Thanks. My main focus is dps and PvP btw.

So I finished leveling my Sentinel, gotten a few PvP pieces and am currently destroying PvP (gear win yay). I stopped doing Ilum as it is abysmal, I'm only doing the PvP daily for the bag atm, which leaves me some time to level an alt. I'm picking a new class, I want a class with stealth so it's a tie between JC Shadow and IA Operative. 1) In terms of leveling through PvE content, which class is easier/faster? (Shadow or Operative) 2) Which spec and companion is best for JC Shadow for solo PvE leveling? 3) Is leveling completely through PvP (except class quests) viable? How does one keep his gear updated if leveling exclusively in PvP? Bonus question: which class would you recommend from your experience?

Completely agree. Anyone who has an ounce of real life will suffer greatly from this daily.

Just a question, I'm interested in leveling via PvP too, how do you keep your gear updated? Market or just pvp sets?

This man deservers a medal (and not a Warzone one)

oh shi-

I'm rank 28 almost full champ. Mad?

About bloody time

As said many times, you need to kite them at appropriate times. Now I never played Shadow but I can tell you I have a very easy time defeating Shadows/Assassins who don't know when to kite. If it's Rebuke/Saber Ward or Guarded by the Force, just go away and wait for these to drop. Pop your defensive cooldowns when the dots are stacked on you. Watchmen have quite some build up time so if you manage to survive throughout one rotation you have some time again before we stack everything on you again. It also helps if you're the one to start the fight.

I do just fine without it to be honest

Not too bad considering you don't look PvP geared.

Over 15k myself. Some champion gear, both champion lightsabers, Columi chest.
