Here I was happy with my 5.5k back to back hits and you're doing 6400+ now. One day I will catch up to you! P.S. I've modded with BM mods due to feeling lack luster after 1.2 to get my power back up, so far the enhancement/mod difference between WH and BM is so small that I'm only getting 2-3 power tops per WH enhancement/mod I replace, how critical is the hilt and offhand? Been considering picking those up instead.

Stupid question sorry. I've never done ANY PVE, where do these commendations come from? Black Talon only or?

You'd be surprised what a little pressure can cause even a skilled healer to mess up on that you can take advantage of. Why?

This has been my experience as well. I win duels, vs everyone as long as I don't mess up my CDs. Also 786 bonus damage Shin, you make me drool.

Exactly, if they fixed the other specs I would play them more. Also my KC doesn't do "okay" damage, he does very very good damage. While still providing guard Edit : I also have no problem obtaining spots in groups.

You claim this won't work in rated WZs, yet you have no proof to back that up. Theory is great, and fun, but it doesn't always ring true. What I have experienced so far getting to 80+ valor as a KC shadow in stalker power modded gear: Pre 1.2 : With any healer of my choosing we were unkillable without 5-7 people, and even then if we had good dps we would outlast them, add another healer and we never dropped. Post 1.2 : More or less the same situation, unless there are 3-6 lolsmash spec sentinels. Even against that it though the TTK us is still long and they will lose at least 2 people in the process, add in good dps, and we come out on top. I can take 60-70% of someones life in the time it takes a sentinel to setup lolsmash (which by this time I am not in range for but still in range to guard my healer, oh and the sentinels are taunted and have the slow time debuff up 5% still counts for something), healers aren't just standing there taking a pounding either, they have abilities to reduce the damage they take and also to CC. Yeah I'm a little bit optimistic, but I base it on the experience I have gained, not on theory of what is to come. If things don't work out, I have plenty of BM+ alts I can use instead, but until then I will remain positive that my winning power can and will translate over to rated.

Just to chime in here. (OHAI DEVORAS, Caelinn says stop vanishing). I have run KC combat since 50, I switch specs now and then but the utility is just too much since I pretty much always have someone to guard. There are mods out there to stack power on BM gear that can be obtained quickly and easily with the new patch. I am sitting on 1100+ Expertise with 750-ish force bonus damage as a full 31/0/10, and my TK Throws with 3 stacks on Sages/Sorcs/Low Expertise players tick for 2k+, and I'm getting close to my 5k medal almost every WZ. Maybe I'm missing something you guys can enlighten me too, but I don't lose duels unless I mess up my own CDs, I burst hard, I CAN kill healers solo. I know I'm not even close to the dps of a sentinel, but a sentinel can't guard, stealth, taunt. Oh, and when I'm running with groups, we win, a LOT. So what am I missing? The future of KC is pretty bright when you mod it right. I think I might be the only Shadow who actually loves playing KC and isn't bored with it, simply because it's so versatile.

You should stream more

So I'm learning, had a lot of those games today. Also healers are vastly under appreciated, even if you out heal everyone by 100k or more, people still favor the high dps and medal farmers for MVP votes. Never again will I ignore those poor healers.

Thanks for turning me on to this spec. I've played nothing but full scrapper to 44 and just respec'd to try this, it's lovely. The biggest issue I have with it right now is that I'm not getting enough damage in as I find myself mostly just healing during WZs, but I think I'll be able to start getting more than 5 medals with it once I get the hang of the dps/heal rotation and situations. Thanks again!
