Shadow Tank Threat Generation


CitizenWatch

Recommended Posts

I am new to MMO's and my first character is a consular shadow. I really like the tank role in groups and am looking to improve my effectiveness. I was seeking someone's insight as to the best abilities to use as a shadow to generate the highest level of threat in addition to taunts and being in combat stance. I am currently a level 34. Thanks in advance for your help.

At that level your attack priority should be something like...

 

Spinning Strike > Force breach > Project > Double Strike or, with aoe pulls, force breach > spinning strike > project.

 

You've got two taunts and force pull is practically a third. Use force potency on cooldown and ensure that Kinetic Ward is up at all times without question. Threat shouldn't really be a large issue for you unless you're getting behind on gear. I find it quite important to keep your lightsaber hilt upgraded. If it's as much as four levels old you'll notice a stark dropoff in your damage and the same goes for the rest of your armor, really. If you can't afford the pieces to upgrade every item's mod/armoring/enhancement, start replacing with greens until you have enough commendations to buy pieces.
