Seeing as this is the Shadow Forum, you should have Mind Maze, a lovely 60 second sap. Sneek up, sap one of the strongs, and deal with the other one, being sure not to use AOE's.

Im going to go out on a limb and say Consulars are the most balanced class, I mean, one of their talent trees is so balanced its called Balance! Well... maybe not

Its not a consular problem, but rather a companion problem. Companions not acting as they should when you use certian attacks. it effects the gunslinger too

Grass is always greener....

Well consulars get their healing companion at the end of Nar Shadaar. You should be able to complete most heroics with 2 people + 2 companions. If he is speccing infiltration, you might have to pick a tanking class after all... pitty my tank's a shadow, else I'd give you more information on whats best. And on another note; two of the same class can do the same story quests, you just have to enable it in preferences and be prepared to do it twice, so you could roll a consular yourself

I have only partied with really good sentinels during my gameplay, marking correctly, not attacking sapped targets, watching their AoE around CC'ed targets. Its not the class that gives you trouble but the player behind the particular class

Everyone forgets the infiltration shadow when they talk about rogue like classes. You'll find that the classes dont really start feeling "roguey" till the higher levels; my infiltration shadow is an absolute monster, stunning and bursting foes down. They lack survivability though so they're a class to pick and choose their fights.

With the Oceanic release less than a month away, is there any word on a timetable for transfers for Oceanic Players who have already purchased the game and are playing on US or European servers like Harbinger or JekJekTar to regional servers?

^^ Its already paid for itself in lack of annoyances in being knocked off the speeder...

How interesting, let me respec and see how this pans out.... ((after respec)) Nope, I didnt see it, Circling Shadows worked for me as intended, using both Clairvoyant Strike and Double Strike and a mixture of the two, Project cost 20 force when there were two stacks of it.

Second this! How difficult is it going from my Shadow to my gunslinger that must clear out corridors and corridors of foes while my shadow can sneak past them all to the big bad boss (I remember one occasion on Belsavis when I passed a group of people clearing out the corridor, up to the story instance, killed the big bad boss, and passed them again on the way out; while they were still killing stuff)?

Second this opinion. The consular story is very good if you can stick through the first act.

And not all moves are complete mirrors of themselves. Imagine if the consulars and the inquisitors were together trolling each other over the Project delay

The windows key minimizing your window and bringing up the start menu is hardwired into Windows. While you can disable this function; it requires alot of tinkering behind the scenes. Playing in windowed mode should decrease the effect of accidentally pressing the windows key

Though there are many Shadows who would rather each of the mirrors have parity on the whole project/shock issue, ether both have a 1.5 second cast animation or both instant. It is also a boost for the Assassins, as their killing blows can strike before a Shadow's. But DPS wise? Exactly the same. Give or take a few buggy talents which are likely to be fixed in the medium future (ie, not something you need to worry about)

I personally prefer sage, because I like the way they hold their lightsabers... Silly reason, I know, but Aesthetics is 90% of everything in this world

When I was playing Infiltration (which was alot of fun!) I started (from stealth) with spinning kick, Clayvoyant Strike x 2 (Double Strike), Project (repeat), and when I had a full lot of that buff that buffs Force Breach, Force Breach itself (even though some say hit Force Breach every time, thats what I did, seemed a waste not stacking that proc to max). When Find Weakness proced, I'd hit Low Kick, move a little ahead then hit Shadow Strike. To bad the survivability sucked; so back to boring double strike spam Kinetic while I level up.

I believe crit crafting oranges came in this most recent patch. Just saying

Eh don't roll an Assassin if you decide down that path; Roll a Shadow instead; whole different story to keep you entertained instead of repeating the same old story you went through with your Inquisitor.

Poor Assassins/Shadows; they get ignored ;_;

Nerfs? Maybe, but there are some pretty significant buffs (or fixes?) to Kinetic Combat in there...

False. Anyone can crit on a UT mission, the + critical increases the chance this happens though Missions rotate every time the game goes into a loading screen. So if you dont have the mission you want; go to your ship and see if its there.

I just cleared it then with only a single death (42); It wasnt that hard, but then again I was tank specced, which I think makes a huge difference for those shadows that want to do this mission. Remember, Mind Snap isnt your only interrupt, you have Force Wave, Stun, and for the shadows low kick for Infiltrators and Spinning Kick for the Kinetics. To be fair, I wasn't paying attention how I killed him, I just unloaded interrupts whenever he casted something big and villainous looking and jumped around alot out of his target zone. I'm not sure if that helped or not but I managed to get through it

Ah, but even if it did that, the Dee Pee Esses wouldn't read what the debuff says and attack anyway. There is no getting around stupid DPS.

IF I were rating it, I'd swap act 2 and act 1 around. It was a struggle to get thru act 1, but in comparison, act 2 was lovely. Still working on act 3, but from experiances so far I would agree with your rating. I also like the smoothness that Act 2 moved onto Act 3; hell I hadn't even known act 3 had started till I was half way thru Belsavis
