I have a heck of alot easier time than a Sage healer in my guild cause if there is not bonus 9 times out of ten I can stealth though and do the quests faster than killing though. I was going to put in a couple of spoilers. These will I am sure be nerfed but has of right now it is working the way the game was designed but no point in putting it out there right now. It is not the way it works in other games I know for a fact. I like to learn classes and play them the best I can. I was on EQ Bards and was very into Vangaurd Bards and helped Sony make that class with lots of work and input to them. I was a Sony community rep at one time so I know the testing and time to do this. It is not perfect the game but it will get there I am sure of it.

I went to Voss at lvl 44 and am lvl 48 now even did the Horics tanking at lvl 45 so not sure what you are talking about. I think you need to check your gear and play style. I just soloed the Voss bonus quests last night and took me from 47 to 48. I did the trials quest solo at lvl 44 and it was rough and got beat with in an inch of my life even used heal pot once but not seeing what you are talking about. It is all about tactics and gear. I have 13k+ HP at 48 and Theran is decked out with best gear i can find him and mods and armor I can make him at this level. I bet some of my pets have more HP than some of you. Theran is close to 10k I even dueled a Champ with 400k Hp with a Vangard at 46. Too add you want some cheese with that wine. Geez yall want it all handed to you on a silver platter. Learn to play the game and the class and you might not cry so much. I have not had any issues at all with game play sometimes I think it is too easy. I mean come on elites in games I played in the past meant a group and I can do them in this one even those 2 to 3 levels higher with me and a pet that is to me a bit to easy but since I am not has hard core has I use to be then I will expect and let it slide.

Voss I will recheck but I believe the World boss or at lease 2 Champs I found are in the Bonus chain area. One by the Sith ship in the bonus area The other beyond that cave it was the Leader he was up all by himself there and looked pretty mean. I looted a chest near him stealth.

I removed it from my hot bars cause for us it is useless totally. I mean with the rate we regen force even in a fight something like double strike or project will do more damage than this. I think we regen force a lot faster than balance from what I read on here so they have to be concerned with force and effective use. Were we just hit the mob till dead.

I am lvl 47 and have been a Kinetic Shadow from the get go and know your pain totally. I can not wait for slow time. I guess it will be the next best thing to Tharen and Spinning Strike. But I find I can out tank just about anyone so far. I also seem to pull aggro from people when they tank and end up tanking the bosses about half way though.

Kinetic Shadow here and I have not had issues with this. Some close fights but hey I have been a level or two below the class quests when i have done them and managed to win sometimes not the first time but no more than a few attempts. I have never done an Inf build so would not know the issues there. But you might want to look at level too if you are 3 to 4 levels below the mob you might have issues with even hitting might be missing a bunch I have seen that too with one of the bosses seems I missed a lot or did not hit has hard has I would have on equal level.

I want to know how in the heck all those people got on my ship and manage to live and stay on it personally. Seems like I have 100+ people on my ship. Oh also want to know how to disable the driods voice bock. Jedi are now suppose to get mad but I swear I want to take my light saber and bash him in the mouth repeatedly.

I have Omenbringer's which I understand is Shadows class gear. It is hooded and looks pretty cool.

I searched for that and was only seeing the hotkeys for the pets. I have not put up the left bar cause of the pet bar and or groups there. I hate this UI and the lack of customization.

If it was meant to be easy then there would be no fun in the challenge of it. Yes it takes some skill and practice. Also might take some levels. If you are equal levels it is easier than 2 or 3 levels down on him. Even easier if you are a level or 2 higher. It all depends on gear and level has to how you do. Has a Kinetic Shadow I have many ways to interrupt him so these challenges are designed for you to know your class and abilities. LoS while usable is something that gamers came up with to cheat the game mechanics. While it is viable and not against the rules this is truly not how the encounter was designed and or tested for I can assure you that. You should be able to beat him with out LoS just have to know what your doing and your class and skills and make sure you are gear correctly.

This is something near and dear to my heart. I can not stand there is only 2 bars on the bottom middle and only 1 that is hot keyed. There are tons of things I use and need. But not enough space for them and the side bars can and do get covered making it hard to use needed abilities. It really depends on what type of Shadow you are has to what you need. I mean I have up all attacks and I have up all my taunts and tanking things but I am Kinetic Shadow so that is my job. Has someone said I am hardly ever in force stance so Might remove it. Heck I have not even trained the next level of Force Tech yet cause it is like 35k and I never use it at all. But still not enough space for all my abilities.

So True. However on my server the Imps that PvP have started to know that I am a tank and I seem to be getting gang attacked like 5 to 6 at a time now. But still a good fight and still hard for them to take me down and come out with out a scratch.

I am not 50 yet. I am Kinetic Shadow. I have in PvP right now 15k hp. I can do a lot of damage about the only ones that are out doing me in kills and damage are the troops it seems. But I can hold people from doors with AoE and cause of my tanking abilities like immunity to all for 3secs and other things I am hard to kill too. I do not have an issue wading into 3 or 4 people knowing that I can kill at least 1 and they will have a heck of time killing me. I also would love to be a fly on the wall when Spinning Stike clips on of them for almost 3k crit killing them. PvP is all about levels. I see teens to 20 something in a game all the time and well let me tell you it is not pretty and they help some but normally missing a majority of the abilities and weapons to do much damage. Oh Force Pull is great in Hutt Ball. Just when they get on platform to yank them off is so fun. 75% of the time if it is not a healer I can yank stun and kill and steal the ball.

I had a Rift Stalker tank in Rift and yes those tanks did pretty good but it was lots of abilities and dependent on those to survive has well has maintaining high dps to keep aggro. You are right in the comparison and I find the play styles very close. Maybe since I could not be a bard that is why I choice Shadow to be main tank for me. The other thing to note too is we can get some major HPs also if geared right.

I did This guy at 42 I tried with Nadia has it said and failed 2 times. I pulled out Tharan and did it had him down 75% and hit force cloak by mistake I am a tank load out Shadow with at that time 10k HP and he will eat though it quick if you do not stun and interrupt him often. Love Holiday and her nice mezzes.
