    Let's put your spec to the test!

    Atm I have 1 point in SS, I do change back a forth quite a bit though. A point in SS will increase your burst a decent bit when it procs, its nice for quickly dropping healers. If you put 1 point in Infil tactics, your sustained dps will go up a little more. You will be able to get in another PA'd project instead of waiting for force to regen. I'd say try both and see what you like.

    That armour is augmented? How? What? Where? Details please...

     

    Sadly no! :( I just wear the chest piece for that reason...I don't mind missing one augment slot at the moment to look a little different haha! I may change though to maximize stats...not sure yet lol.

    tried the hybrid tonight- the survivability barely changes. You're a lot more mobile and immo you really need to pick up the point to allow maul/shadow strike procs as otherwise its pretty dull rotation.

     

    I was underwhelmed by instant force life/ whirlwind. Its great for 2v1 situations but most wz's are too small maps to allow any ninjaing. That and the random pug people tend to break it every time :S. Obviously, it could be great in rated.

     

    I suspect though ill roll back to kinetic/ darkness for rated though unless something changes in the other trees.

     

    edit: Shin you have a real "evilgasm" when you talk about force lift ^^

     

    Im sorry, but if you don't think instant force lift is amazing/godsend then your not using it to its full potential.

    Where (which items/mods) are you getting the 702 power from right now?

     

    Well a lot of my mods are from post 1.2 bm stalker pieces, I have full augmented gear with all over kill augments. I also purchased the Force mystic one-hand and used its mods in my saber. Also ive been focusing on buying WH force mystic gloves and the WH force master boots. (I may have the names mixed up...its the one with best power mods). Also the WH force healers relay is amazing get that. Once i get the stalker implants that will be another 138 power just from those two items...so thats 840 power right there. You also don't really need to focus on crit with the 23/1/17 build because most your dmg is based of PA procs.

    I am not using the shield generator in this spec I'm basically going for raw dps. ATM I run about 860 expertise, I have 702 power, I have 79.19 surge, 23.5 % cirt and 92% acc. I usually get 400k+ a match. You should always be moving with this spec. Remember to use force lift whenever its up (I try to lift Jugs/Maras). Try to hit as many targets as possible with FIB. I start usually with double strike till i get PA then i project/fib/Breach depends on how many enemies there are. Your main attacks should mostly be double strikes and projects.

    This is a fine idea. Forgot the hilts were also exchangeable. Agreed with mystic's itemization, it's great. Our stalker robe also seems to be chasing after the right direction. Nevertheless, the healer chips (yes, healer) are by far the biggest upgrade and also the easiest to attain.

     

    Healer chips???

    Infil Shadow in PvP: why bother?

    You're playing the spec horribly wrong if you think OPs are better for bursting or can beat you 1v1. Nevertheless, the spec still sucks.

     

    I agree with you mostly...I now have basically all the gear I want/modded the way I want and I melt everything. I really don't think infiltration is bad. I usually only die max 5 times a match, and players Know to get on me to stop my dmg. I think the more you play it the better you get at learning tactics on surviving. Don't get me wrong I play 31/0/10 and 23/1/17 all the time also and I find them far better, but I just like infiltration so much! :D

    How do you feel "as tanky?" You lack self-heals from Harness Shadow-stacked TK Throw, and you can't snare or reduce damage from Slow Time. Your damage might increase slightly, but your utility for a team match (which is what will really matter in the upcoming Ranked WZs) is just so much lower. Why have slightly increased damage when someone can run DPS instead?

     

    I'd say just give it a try and see for yourself. I don't find Slowtime to be that godly of an ability. You also get instant force lift which I really enjoy. I also double strike way more often and harder in this spec, which triggers the combat tech heals quite often. You also get a slight heal from FiB. So i completely disagree when you say you lose too much utility with this spec. I get almost the same overall dmg as I do as infiltration. If we are talking ranked wz's i would prob bring one shadow of each spec anyway,besides infiltration/balance.
