Thanks dude! I loled so hard at getting benched and going back to serenity. Almost at 60 and finally stepping out of serenity to try the others and this is a really cool spec with cool animations. Looks like once I hit 60 more of your rotation will make sense, but for now, plenty fine!
My first toon was an infil shadow, I have somewhat neglected to learn a lot of the mechanics and tertiary stats for it since max leveling and it was because I didnt really understand it much (newbie lol) but I will definitely be referring back to your guide and apply your recommendations when i play :D thanks man
In playing around with this a little more, if you deal a Whirling Blow, it immediately sets your Critical Chance back 20%. If, however, you throw another Clairvoyant Strike, the 20% comes back immediately. Thanks for this guide! I've got my toon set up pretty much the same. I use Stalker's Swiftness with Shadow Stride because I can knock most tangos out within 10 sec. (and the game seems to give a grace period of about a second) and, honestly, the visual of the toon instantly whooshing off to the next target after an instant cooldown hits those reward centers in my brain. :) THANKS AGAIN!!!
Man, I find you to be sooo right! I didn't realize it, but at 60 the whole thing just changes. A lot of the stupid questions I had were due to it being a completely different class than you knew. I mean I am stupid but at least I don't want to sound stupid. lol. I can really feel that difference if I don't have the 2 stacks of CS at all times! As I am getting toward 70 and a higher GS it isn't that noticible as it once was, but I understand it now. The killick heroics and other heroics really give be a chance to use all of my kit because if i don't I will die. I just hit 68 and am at 219 GS and about half done with Alderann. This class I am glad I picked first, I just can't handle that consular sentinel Concentration/watchman/or combat. I guess I will get it eventually but 4 sets of rotations and trying to keep up zen and those 30 stacks I just am too new or potato to grasp atm. Plus where it started at 70 everything is a spoiler and I am so lost on all of that. I need to push through the story and grow into later game. Thanks man!
As of 7.1.1, Energized Blade will no longer give you an instant reset on Vaulting Slash (same for Imperial reskin of the same class). Instead, it only reduces the cooldown by 6 seconds.
So I went back to the game after last year and honestly I really like the new hud fro the character sheet and the new whole menu to create a new character! I'm hoping a graphic overhaul eventually. They should NOT let this game die. I love it!
Hell yea, thanks for another guide. Been meaning to play this spec myself. Once all the specs are accounted for, is there any chance of having a second pass done for PVP-centric parts of the spec? Like how you did a quick video for saboteur crits the other day.
for levelling I picket force magnetism instead of force wave because your always on the move and rarely in a fight where that much CC is necessary so the extra movement is better
thank you for the great guide, I just came back after a long hiatus and everything's different now... :( I just reached lvl 80 and I am doing the implant quest, do you have any videos about how to get top gear fast?
Great guide! I had a UI question if you could answer, how did you get those 5 verticle icons to show up, at first i thought it ws the buff tray but it doesn't seem like it. I normally play wow and have Weakauras set up similar to those but haven't figured out how to get them to show up in Swotr. I appreciate the help!
I will say this about Spinning Strike: it has a fairly quick cooldown itself (5 sec) and when it's available against a boss, it's an EXCELLENT filler if everything else you have is on cooldown (like when your luck runs out).
Any idea how to make the skills show up near the middle of the screen? Those 5 skill indicators. Also, I just hit level 80 and trying your setup. I am not hitting the rotation correctly.
I know you've probably already been asked this and answered this question. But where can I get the armor that is currently your cosmetic look. I really like the looks of it and would love to have it on my shadow. Thanks for the video you make very informative build videos.
Some burst fights infliltration for sure, but i have been playing with Biggs serenity guide and i must say it feels better overall even single target let alone in aoe fights. Long fights serenity is great if there are some down times not able to hit boss the dots still tick
Howdy! I just set that up as an action bar with a few slots visible and the scale jacked up, there’s a full guide here: th-cam.com/video/WotGfNiFKBg/w-d-xo.html
@@Linkforlife199 And you also get to use Vaulting Slash as an opener. If it's a weak mob, it's pretty likely to be an insta-kill, which, with the right utility, immediately resets the cooldown and grants 40% increased crit chance for the next 6 seconds. That's a pretty nice buff to have right at the start of combat.
The one that looks the coolest to you. Straight up. If you want to be a flavor of the month nerd, hatred assassin (serenity shadow) is doing very well, any of the powertech/vanguard specs are doing very well and both of the sorcerer/sage specs are doing very well. However, if you see a spec that looks cool that has a class fantasy that appeals to you, that is always what I recommend. For example, marksmanship sniper is dogwater right now, and it's still my favorite spec. Has been since 1.0.
while the idea of dual wielding lightsabers or double lightsabers sounds rad. Pretty much every Jedi and/or Sith that has used them in lore had gotten themselves wrecked some way or another when fighting single saber users... so yeah, cool concept, but not good justice done for them :/
half the time his talk sounds like gibberish. Im fine with hearing the explainations of how and why things work, but hes all over the place. GIVE ME the actual rotation in order, including activating buffs or shit in between any where. In order. He does it in other video's. (4 tellekinetic throws in a row for dps sage, dont fall asleep!) But not really Here. it gets very confusing and it should be kept simple.
Some discipline just plain don't support a fixed rotation like concentration sharpshooter, or assault spec. The cooldowns and procs just don't line up to make that possible in a high dps pattern. For specs like this, a priority system is superior. If thats not your style and you're not willing to try it out, this may not be the spec for you
Thanks Mark for the video. I just played my first PVP with this build. Got six kills no deaths. Your lesson on PVP helped as well. Love this build.

Hi Mark, love your videos. I'd love to see a TK/Lightning guide for current patch. Keep up the great videos!

Great vid. What Dualsaber style are you using?
I was wondering about the opener for this class. Like you showed an opener for the merc and command dps classes.
For someone returning to the game, would you recommend this or Kinetic Combat? Previously played with a Guardian/Tank.
I actually like them more than knights because (for pve) invisibility + u are able to use the force unlike the knight who only has his sword
vaulting slash isn't reset now. only 6 secs when crit hits. soo not happy
Finally, I can play this spec too... if I'm lucky :P
Any idea how to make the skills show up near the middle of the screen? Those 5 skill indicators. Also, I just hit level 80 and trying your setup. I am not hitting the rotation correctly.
I might not remember everything you said, but I know I won’t forget to always have 2 stacks of CS up. 😅
Thank you for this vid really helped me a lot. This is off topic, but is there a way to extract the Augmentation Kit MK-10 from your gear?
sadly there isn't
@@Weserator1379 Ugh that sucks. Ok thank you
I know you've probably already been asked this and answered this question. But where can I get the armor that is currently your cosmetic look. I really like the looks of it and would love to have it on my shadow. Thanks for the video you make very informative build videos.
That would be the furious mystics armor from ranked PvP, I think you can get it now with PvP seasons with the new tokens but not positive on that
Can i still use this build and rotation for 7.2?
What is your pve relic recommendations? I never hear you speak on that.
How can I get this priority system? Is this a addon?
So do i need to keep up clairvoyance? lol seriously tho great video ty
Now I need to figure out if infiltration or serenity is better.
Lmao same I gotta figure out whether madness is better or Lightning
serenity if you play pve, idk about pvp
Some burst fights infliltration for sure, but i have been playing with Biggs serenity guide and i must say it feels better overall even single target let alone in aoe fights. Long fights serenity is great if there are some down times not able to hit boss the dots still tick
@@asamibeniko both are good. madness is better in aoe and pretty similar in single target so I use madness now. It just looks worse imo.
@@indianhacker9062 ok thx man
how does one keep clairvoyance on a target when it's a personal buff? it's like saying apply lucky strikes to your target lol
was this intended as a pvp guide? it seems some fundamental basics to pve dps have been overlooked in the trait tree
Hey mark, how do I get the action bar in the middle of my screen like yours
Howdy! I just set that up as an action bar with a few slots visible and the scale jacked up, there’s a full guide here: th-cam.com/video/WotGfNiFKBg/w-d-xo.html
Would love to see kinetic combat shadow

Hey Mark, are you PVEing for the 329 gear rating? BW hasn't figured out some of us only play for PVP and have no desire to PVE at all.
I’ve been passively doing raids in the background, but tbh it doesn’t have an impact with the stat squish down to 326 in PvP
Am I just stupid and there is a reason why he never shows the relicts in his videos?
hi mark can u tell me robe name please?
I for and foremost wanna sneak through all the mobs to complete quests faster.
Doesnt hitting from stealth give some kind of buff?
It is recommended to start from stealth for more burst since you have the Shadow's Respite passive.
@@Linkforlife199 And you also get to use Vaulting Slash as an opener. If it's a weak mob, it's pretty likely to be an insta-kill, which, with the right utility, immediately resets the cooldown and grants 40% increased crit chance for the next 6 seconds.

what spec would u suggest a new person playing :)

Do you have a PVE guide? I don't care or PVP
No Shadowcraft-Cleaving Cut-May Cause Injury, I see... Ah, someone doesn't do solo content! :P
yeah we keep quiet about that pve dps group taunt
What armor is that you are using?
furious mystics set from ranked pvp with a green dye
Getting Bots in comments, the true sign of breaking 1 million views. Congrats!
what outfit is your guy wearing?
Its a furious mystic
What kind of amor is that?
That would be the furious mystics armor from ranked pvp
