HELLO!
Attachment 664
Dark Jedi in SWG are power houses in small scale pvp, pve, and dueling; how ever neither Jedi are ideal for large scale PVP or for war zone style pvp.
in order to make a well balanced DSJ you will have to decide on a few things do you want to be either.
A) a power house of damage
B) focus more on defense
both options above are viable how ever my personal pick is option B). why? well Dark Jedi have natural DPS and some natural tanking elements, DPS from 100% armor pen with lightning based power's and tanky from the force choke line to reduce targets damage by x%.
this build is mostly for PVE, and can work for Dueling but it is not built around it.

2< con 2< agil - con and agil are our 2 main stats out of the 3 to stack first and fore most
4< glancing blow - this is our main defensive exotic stat
3< sweep/strike damage - this is to help us get to the next row but also does increase our damage with those when and if we use it
1< force cloak - same as above but this can help us get a slight jump in a duel (you may replace this and 1 of the sweep/strike points and put into strength)
1< saber parry - this is important for tanky builds gives our saber block a nice boost 3< improved saber block - greater usage of saber block
---------------------------------------path tab-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4< remorseless nature - grants us more stamina while in the jedi focus
4< brutality - more crit chance 4< ruthless precision more % damage
1< dark lightning - more powerful force lightning line
2< tempt hatred - A Jedi gains a 2% percent of action per point spent from damage by tempting hatred in that opponent, while in a focus.
1< choke - force choke ability
1< maelstrom - Aoe force lightning ability
1< force drain - our damage/heal ability (shares cooldown with normal self heal)
2< improved choke - increased initial damage and DOT damage
4< wracking energy -Increases Force Lightning, Force Mealstrom and Force Drain armor penetration by 25% per point. Adds a snare to Force Lightning and increases snare duration by 2 seconds per point.
3< improved drain - increased healing
2< strangulation - decreased targets damage output

Basic 35 Stats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Constitution: Adds 8 max points to your Health Bar and 2 max points to your Action bar for every 1 point.
Agility: Affects Dodge, Parry and Evasion Chance
Strength: Affects Block Chance, Block Value, Hit Chance, and adds a damage bonus to melee attacks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exotic Stats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glancing Blows: The damage reduction from a glancing blow has been reduced from 96% to 60%. In addition, Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player), have a natural chance to receive a glancing blow.
Crit Hit Reduction: Reduces the amount of damage a Critical Hit will deal to you.
Block
Block is a defender attribute that has a chance to mitigate additional damage based on the defender's block score. Block mitigation is applied after armor so it is possible to reduce incoming damage to 0 with a high enough Block Value.
(Block Value + Strength) / 2 + 25 = Block Value
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entertainer Buff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ent Buff Vs PvE (Tanking)
Glancing Blow
Action Cost
3,000 to both Armors
rest into Con or Agility
Ent Buff VS other Dark Jedi
Glancing blow
Action Cost
12% 2nd chance
Full Con or Agility
Rest into the stat above you did not pick.
*tip* do not get armors vs other Dark Jedi due to the 100% armor pen from lightning based abilities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meditation Buff Options
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
images.jpg meditate.jpg
Meditation is a special ability Jedi can use after collection all the jedi 1-5 and sith 1-5 holocrons of the meditation collection once collected you may use the ability to get 1 of 3 random buffs which in include
Vision of the Past (current version) grants block chance and block value *it is the blue color buff*
Vision of the Present: grants strike through and strike through value *it is a pinkish red color*
Vision of the Future: grants strength and % Critical Chance *it is a white color*
which one should we choose? either vision of the past or vision of the future
(remember Strength: Affects Block Chance, Block Value, Hit Chance, and adds a damage bonus to melee attacks. so it is also defensive)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC Buff/Items
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Familiar Choice:
Use either the Gackle bat (gives strength/prec) or the mynok familiar (gives agility) ((optional)) the mouse droid (gives con) *i do not recommend it*
Mustafarian Injector: not much to say here this is an absolute MUST!
Jedi belt collection: This is an absolute MUST as a jedi it gives a nice bonus to stats when used with a jedi robe
*note* this works on nearly every jedi robe even the lvl 40 jedi robe's
Heroic jewelry: we have two options here
A)heroism and B) guardian
currently guardian is back to block chance and block value stats instead of the later glancing blow and crit hit reduction stats. while not as important to our build now but once it turns into the glancing blow version thats when we will use guardian.
so we will be using Heroism, remember the golden rule in most situations "better to pick flat stats than to go with random chance" *looking at you dark furry*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power Up's
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what are power ups? these are item buffs that include shirt/armor/weapon *note* armor power up works on jedi robes
they can use either normal stats like strength or they can use exotics like critical chance you want to have these reflect you're build focus.
so our exotics are glancing blow/crit hit reduction/ and block chance
we can use any combination of the three stats above depending on situation. here are a few examples...
Example 1) when you are fighting a npc or player who is a critical chance build you might want to use 1 glancing blow and 2 crit hit reduction power up's
Example 2) when you are against normal NPC's or Players not focused on Critical chance we may use 2 glancing blow and 1 crit ht reduction (just incase they do get a crit or 2 off)
Example 3) when we are against NPC's only we might want to use 2 glancing blow 1 block chance or 2 block chance and 1 glancing blow either or works.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rotation and play style
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark Jedi is rather simple to pick up rotation wise here is a normal encounter
force choke: to apply damage reduction > force lightning > Maelstrom > force drain (if needed)> repeat
you might be wondering why no sweep or jedi strike in the rotation? we are dark jedi our focus is force power damage using either of those is wasteful to our stamina when we are solo playing. we want to conserve stamina for boss's and other elites. how ever if you have a officer in the group then spam away with a good officer you will never run out of stamina.
*important note* let the global cooldown finish after use of lightning or maelstrom. if you try to use one after the other rapidly it has a high chance of setting both of them on cooldown without actually firing the ability.
our goal as a tank dark jedi is to gather up groups of NPCs with maelstrom and to apply force choke and the toughest NPC, just like any tank we are to keep everything off the healers and officers and all others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saber's and Crystals
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lightsaber's allow jedi to parry ranged attacks as well as melee and is only usable by jedi players, there are several types of saber's out there but the good news about Dark Jedi is, our Saber is not as important to use as a Light Jedi; not to say it is not important to us DSJ but we do not rely heavily on it. Here are some options

NOTE: Due to high spawn rates, single targets, and the handy location of a cloning center, the pirates at the Imperial Outpost on Talus are the easiest way to loot an Apprentice Robe. This is not true. The Pirates at the Imperial Base drop little to nothing in loot or robes.
NOTE: As of August 3, 2008, the pirates in the Imperial Outpost on Talus do drop the Apprentice Robe though it is extremely rare (1 out of 400-500 kills).
NOTE: Looted the Light Apprentice Robe from one of Vladlun's Henchman inside the bunker at the given waypoint while running the quest Vengeance, Part 2. Got the drop in exactly 16 kills. Mob levels range from 52-54 so this seems to be a good place to farm your robe.

Notes:
Due to the stronger security in Theed it is possible to loot it from the high level Imperial NPCs. For Imperial Jedi, it is also possible to loot the jedi knight robe from the Rebel NPCs at Nashal. This is a good spot and with non stop robe hunting in the area it would take no more than an hour to find the one you are looking for.
With this robe equipped, you can't wear pants, boots or cloaks.
When worn by Ithorians or Trandoshans, the boots are invisible.

Light icon Defeat Bre'ano Umakk
Click the Light Jedi Statue on Dantooine at /waypoint dantooine -4218 4248.
Requirement: Stay defended for 3 minutes against the Light Jedi Bre'ano Umakk
Dark icon Defeat Quillara Adeen
Click the Dark Jedi Statue on Yavin 4 at /waypoint yavin4 -2152 7234.
Requirement: Kill the Dark Jedi Quillara Adeen.
As a Jedi, you have to challenge Umakk Bre'ano the Light Jedi and Quillara Adeen the Dark Jedi, ancient statues and guardians of buried knowledges.
Defeating these powerful foes is a necessary step in the Trials you have to go through in order to complete your destiny as a Jedi. This is not only about taking down opponents, this is about proving that you understand perfectly how to use your powers, in due time and when necessary. This is about proving your value.
You can't get an external help during the fights, or you will be considered unworthy and lose the Trial.
The rule of 2 : timing and patience.
Don't expect to get out alive of these encounters by throwing all your tricks in the shortest time. Timing.. you'll prevail only if you manage to use your Jedi skills at the right time. Patience.. you won't win these fight the first time, keep faith and challenge them again until you succeed. The Trials are also heavily based on how many buffs you have..
Umakk
Umakk Bre'ano

Dark Jedi Guide for Umakk Bre'ano:
This guy is complete cake if you time everything right. You don't need to use any fancy stance switching to beat him or worry about debuffs.
What you do is make a new toolbar with the following on it:
Force Drain 1
Saber Block
Heal Stim
I kid you not, its this simple. Get full Medic buffs, and take an Officer and a Commando with you. Have them fire off their buffs and have the Officer drop some heal stims, then start the fight. Now just stand there and hit him with Force Drain 1 while cycling your saber block. Do note though, that you will want to wait until you have only 1/3 of your health left before firing the drain or else you will kill him and fail. It takes a good number of the drains to kill him and fail but I didn't chance it and don't recommend chancing it. Remember to hit the heal stim right after hitting drain in order to be 100% sure to heal as much as possible.
The timing is tricky-ish, but you'll beat him. It's much easier than everyone makes it up to be. You might fail a couple times, but I can say that once I used this method, as a Dark Jedi, I beat him first try. If you are a Light Jedi, direct your attention to the guide below.
Light Jedi Guide for Umakk Bre'ano:
Running this npc is similar to what one might expect while trying to land a plane. You don't want to focus entirely on your view port as you have important instraments to watch. I barely even looked at the action on the screen. Instead, you have to watch for the debuff and cool down timers of your actions. Fortunately, the debuff icon now shows under your buffs so identifying it is pretty easy.
Now that you have taken a little bit of damage, activate your GCW buffs if you have them.
At this point you are probably nearing the need to heal. Before you heal, you must activate your stance! This will get you the full 10k heal. This is because with your focus active, the debuff he offered will not affect your heal while in stance. So click on your stance, fire your heal and saber reflect. Some may advise against the reflect as it causes damage to the npc. However, it also doubles your alacrity which is very important. The damage done to the npc is minimal compared to the amount of protection it offers. Your not supposed to be attacking anyway so the amount of damage from this one buff will be miniscule in comparison. (If you really want to use saber reflect make a 1th generation training saber to use for the trial. Since reflect is based off your saber damage you will do less damage to him with it). As soon as stance cools down, fire off your focus! This will ensure that if you are debuffed again, it will not be the one that cuts your heal in half. (thanks to masselin for pointing out that saber reflect must be fired off while stance is active)
The two icons are best described as being brown and green. There are pictures in them, but under the circumstances, you won't see what they are. The brown one is up while you have focus, the green while you have stance. There is a possibility that he may fire off the green debuff before you can activate your focus. If he does, just wait it out until you see it go poof or switch to the other one. Then get your stance back up, heal off and get back to your focus asap.
During this battle, your saber block should be cycling automatically. So the only things you need focus on, are the debuffs (which one is active), the cool down on your specials (heal and focus/stance), and rotating into your stance right before you heal, then back to your focus as soon as you can. If you have heal stims, you can time them accordingly in between your main heals. As I said though, I did not use them as I didn't have time to get any.
If you follow this path, you will succeed in defeating him. I cannot vouch for any other way as this is the only way I did it. I know others have completed in different ways, but I can guarantee that this one works. You may not get it on the first try as it takes some practice getting your stance up for a heal then back to focus in the 4 second span you have between the debuffs, but if you keep at it, and use this pattern, you will defeat him. Congratulations, control is now back in your hands.

Dark Jedi Guide for Quillara Adeen:
This statue is a bit more complicated for us Dark Jedi than Umakk is, due to the fact that we have to do what we do best which is deal damage. The strategem for this one is pretty standard, so have a look at the guide below. I can say though, that for whatever reason, when I fought this statue, my force drain 5 healed me 100%. So use the auto-attack and hit that force drain 5 when you are at about 1/2 health and you'll sort of tank her. The timing on this is kinda iffy, cause not only do you wanna use drain and auto-attack, but you also wanna smash her with your other attacks. Dish out the lightning/shockwave/grip slowly, as the debuff will kill off your health at the same rate your action goes, and I suggest leaving your saber attacks alone. Unless you get what I think was a glitch and drain 5 gets you a 100% heal like I did for me, then the tactics will be those used by Banessorrow below.
Banessorrow's Guide for Quillara Adeen:
Running this npc is similar to what one might expect while trying to land a plane. You don't want to focus entirely on your view port as you have important instraments to watch. I barely even looked at the action on the screen. Instead, you have to watch for the debuff and cool down timers of your actions. Fortunately, the debuff icon now shows under your buffs so identifying it is pretty easy.
The debuff situation on this one is more simplistic than the light side boss. You never need to change your stance out, so the only debuff you get will do the same thing (I actualy failed the first time today trying to switch them out, succeeded by leaving stance up the whole time). When you see the debuf icon, Do not fire ANY of your specials. The debuff takes your health away at the same rate you action goes. When you see the debuff, just focus on your health and let the auto attack do its job. Keeping saber reflect up helps alot. Just keep in mind that when you fire it off, if the debuff is up, you will take damage from it. If you have health to spare, it may be worth it. I didn't use specials much at all. I found that due to lag, the debuff was up before I saw it and I was crushing my health before I had time to react..
Now that you have taken a little bit of damage, activate your GCW buffs if you have them.
At this point you are probably nearing the need to heal.
During this battle, your saber block should be cycling automatically. So the only things you need focus on, is the debuff (so you know when you can fire your specials) and keeping track of your health so that you don't get dead. If you have heal stims, you can time them accordingly in between your main heals. I used a full set of Officer heals for this boss. Had I not had them I might not have made it. I did not have some offensive buffs active though as they were on cool down from the last attempt so you should be able to finish it without them if you have to.
Additional advices for Umaak
Run a saber block macro, force drain 1 or heal when you can. Do nothing else do not attack. Do not take the NPC's heath below 1/2 with drain. Just heal and SB.
Additional advices for Quillara:
Run a saber block macro and use saber reflect as much as possible, heal when you can. Just run auto attack. When you use action it depletes your health. For me saber reflect and auto attack did enough damage to kill the npc, when the npc was down to very little health I used the only two gcw buffs I had.
Additional advices for both statues:
What seems to work best (for both statues) is to of course get every buff you can, then wait 8 seconds after clicking on the statue to fire saber block and self heal, then during debuff stage, use officer stims. Once the debuff is over, fire Saber Block and Self heal again, then wash rinse repeat until completed.
Another thing to consider here is find a smuggler to land you on the ISD instance and then /eject as soon as you land then go attempt these. However, it might be considered as an exploit, no official position from SOE is known on the matter as of today.
Once all of these prerequisites are met, you will be able to visit any Force Shrine and use the Meditate (Ability) in front of it. You will be given the choice to get the Master Jedi Cloak which can either be the Cloak of Hate or the Shatterpoint Cloak.
It is has been confirmed that you can get both cloaks: drop one cloak in your house or a storage droid (not bank) and go get the alternate cloak at a Force Shrine.

I help this well detailed guide helps my fellow jedi lovers here (WOOO!) if you have any questions or if i left any important details out feel free to add to this.
The old saying "Practice makes perfect" it a lie, for it should be "Perfect practice makes perfect" because if you practice the wrong thing over and over you are just doing it wrong; but by giving them a bit of a hint allows them to go in a more focused direction for improvement. - Ninvus Oogoar
