Ancaglon Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Note: 2.4 updates coming soon. Given that it's no longer possible to respec while in a WZ (or queued, for "matchmaking"... laughable, given the Arenas I've been pulled into), we (and most other Advanced Classes) now need a general-purpose spec -- any thoughts on that?

Ziddal_the_green Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Question about Balance PVE rotation... Why keep battle readiness/relic/adrenal for mind crush proc? If we use them right from the start all our dots will benefit from the increased power/critical rate... Is there a reason you are suggesting that?

Encaitor Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 In the pre-36 build. What tree is recommended traveling up in? How should the skillbuild look by then, trying to get max in deception or grabbing both Surging Charge and Death Field? What charge do u play in pre-elextric ambush, Dark or lightning?

Humatk Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I had a question, while it is by no far my first character on swtor, i am under the impression that it is the first time i am struggling at leveling (lvl 30 full Balance). I started with a balance build as i thought healing myself with Force in Balance would be a great asset. While it is true and let's be fair this skill is good, i also realized that..i didn't thought it well and DoTs for leveling is quite a harsh path (every champion makes me sweat (since it takes too much time for him to die and i am no tank..). What would you guys suggest for a leveling phase (PvE for now only)? Edited December 6, 2013 by Humatk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you guys suggest for a leveling phase (PvE for now only)? I just hit 32 and I'm cutting through mobs like they were nothing with Infiltration. I can't remember ever encountering a challenging fight. I use a dps companion. If you have a geared healing companion, try Kinetic (tanking). Don't be afraid to use CC and just stealth past tough mobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaShuk Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I had a question, while it is by no far my first character on swtor, i am under the impression that it is the first time i am struggling at leveling (lvl 30 full Balance). I started with a balance build as i thought healing myself with Force in Balance would be a great asset. While it is true and let's be fair this skill is good, i also realized that..i didn't thought it well and DoTs for leveling is quite a harsh path (every champion makes me sweat (since it takes too much time for him to die and i am no tank..). What would you guys suggest for a leveling phase (PvE for now only)? My rise to 55 on my Consular went in three phases. I started as Balance and found it horrible pretty much all the way through the 30s. I changed to infiltration and it was like a complete turn around. Mobs were suddenly going down fast and the game was fun to play again. When I hit the 50s I went back into Kinetic Combat using one of the guides on here and I haven't looked back since. Balance has never been an enjoyable tree for me on any of my Shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you would be running in shadow technique, those 2 points are wasted in the balance tree tier 2 ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmerry Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 OP PvP Section updated, PvE section in the works. I liked the vid that you posted with the update. My only question about it is why you CD during a hard stun? I totally get the CD during low slash, but since your attacks wont break the hard stun wouldn't it be more beneficial to just continue with your harder hitting abilities?

Xinika Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I totally get the CD during low slash, but since your attacks wont break the hard stun wouldn't it be more beneficial to just continue with your harder hitting abilities? Not necessarily. It depends on the situation, what cooldowns you have and what cooldowns your opponent has. In that specific situation, I wanted to make certain he was defeated with absolutely no chance of surviving. If I were to use hard attacks there would be the chance he may still slip away. In that case, however, I had practically everything I needed to assure the overkill. The idea I had was to vanish out and reopen with a Spike to further lock him out, but he managed to counter that, which by then he was already too low on health to do anymore.

IInox Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) good! Maybe for someone it would be confused (my english is not so good) about definition of burst phase that I mean Burst phase is just a SHORT window of fight (as i wrote, SoA..kephess ) where we have 10s or less where to do highest dps possible and especially at the end of this window we would prefer to use shadow strike than a project or a force breach for example, otherwise always follow the 5rules. And I want to underline the project>shadow strike because I see many player "cutting" circling shadow buff using shadow strike instead project. (even some players that thinks to "stomp" others ) Thanks xinika! ps; can you exlain me cuz u choose crit relic on pvp? because bonus dmg from main stat is really good Edited March 29, 2014 by IInox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilirubin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Getting dragged back into some PvP on my Shadow tank. I am valor 55 but have only ran 2 warzones since returning to TOR last August after a year away, so I am really behind in the metagame...as a tank do I still want to run in DPS gear or actual tanking gear? Do I use the partisan implant/conqueror earpiece I seem to have and just go bolstered PvE gear until I get my Obroan stuff or can I use my Battlemaster/War Hero set (which I note still has expertise on it)?

Do I use the partisan implant/conqueror earpiece I seem to have and just go bolstered PvE gear until I get my Obroan stuff or can I use my Battlemaster/War Hero set (which I note still has expertise on it)? It really depends on your interests. If your interest is to tank in regular warzones, then yeah you probably want to not only spec like a tank but also actually BE one. But if the ranked scene is what you are looking at.. the rules slightly change. However, am I correct in assuming that is not what you are after? Since I could almost write a book on things you need to do.. but if im going to be doing so for no reason that'd be a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IInox Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hey i was thinking that i've never asked you how you would build the full infiltration tree. many many mounths ago I was sure about the """classic"""" 7/36/3 but now taking in mind that accuracy is useless..and that I got the importance of dmg reduction, I'm not sure how to build it. At least I'd put 5 point into madness for the +9%crit chance melee and the 2%dmg reduction, and 2 points on kinetic for the dmg increase to clayrv. so, which build would you build up? (just forget for a moment the hybrid build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolixe Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 7/36/3 is the full infi pvp build. You don't take the skill for the accuracy, you take it for the ArP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IInox Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ok nice, I thought it changes somehow, I always played this build when I played full deception but now i wasn't sure anymore LoL. ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
