I haven't progressed very far in that particular storyline but a DS consular seems incongruous considering which would be an odd thing to do for a dark side aligned person to do.

Soon as GL tells us what that is... I'd like to see Togruta next

Use your interrupts when he tries to get off his big attack.

Currently, shadows and assassins are the only melee based force users that do not have access to any lightsaber forms. I propose two forms, both of which would take advantage of the class' lightly armored, highly mobile nature. Off the top of my head - An offensive form (Jar'Kai perhaps?)- found in the madness/balance talent tree, The user becomes a whirlwhind of destruction, constantly pressing the attack and attempting to force the opponent to constantly defend and prevent him from having time to push forward. Effects could be something along the lines of increased alacrity and periodic stun effect (indicating an overwhelmed opponent with no opportunity to counterattack) A defensive form (Makashi?) - available in the darkness/kinetic combat tree. The form focuses on mobility, footwork, evasion and counterattacks (which fits nicely with the concept of a lightly armored tank). Suggested effect - on a successful defense check, all damage that would have been done would be reflected back onto the attacker ignoring a percentage of his armor (to simulate being caught off guard with a successful counterattack)

Favorites Imp: DS Jaessa (she makes evil fun), Vette (she hates my current SW (bzzzzt!) but I'm planning to roll a LS SW and go through her romance)) Rep: Kira (Nice to see a Jedi with a weird sense of humor, Risha (sarcasm becomes her - also Tara Strong Least Favorite Imp: Kaliyo (my IA is the consumate professional but for some reason tolerates this unpredictable, violence happy anarchist), Quinn (for spoilerish reasons) Rep: Qyzen (I didn't play my JC much but I really didn't like the whole "scorekeeper" concept)

“If you mashed Hoth together with Tatooine, would it make a decent planet with nice weather?” I like Kira. Though I wish there was more variety to her battle chatter.

Based on various things I've read when I started a Jugg tank, that's a deliberate design choice - Jugg/Guardian's excel at single target threat gen (i.e. bosses). The general lack of mobility of the class prevents us from doing the usually MMOM tank "round up and taunt" of multiple trash mobs. This explains it a lot better than I can http://www.tankingtor.com/2012/06/overall-tank-comparison.html If you want an AOE tank, Assassin/Shadow is your best bet.

In the Jedi Knight storyline, you eventually encounter who IMO, provides an excellent example of a light-sided SIth. Despite his many positive traits, no one would mistake him for a Jedi.
