(HD) SWTOR PVP - 50 Shadow Tank

Typo spec is 31/10 not 33/10 at beginning of the vid.
Video was recorded post 1.1 launch

Video supports my guide located on the shadow SWTOR forums at http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=225827

It specializes in the newly revamped ability slow time, a 5% damage debuff and snare to all targets on an 8 second cooldown. I tried to get tougher fights in this video. There are only level 50 opponents

Awesome video, inspired me to spec kinetic combat :P lv40 so far should be 50 pretty soon. I wasn't really considering going tank until I saw this video because before I thought I would basically be poking people with a stick and hoping other people did enough damage to kill them while I did minor debuffing and slowing....but from the looks of this you can still pull off some decent damage which is good :P

@archchunk awesome stuff, spec is awesome and about to get better with the new patch

[jishnoob]

Only tank shadow/sin video I've found to be of any use or value. Underrated, for sure. When you made this video, what percentage was your expertise? Also, would you ever consider taking the two points you have in your third tree to reduce Thrash and Shock energy cost and put them in your Infiltration tree for Infiltration tactics? Or do you not find yourself using Shadow Strike often enough to talent that?

[Rhiraden]

@jishnoob  probably 600 ish expertise. and i dont use shadow strike in this spec hardly

I'd really like to get a better look at your keybinds, I've managed to link up more abilities to hotkeys from a 1080p screen shot :P Things like Mind Sap/Throw Rocks and Spinning Slash I can never make out the keys during your movies.

[Rhiraden]

@5jonesha but either way, mind snap is mousewheeldown, rocks is mousewheelup, and spinning slash is E

@DuckFTWXD hehe just listen to this and the official uploaded video and you will see :)

[TMzong]

[TMzong]

[Eyeball86x]

Powerr, in this video which gear did you use? By that I mean is it the dps set or tank set?

[HanzoGEAR]

@archchunk it's not 60% just because double strike hit's twice... It's 30% each time.. two tries at 30% does not stack to 60%. Basic math.

[Hendiabrado]

Stalker gear?

@Szotyimotyika Sorry I'm 100% sure it's a remix because that song sounds different (:
