1. How do you think your Assassin spec is perceived by other classes? +Deception+ Useless in both PvE and PvP utility. Burst DPS capability is only acceptable with top-tier gear/mods, the non-burst DPS period is unacceptable and a detriment to the group in PvE. Spec is truly a PvP build but only top 5% of the class will have success with it once gear is acquired. 2. How do you perceive your own spec? Truly a great PvP spec in 1v1 scenarios or surprise. But the fall off of DPS after opening is so great, there’s virtually no time to recover or finish the job if the opponent pops a CD. Opening damage has to be extremely high to mitigate this issue, hence why the AC is only good with Top-tier gear/mods

1. How do you think your Juggernaut spec is perceived by other classes? +Tank: is it will suffice as a tank in single target situations, but it needs to be complemented with another tank class to fill in the gaps that are lacking, +DPS: Acceptable Survivability in PvP scenarios, lacking in output in PvE scenarios. Why pick up a jugg for DPS when most other DPS AC's will surpass Juggs in damage output. 2. How do you perceive your own spec? +Tank: Not a total failure and can be played quite successfully, but outclassed by their other tank ACs in more ways than one. Juggs bring nothing unique to the tanking role, just deficiencies clearly seen when playing other tank classes +DPS:Survivability however is good, Moderate damage output compared to other ACs, but that’s ok given it’s a “tanking class”. But again rivaled by other DPS “tanking ACs” which puts it at the bottom of the list when compared. needs a unique trait or re-balance.

you have one of the least survivable specs in game, given your abilities, so you have to subsidize that with smart play, ie: don’t rush in to the fray with the group thinking you’re gonna dish out damage like a marauder or Powertech, you will just get embarrassed a die fast. But if you go after the guys with 40-60% health, you should be dropping peeps before they can counter, 90%. Even still the results will be different if that’s a Jug with low health or a Merc, so understanding your target's abilities goes without question. if your any good as a Dec Assassin, there's no reason you should be getting owned all the time. Not only do you need to master your rotation to perfection, but you need to top out your stats, get your gear, and understand the play style. You have way less survivability than most other DPS specs so don’t play like them. Deception is not for the newb looking for the easy entry spec into PvP, go darkness or Madness if that’s your Aim.

I have to agree, after lvl 29 I totaly gave up on Khem, got tired of spending creds to upgrade his gear just to watch him die on every elite/boss encounter. Ashara on the other had makes everything so much easier. she's almost the perfect complement to a darkness spec.
