My Assassin: Azaan My jugg: Du'an. It means Spirit or soul. So when I get the Darth title I''l be Darth Du'an which could be seen as representative of Dark Soul. My shadow: Amoun. One who is behind the shadows or of the shadows(something to that affect) My Knight: Anaru. Means great warrior.

Consular PVE Armor the Worst Design in Game History?
StainedLotus replied to Descends's topic in Combat Styles
Why do people have a problem with the shoulder? There are plenty of male outfits that have a bare shoulder. They were obviously going for a Monk Look. It's just not one of the monk looks we wanted. Bioware needs to take a look at Ninjas and Cloak assassins for their next round of armor. There should be separate gear designs of the ACs as a matter of fact. The gear issue would probably be smaller if Shadows weren't forced to wear consular garb as canonically they are far from diplomats. Sentinels and Marauders should have more medium armor options and let he Guardians and Juggernauts stick to the heavy plated stuff. -
Consular PVE Armor the Worst Design in Game History?
StainedLotus replied to Descends's topic in Combat Styles
I think it looks cool ,actually. Very shaolin monk-ish. It's one step closer to a Satele Shan look. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/11/14/article-1085707-02772DFB000005DC-742_468x584.jpg I think we can all agree monks tend to be BAMFs. -
I use a shadow and a sin and what do is go full infiltration/deception but use combat stance/dark charge. Get my healer companion and be a god of the battlefield. Need to use shadow strike/maul? You have a bunch of stuns to rotate between. You can survive while doing less damage. Switch back to surging charge when you do flashpoints with a true tank.

I am by no means an expert but I read all of this guides carefully and i experiment.I am only 41 so can't speak as a fully geared fifty but i prefer infiltration because i get to be more flashy . Another thing i do is Stance dance. I don't know how effective it is at 50 but in low level pvp I become quite effective at helping the team. Since I'm Infiltration, I'll pick off healers or lonesome ranged dpsers ad try to burn them. If help comes i switch to combat stance to provide an escape. If i see that something is being captured I go in as combat stance to distract the cluster or protect a healer while still being able to do some respectable damage. This requires massive meter management and changing stances is costly and you can be starved if done at the wrong time. I use Infiltration as my main spec and not eh kinetic build because infiltration is less dependent on shadow stance than kinetic is of combat stance

Not ALL of our outfits suck. Proof!
StainedLotus replied to RockysRevenge's topic in Shadow / Assassin
Maybe i should rephrase my feelings on the look. The tattered hermit look is cool but its not my idea of what a shadow would be wearing. It is more more fitting for the sage: Think Dagobah system Yoda, St. Augustine, John the baptist, Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha and other hermits or monks. The Shadow is a more active individual who is sent in to essentially bring death to the dark side. They are supposedly the best of the best at combat and that attire isn't fitting for a combatant in my opinion. Take Rockysrevenge's Avatar for example. While it is tattered it still has a shadow like quality of being better suited for battle. The only jedi /sith i've seen fight fully robed was Yoda, Palpatine(neither of them really had a proper duel) and old man Kenobi(if you can call that a fight. Besides that he has removed his robe while in a serious duel) The robes has served more as over coats than anything else in the series. -

StainedLotus replied to RockysRevenge's topic in Shadow / Assassin
Yea my character is pretty much the first look which looks a lot better with body type 4, but the fact still remains pre - end game inquisitor gear >>>> consular gear. That Revan styled chess piece would make up for that as with that metallic helmet my character would be a ninja . Why do they treat us so? It would be simpler than creating new gear. All they would have to do is add it to republic loot table or place it in a vendor somewhere. Both pvp sets look horrid ...lol at overgrown peacock and hobo. Who designed those and said "That's some cool outfits right there". Dont even get me started on the raid gear. I could audition for a the role of being the next Disney princess. -

StainedLotus replied to RockysRevenge's topic in Shadow / Assassin
you mean its a sith side option? hmmmmm my assassin that has been collecting dust looks better everyday lol. From the description it looks close enough to Revans. Its the ninja/monk look i wanted for my sin/shadow. -

StainedLotus replied to RockysRevenge's topic in Shadow / Assassin
The outfit Revan has is exactly how i want my shadow to look except without the helmet and with the hood. I though that was available to us and then i read the entire post sigh. -
Bioware obviously ran out of budget. Nearly every other MMO manages to at least have unique endgame gear for each of its class. Lets be real, the base class only serves as a way to not have to make 8 stories(requiring 8 more VOs meaning more resources given to story and not gasmeplay) and completely unique move sets for all the classes. So either Bioware ran out of resources or they were lazy. It could possibly be a combo of both.

Clairvoyant strike animation and infiltration shadow flaw.
StainedLotus replied to alexkman's topic in Shadow / Assassin
you sir would be a very boring jedi. I would kung lao sith aaaalll day. I would force push likesaber like a missile of doom. put them in stasis with there backs to the floor and then bam spin lightsaber like a buzz saw and cleave them in two. I would learn how to fight with a light saber using telekinesis etc etc. -
Clairvoyant strike animation and infiltration shadow flaw.
StainedLotus replied to alexkman's topic in Shadow / Assassin
The buzz saw of doom is my sole reason for going infiltration. No other tree gets any flashy moves. -
Pretty sweet and i have that same helm waiting for when i get to 46 as well. I'm going for a ninja look .

Whether you like your current look or you have a previous look you are fond post a pic of your character. If you RP throw in a back story for your toon as well if you want. here is my guy currently: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3706/screenshot2012012422533bs.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2507/screenshot2012012422544.jpg

Devs indirectly address Project/Shock discrepancy
StainedLotus replied to Samyrius's topic in Shadow / Assassin
It's not that simple. We want instant time but with the current animation that is not possible unless the have the damage take effect when we press the key and not when the debris hits our opponents or they give assassins a charge up time. This would cause crying on the other side as well. They also may be contemplating and alternative animation that suits instant damage because they do not want any discrepancies between animation and damage application. Copy and pasting code isn't a viable or professional solution to the issue. There probably isn't even different code. there is probably an if statement that tells the program to apply damage when the animation of an attack is finished. So it would be the animator's fault and not the programmers in this case. Since they are apart of a team there are probably many discussions as how to fix it. -

Double-bladed lightsaber why must we use this?
StainedLotus replied to RhandomAccess's topic in Shadow / Assassin
Actually it was a weapon created by the sith. It is referred to as the "Sith Lightaber". Exar Kun got the design for his from Sith holocrons I believe. It is a weapon of death that requires and aggressive battle style which the jedi frowned upon because it could lead to the dark side. -

Double-bladed lightsaber why must we use this?
StainedLotus replied to RhandomAccess's topic in Shadow / Assassin
They sound like an elite task force to me. Their job description makes them seem like they not only do what you say but also destroy anything sith related. This also means assassinations are a part of the job. An excerpt : Often engaged in information-gathering roles, Shadows were always sure to obtain all possible data on their target before making a decisive blow against them. Due to their missions, Jedi Shadows were often noted for being loners with a black-and-white perception of the world around them. This could manifest itself as paranoia, wherein they saw signs of the dark side in everything—including their own comrades. As such, they were often deployed cautiously and only in times after a great conflict. Shadows did not hesitate in their duty and were willing to betray those that they considered evil, but they often practiced restraint as they recognized that their definition of such foes did not always match those of the Council. Some among their rank believed that more aggressive actions were needed in order to destroy the followers of the dark side. Based on this, it is clear that as far as the story is concerned we are consulars. My theory on the whole AC system instead of creating 8 individual classes was to save money and time. Have the Base class be the story and the AC's provide the gameplay. They would only have to hire 4 voice actors and write 4 stories. -
cool thanks
