What's a Kinetic shadow ? I use a Deception Assassin and was thinking of going towards Darkness spec. How did you distribute your points ? Thx

Is there any reason to go looking for Datacrons that are NOT your primary skill ? For example : If you're a Sith Inquisitor and your primary is Willpower, any reason to go looking for anything other than the Endurance ones as well ? Thx

I completely agree. I think there are numerous reasons as to why Ranged has an advantage over Melee is this game but the biggest problem comes down to the way they've decided to "even out" the classes. For gameplay sake they've decided to eliminate the devastating affect a lightsaber strike would have on someone while significantly simplifying the aiming/composure skill needed to hit a moving target. If Im a Sith Assassin and I've just immobilized you with some force power and then swing my Saber at your head, I haven't lowered your HP pool I've decapitated you. Likewise if a Bounty Hunter has just thrown a grenade on a unsuspecting Jedi wearing only a robe that Jedi is scattered everywhere. We don't have lethality in this game we have Baton vs BB gun fights. Right now the BB gun is easier to employ correctly and therefore a little more effective. My hunch is that they'll get the balance right eventually but who knows.

So if I understand correctly, you get to use gear that would otherwise be unattainable to you as you level up. If that's right does that mean you keep getting Gear advantages the Darker (or Lighter) you go? Is there a point at which going Darker no longer matters or is there always a benefit the Darker (or Lighter) you go ? Thx

Are there any benefits of going full dark or full light? Is it explained anywhere? Thanks.
