Jedi Shadow Builds (updated for patch 1.2)

Jedi Consulars in SWTOR can become one of two advanced classes at level 10, a Sage (Healer / DPS Class) or a Shadow (DPS / Tank class). The Shadow uses a double-bladed lightsaber for defence and DPS. Shadows have three trees to choose talents from: Balance (DPS tree), Kinetic Combat (Tank tree) and Infiltration (a shared DPS tree shared with the Sage Class).

Below I will list the best shadow builds to use for your Jedi Consular so you do not have to waste valuble play time figuring out what shadow builds work :)

If you wish to submit a shadow build please email it to admin@shadowbuilds.com. When you email in your spec please have a link to your build, clearly list what it is for and any other relevant information I should know about this shadow build.

Changes made to the Jedi Shadow class in patch 1.2:

•Deflection's visual effects are now more noticeable.
•The Unity ability has been removed from the Jedi Consular class. A similar ability can now be unlocked through the Legacy System.
•Force Slow's visual effects now begin and end at the correct times.
•Mass Mind Control: Updated this tooltip to correctly state that the ability does not break stealth. The ability's functionality has not changed.

Kinetic Combat
•Kinetic Ward's appearance now refreshes properly when reapplied.

Balance
•Force Synergy's activation effects are now more visible.
•Force in Balance no longer heals the caster if no targets are hit.
