I just want to add one thing. using the experimental shield overcharger, it really takes away the need to stack absorption for a guardian, as it gives you max(I believe 50% is the max you can have) for at best over 1/4 of the time during combat, but probably only around 1/4 in actuallity. this is because the buff is granted on shielding an attack. therefore, by stacking shield, you also stack absorption. right now (full rakata with half of all my gear augmented) I am aiming for around 25% defense, and then stacking shield for the rest. this seems to be the best route to go while using the experimental shield overchanger

Mandalore. is the main one I would like. I forget the name of it, but the planet the emperor used in his ritual, dagobah, dantooine, kashyyk, kesh, centerpoint station ( I know it doesn't count as a planet but it could sure be as large as one), the other planets in the corellia system,zoist, dathomir, bathawui, yavin IV, some place in the hapan sector, mustafaar, the list goes on and on,lol

let me point out one major flaw in your argument. his major plan is to completely consume the universe. so why did he wait 20 years after killing off almost all the jedi, and only a pathetic resistance remained? He could have used his ritual on Coruscaunt for even more power. speaking of which, that will probly be part of the jedi knight storyline in an expansion. you can't get worse than the core of the republic being in a sith ritual,lol.and yes, he is still alive:http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=340056

so... he just waited in other bodies for thousands of years, throughout the sith wars, darth bane, and then a thousand years of jedi rule... only to become palpatine?? now why would he do that? and then somehow:1. almost is killed by mace windu. 2. is killed by being thrown into a death star core when he could easily jump bodies, then is cloned, and then there are a ton of emperors, and then they r all killed, back to back to back to back. if this is true, I am seriously dissapointed with him.

Hey, this is a great guide. could I get a bit of advice on the skill tree? spent a few hours last night looking through other ppl's guides for their view point on defence/vigilence tanking, and I tried to combine the best of all of it. btw, this is for raid tanking for guardian: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#500crG0uMrkzMZhGb0MZM.1 plz pm me with your answer if u can

I actually agree with you. I used keybinds in both lotro and swg(actually did both clicking and keybinding in swg) and here I am mostly doing clicking. if you have your abilities in a spot that is easily accessible and you know exactly where it is, it is easy to get to. I have both my taunts, inturrupt, and force leap bound to my mouse, and have all my main skills/ buffs keybound. I did try going fully keybound, but I just like clicking some of my less used skills instead of having to memorize the correct combo of keys just to hit one skill. there is no lag in my performance, it is all just a matter of preferance.if you are used to clicking, keep on going man.

Hi, I just want to know why the relic system is so messed up. why do tank relics, ones that give a defense/shield buff, give power and endurance, while dps/healer relics give much more endurance? it just doesn't make sense...
