accuracy, but special attacks have 111% accuracy... I never miss anything, just a few glancing blows. It's probably way to much, I got it this high beacuse I wanted the crit enhancements and my surge raiting was getting heavy DR.

Lol this have happend me perhaps three times total, I guess you dont let the animation finish? I've been level 50 awhile.

You sure about this? Because if someone where at 0.8% HP left, would it display a 0% HP bar? AFAIK it only shows 0% when target is dead.

Im running Deception with Khem Val and I had no trouble at all leveling to 39. However, I just got Ashara and equipped her nicley. But seriously she suck, she seems to do less dmg than Khem with worse gear and she aint a tank. And I dont get to use exploit weakness... Switched back to Khem and back on track. Been easy leveling so far, if Khem is getting low on hp I just switch to Dark charge and taunt/aoe taunt. I also have his taunt off by default cause of this. A good idea when facing hard situations is to turn off your companions AoE/Cleave abilities and use your CCs. People say it gets easier when we get the healing companion, will see about that. I think I died ONCE so far while questing, and I was really surprised. I usually dont even bother looking at my hp bar lol.

Hey gus, What about Space Combat PvP? I'd love it. It would obviously not work with the arcade gameplay that missions have, but something like Star Fox if you ever played that on the nintendo. Missions where arcade, but in PvP arenas you had full control to navigate your ship.
