Shadow tanks... none of you guys?

I will not be tanking as a Jedi Shadow. I’ve planned on going the burst dps / stealth / crowd control build ever since I decided to play as a Shadow. This way, I can perform similar to a rouge from WoW.

After playing both the imperial agent and the assassin to 25, I honestly felt that the agent was more "stealth and gank" than the assassin. The assassin still gets a backstab and increased damage just after stealth ability. But the agent got quite a bit more stealth & ambush type abilities. The best way I can describe it is the assassin has more cast time ranged abilities that you still have to use during your rotation to maximize your damage. Where as the agent had more "instant" abilities at their disposal.

The again, this was just my impression. Both felt kind of rogue'ish though. So it's like apples and... other apples.

Maybe we (assuming I am offered a spot in the guild) should do another guild check just prior to the game going live, so that we can try to sort out any imbalances that pop up.

I personally plan to take the shadow infiltration route, and then when dual spec is made available I will try out the kinetic route. However, I am open to doing it the other way round if that will help balance things out while we all get settled into the game.

Cheers
