johnduane Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am a well-geared Assassin, level 33. All orange, updated mods, and a couple purples. I am wondering why I swing my lightsaber twice and am out of force. I have 110. I have a lot of power on mods, and my shied. I can blast on things with my Jugger and not have to get smoked while I wait for force regen in battle. If this is how the class is, lightning dependant and stuff, then I should have picked a sorc. At least they have a bubble and an option to be a healer. As it stands, unless you boost force regen on Assassin's, I'm done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirindi Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 My little Assassin is lvl 15, but I have noticed this also. If I use anything but Saber Strike my force is gone. Saber Strike actually lets you do damage and regen force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verfallen Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Force management is the assassin's challenge. But you do not hit diminishing comeback like the agent and BH. At level 33 of deception, you now have multiples tools to keep the force up, by boosting regen or reducing cost on attacks with procs, some of them 100% sure. If you cannot use those properly the failure is yours, not the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch_Zero Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 the purpose of deception in pvp is to go after the sorc/bounty hunters and shut them down. The Problem is, once you lose the reckless charges... you as a threat go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brgnomnom Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 as deception: by only using maul with the 1/2 price proc, using talented blackout for burst stretch, throwing in the random saber strike, and attacking from stealth as often as possible + using vanish offensively for spike and regen buff, i rarely get force starved. its all about maul, though, because 50 fp is just too high and not worth it.

Astarica Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Take Thrash, your most harmless Force-consuming move possible. It uses 16.6 Force/s. Your base regen is 8/s, so after approximately 12 seconds of hitting Thrash you'd be out of Force even if you started with 100. Of course, more damaging moves will tend to use up Force even faster. While regen can be a bit higher with talent, it's never much higher. You're not expected to continously use damaging moves without running out of Force.
