We already have Force Speed I rather wanna see a replacer to Mental Potency, the perk in Balance which reduced FiB cost. It is on the same tier as FiB and i find it completely unecissary. They should make FiB cost 25 force as a baseline and add another perk at it's place: For example: - Allows us to use Spinning Strike at any target health, with 20 sec CD but deals 80% damage when used on targets above 35% hp. Make it deal roughly 15% more damage then Double Strike, just so we could have another lightsaber-attack/animation in our rotation. It's too much Double Strike spam at the moment i feel. or - Make FiB grant us an absorbing shield which absorbs 30% of the damage dealth to one of the targets. This would of course not be in Sage's Balance tree because they don't have s similar boring talet like Mental Potency. FiB = Force in Balance

Sage and Sorcereses wouldn't get it because Balance (Sage) and Sorcerer (madness) doesn't have a similar perk which reduces FiB cost. Either Shield- or Spinning Strike after FiB would make the perk much more fun without boosting the damage to much or giving too much survuvability. Let's say a shield that absorbs damage based on damage dealt to one of the victims, for example. 20% of the damage is granted as shield. Or allow Spinning Strike usage after FiB which deals 80% of the original damage. Make it deal 10-15% more damage then Double strike. I would love another Lightsaber attack in my rotation

"Mental Potency Reduces the Force cost of Force in Balance by [25 / 50]%" I find this perk completely unessicary. It's on the same tier and i think everyone can admit that it's not a fun perk I suggest that it should be replaced with a more fun and usefull perk. My ideas: Make Force in Balance cost 25 force a baseline and change the perk: -Make it cause your Force in Balance to grant you a shield which absorbs x amount of damage or... -Allows you to use spinning strike after using Force in Balance, but it deals 80% of original damage. I feel like we're using too much double strike, so i would love to see another lightsaber attack in the rotation What do you think about this perk, and if it were to be replaced, what would you like to see?

NEarly every Jedi Shadow i see is specced inflictration. Is there some kind of rumour out there that inflictration in the main dps spec and balance is some kind of "secondary" spec? I don't understand why. Is it the name? Balance? Or why would you say there are so few balance specced shadows?

As Balance i never use shadow strike

my shadow (balance) some time ago, i wear different armor now http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1830/screenshot2012010720403.jpg

YOu should spec Balance. Awesome in any level in pvp and pve. Upheaval is great and easy to get in low level

Balance is great in pvp. It's great for both pve and pvp dps. Instant force lift, more often stun, dots, high hitting aoe (force in balance) , which also is awesome for single target dps. I can't really say anything about inflictration, because i've only been Balance.
