I would argue that Revol or Talos would be better for PVP. Revol is less kiteable and has decent burst, while Talos makes green numbers, which are always welcome.

1, 2, 2, (S if I need a stun), T, V, (D if Proc-ed), 1, (F if under 30%) , 2, 2, 1,(D if Proc-ed), (3 if I need a stun), (F if under 30%), 2, 2, 1.

Ashara is really good at Diplomacy. As tankasin it's either Revol or Talos, leaning towards Talos unless in content under you level.

Darkness spec, I went with Khem (DPS stance, taunt ON) until I got Revel. Revel was about 50% of my total damage, and was better at assisting and not breaking CC than any DPS I've ran a premade with. Dude doesn't talk too much either. I ended up swapping to the healing companion when I got him, for stability as I started to go into content over my level wanting to keep the story moving.

Darkness/Madness using Dark Charge. I liked running with Andronicus till I got this guy. While we kill a little slower I feel more secure about getting "Jumped" or getting through a second Silver add, and I don't even have to think about attacking single golds, I just do it. Not that I had trouble with them with Andronikus, his high dps was making up for not having anything other than a heal-pot for green numbers, there was sometimes some kiting involved here. I was able to solo the entirety of the LVL 50 story at level 47 with Talos healing and me tank/dps. However, I'm finding the 3 melee companions completely useless with these 2 around, admittedly I have not PVE-ed with Xalek.

Please leave bugged. I like running around without big red letters over my head in PVP.

Leveled up Darkness (23) and added 18 madness after. Used Khem Val in DPS mode with taunts working, shared agro. As soon as I had Andronicus Pulls became much faster, he was doing about 40%+ of our combined damage and was always good at assisting me, without walking delay as he's ranged. At 40-some I took the healer companion and put him in a full suit of PVP gear, smooth sailing from there. Soloed story-ending at 47.

23, 0, 18 Running with dark charge and shield. I feel like I'm very hard to kill and still do decent single target damage. Pull, 2 stuns, low cost double-shock, increased force regen, and 50% more crit damage on thrash. It all adds up. Only thing I don't like is the fact that Raze procs are hard to see, and I feel like I'm missing the extra damage I could be doing with that.
