DPS Kinetic build

This is a build I put together in an experiment. It is intended to be for PvP. I am aware that the DPS is probably not good enough for high end PvE, though it probably is more sustainable than a traditional Infiltrator build.

 

I used a 22/15/0 build to get Stasis (20% Armor boost and out of stealth Spinning Kick), pick up Particle Acceleration and Bombardment to give a steady and moderately beefy Project by combining these with Circling Shadows, and including a constant +30% to Force Regeneration.

 

In case it wasn't obvious, this is not a tank, nor is it intended to be. You will be using a Focus and be in Shadow Technique form. In theory, unlike most Infiltrator builds, you can open with Shadow Strike since your initial Force Regen is 80% above base. Then you hit with a Force Breach. Then you spam Double Strike until either Find Weakness or Particle Acceleration procs and hit the respective ability. Hit Breach again as you are able.

 

Gear wise I would theorize you should be stacking Power, Surge, and Crit chance, in that order. In the opening, you may be using a lot of CC, so Willpower is more important than Endurance by far.

 

I was posting this for feedback, both to critique the build for tweaking and for a little theory crafting on its performance in PvP and PvE. Thanks in advance to those who take the time to look this over and get a good conversation rolling.

You may be on to something to allow for a variety in play but I would note that Particle Acceleration can only proc if you are using Combat Technique. You stated this is to be used with Shadow so may want to change using a point for that.

I noticed the same thing, the issue is that you don't seem to have anything that hits really hard in there or a way to setup much other than shadow strike. The build will work exceptionally well to stealth and shadow spam based on your high regen and stealth talents, but I don't see it standing up well in pvp.
