She went full balls to the walls glasscannon with focus even as KC. I mean, if you have healer/guard behind your back, sure, why not ;o I usually use shield in offhand but we all know how effective passive defenses are in PvP

So those who don't enjoy it are immature? Allright.... I prefer *****-force-choking thank you very much.

I love my shadow but storyline I found pretty meh. It's very slow paced and they really focused on the word CONSULAR not SHADOW. In other words, not much of an infiltration/secret service stuff. However I know people who were amazed with it so it's purely subjective.

This.

You really dislike endurance on your KC ;o

In a long run, yes of course, but atm it costs you tons of commendations.

This one I already got ;o

Course of action I took: 1) Byatch-slap my friend to craft me a power crystal. 2) Focus on entirely getting power off-pieces (It's pretty sad when healer parts are better for us than our own btw.) 3) Meanwhile keep on gathering augmented WarHero shells. 4) Gather WH purple piece, rip the mods outs, put them into augmented orange. 5) Profit? No, you still have to remod it. 6) Well, so freaking remod it, accuracy all over the place, da***?

I'm also running with +/- 900 expertise after yesterday's testing. Working fine. One must remember however, that expertise also increases your survavibility in PvP.

You always have to stay frosty, simple.

This thread is priceless. Try playing Combat Medic first, I guarantee you'll be back on your sage in no time.

Delay is a good thing. Realize that. Close this thread.

Grav Round places an armor debuff on target. Grav round charges barels for higher High Impact Bolt damage. Grav Round increases Commando's survavibility by adding shield stack. Grav Round increases Demolition Round damage by adding gravity vortexes. Grav Round procs Curtain of Fire. It has no cooldown. It is a tech ability so it bypasses defenses. It's relatively cheap. It has relatively short cast time. With all respect, even if you cut Grav Round damage by half, people would still spam it due to numerous buffs it provides.

Do I DARE logging on my Commando alt...?

This. Basically go forth mah boi and grind that WH gear. I only have 1 question... WHAT's UP WITH THAT MO*********G accuracy on our gear all over the place?

Yup. Im mixing up my gear now aswell.

So I swapped for pure expertise build. Stats look poorly but almost +20% dmg versus enemy players makes up for it. Try it out. I think you'll like it. *EDIT* It does need however, some min-max tweaking. I'm sure there is a new sweet spot.

Best western.

Good point. It's true you only need to RE it for a recipe.

I see. But my whole reasoning is right, because you are be able to make augmented orange gear? (Never looked into it before~)

Ok so did I get it right. Since set bonuses are now tied to armoring in order to get the best PvP gear you'll have to: Grind your battlemaster (Ok this one I got.) Trade your BM shells + 1K+ rated commendations for WarHero gear. Then create a whole set of critted orange gear with augments. Then rip the mods/armoring out of WarHero gear (And possibly grind some more pieces for perfect mods/enchantments). Put mods/enchantments/armoring into crafted, augmented orange gear. Am I missing anything? That's a lot of bloody work >.> Bottom line - Should I respec Synthweaving + Slicing right away in order to be able to create critted orange armor sets and augments? I mean come on....

BM Commendations? Sounds reasonable. But yeah it's probably that.

So what is the new way of getting WarHero?

Very nice video, finally with some digestable music instead of techno remixes/dubstep. (Maidens, yes please.) I like that sometimes you don't blindly wait for the PA to proc like other shadows. I like how you adapt to the situation. I noticed that you're using stalker for 2nd set bonus which is what I used to do but swapped it for 2x dps modded survivor in a favor of a ForceAimForTheBallsKick on lower cooldown. Overall, I'd say it's quite a gem among other shadow videos.

Up to 5K with Mental Scarring and consumables popped.
