Has anybody tried doing this.? Currently champion level gear has 51 level mods in them. Has anyone tried the high level 56 PVE gear mods in PvP pieces?

You're not incorrect about the role of our dos spec, but a Shadow Kinetic tank is essentially wearing close to heavy armor with the additional 150% armor from combat stance and 30% armor (180% total) from the kinetic talent. In my "light" armor I sit around 6400 armor. We CAN maintank. Anyone who says otherwise isn't playing the spec properly.

Greetings All, It seems this has been a hot issue for the past couple of weeks. If this system is "being looked at" for balancing I propose and idea for the melting pot. A good amount of people feel that the drop rates in the Champion bags are lackluster, but after a month or so of testing, a lot of us can see, the drop rates aren't so bad; however, it's in the duplicates that the problem lies. A system where duplicate champion, or BM gear could be traded in (with diminishing returns) for a lesser amount of champion commendations or battlemaster commendations, respectively. In doing so, would give players such as myself, and those who have more problems with this (10 duplicate pieces, or extreme cases). For example, (hypothetically) a chest piece costs 60 champion comms. I trade in the duplicate token for, say maybe 20 tokens. Therefore after 3 duplicate pieces or so, I could get that piece I've been grinding for weeks, several months in extreme cases. ------------------------------------------------------------ P.S. My intentions are to open a mature discussion about this topic. I'd like to know who agree's that this or a similar system would be wanted in the community. If you disagree, tell me why.

+1111111111111111 I SUPPORT THIS! Pretty please? Incentivize open world pvp and it will flourish. Perhaps making the "win 3 WZs" an option OR kill x amount of people of the same level as you as an alternative.

Assuming you are iniltration: 1st. - remove mind crush from your toolbar. Your highest damaging abilities are all 'proc' based. So opening with project is a waste of force. For a 2/31/8, or 33/8 or such my rotation is the following. CS(Clairvoyant strike), CS, pop force potency, power relic, power adrenal, project, force breach, then most likely spinning strike is set up to FINISH THEM! 2 CS's 'proc' your project ability to 2 stacks, increasing the damage and reducing the force cost of project. I pop force potency and my powergoodies right before the two abilities project and breach and they hit like a truck! If it is a kiter it is helpful to throw up force slow before you pop the FP or relic/adrenal. Situationally I will open out of stealth with a spinning kick

/bump for open discussion :-)

Hey all, Up until now I've been exclusively playing 2/31/8 Spec and doing fairly well. I typically hit 150k minimum in WZs and with a good group 200k plus. Ive been doing a tiny bit of theorycrafting with the following build and was planning on trying it tonight. I thought I'd get some of your thoughts on the build. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601ZhGbRkhMbZf0fRrM.1 With this build I lose the extra crit on force breach and CS, however I feel I'd gain huge versatility by going further in the balance tree. What do you think? I'm going for burst damage and a little extra team support in pvp through FiB and instant force lifts. Also, I understand kinetic is better for putting pressure on the enemy team, however I am not 100 percent satisfied with that tree. I am wearing almost full champion stalker gear. Thanks in advance!

lol i got a nice chuckle out of this. very funny statement, but oh so true in MMO standards. =P i'ts all back a-sswards

Oh hehe, sorry then. I'm having hardcore rage issues because I haven't been able to play for 5 days lol.

This is the attitude that generally makes me a read only kind of forum user. You asked what you were missing and I simply tried to provide a helpful suggestion. If you don't like it don't use it. Troll elsewhere.

I actually quite enjoy the burst from battle readiness. Battle Readiness (in shadow technique) i believe gives you a 300% increase to shadow techniques damage, when it procs. If you are typically proccing for , say 200, that now becomes 800 per tick, in addition to the bonus from a combined force potency after having my project with 2 stacks ready to go. I usually pop Force Potency, Battle readyness, my power +500, and sometimes an adrenal for extra power, crit or surge rating. With these combined 4 utilities, I feel like I have no problem bursting anyone down pretty quickly. Also take into account, I am level 50 but have NO pvp gear as of yet. -My projects using this method crit for 3k+ -"find weakness" backstabs sometimes between 2k-3.5k -Force breach between 2k-3k with these in addition to clairvoyant strike and the ticks from shadow technique damage, really makes the infiltration shadow top notch, burst dps wise.

Hold shift and left click the stack you would like to split and drag it into a new slot.

InB4 flame! But in all seriousness, what a QQ. [Force Persuade] Go play WoW. bye

Heya all, Andar here. My current guild was ported to Belgoth's Beacon. But i'm definately up for making another character to play with the old Intrepid community once again. Would love to have CoN as a rival again. Good times. anyone from Jed-I, SGO, EvO, NwRep around?

Hey Lina, just wanted to say i've been following your videos as I've played Shadow in closed beta. Even got a couple random warzones with ya on darth malak. Thanks for your help through the helpful videos.
