mbmag Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Leveling my consular has been challenging for me so far. Does anyone have a spec or strategy that worked well for them that they'd be willing to share? Thanks
Raltharos Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Im leveling tank. I would not recommend doing so, best is probly balance due 2 the heals you get in combat and the damage
Pencilstubs Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I went Balance until I got Force in Balance and the two talents that reduce its force cost. Then I put the rest in Infiltration. It's worked well so far
ZenBones Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 To the OP: Sage or Shadow? And how far along? I'm level 16 shadow. Not real far, of course.. but putting my points into Balance. It works well for me. Trash mobs die pretty fast. I just hit Breach and Project on the way in, and then spam double-strike with an occasional additional Project or Force Wave. Faceroll to win. I only have to be more strategic on the bosses and the like. You can't just run in on the elites. I'll use the force lift and stuns to take a few guys out of the fight briefly, then start into the main attacks. Still relatively straightforward.
Ramuk Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I have gone mainly Infiltration till now, it gets a lot better once you have Mind Maze for a 60 second CC for tough mobs and Whirlwind for normal aoe mobs.
Heretician Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I am a level 20 Shadow and went 100% into Infiltration. I noticed most have been going Balance for leveling, but with my tank companion -- I have absolutely no problem leveling and considering Infiltration is the Single Target Direct Damage skill line, I destroy elites and bosses. Dealing about 600 damage per backstab and can take out most mobs in 1 or 2 hits. The only problem I have at all is fighting a large group of trash mobs because I only have 1 aoe, although my companion has an aoe to go along with it. I am happy with Infiltration that is for sure although I think my build is heavily dependent on my companion & as well I am playing alongside of my cousin who is a Jedi Guardian which is 100% synergy with my Infiltration Shadow.
Fardarter Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I am level 35 right now. I have been 100% balance the whole time without any problems. Looking at the trees I think all options are viable. I played kinetic combat and infiltration builds in beta and they were great too. The only reason I am going balance is from the onset I wanted to play a melee ranged hybrid.
hunaxor Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 34 here and full balance, I am loving it. Using a healer companion and tanking technique while solo questing. I can beat pretty much anything, and my Force in Balance AoE is doing like 1k damage. Groups are fine, for bosses I have enough dps and dots and enough survivability thanks to tanking toggle. Works really great for me, I can even tank flashpoints like that, saved many boss fight already when tank is dead. Love this class.
