Acording to my sources because i'm looking for it for when i get to that level on my sniper. It drops on Balsavis from the Acklay Matriarch not sure how often but it says there's a 100 chance, can someone test this info out for me?

I agree, Shadow's are great for Pve and really shine in pvp if you gear up right. I managed to do some quests 3 level's above me when i was infiltartion spec'd. While my companion took the brunt of everything i was behind building up procs and what not then unleashing to damage. The high burst damage is great and it's fun to play, made the combat more intense rather then the usual tank and spank you'd see from a Kinetic shadows. The tank spec i offered up was just encase she decides infiltration isn't into her play style. DPS isen't everyone's forte.

Infiltration DPS bursts are mostly centered around buffs. but there is a way to insure your survive most fights. Use a tank companion, shadow strike is a infiltration shadows best friend also. If you can get your first companion up to par with you have him take the agro and get in behind the mobs you'll do just fine. Even if Quzen(sp) falls it will help eat away at the the elite boss's health enough that you can continue, keep plenty of med kits handy for that situation. But i can give you a spec that i use for pve and pvp. I'm level 46 and it's served me well, as well as Kinetic specs. DPS Infiltarion spec: http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/jedi_consular/shadow/#::f2e7fe3fe5f8df15ef5ef2ef: Kinetic Spec: http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/jedi_consular/shadow/#::f20e2fefe6de7f4ef5ef2ef5: The tank spec is great for soloing if you have you healing companion, that will leave you with a few points to spend as you wish but there you go. read the skill discriptions so you know what to use for the proc's if you haven't already. Force breach, project and Clairvoyant strike will be your best damage dealers along side shadow strike. Infiltration is the tree the shadow was made for, Critical chance gear and surge ratings are the other main stats your going to want with will power at least that's what's worked for me. Play styles may very but those are some good builds none the less.

this is my Infiltration build which is close to the first posters 3/31/8 spec with a few changes. This is my pvp and pve burst spec. http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/jedi_consular/shadow/#::fe5de2fe3fe5f8df15ef5ef2ef5:
