CitizenWatch Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slafko Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If only I could remember what skills are available at that level... TBH, start worrying about threat generation once you hit 50 and have all skills available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 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.
