New Server! New Fun!
I am actually excited to see this! On a Monday night, too!
The recent server transfers have lifted me from my previous home on the West Coast PvE server Lord Praven to the server Drooga’s Pleasure Barge. Aside from the fact that my previous server was named after one of the coolest Sith in the Jedi Knight’s storyline and my new server is named after the Hutt Drooga’s hedonistic mobile party platform, I have really enjoyed my stay so far on my new server!

Gunslinger Rotation Thoughts
LAST UPDATED: 6/18/12 for Patch 1.2.7
Up front – I will be honest – I am not a huge fan of set-in-stone rotations, as I primarily PvP, and that does not usually allow for rotations with no room for change. That being said, in PvE, I have discovered long fights can use a good rotation, so I usually do the following for each of the three specs. Read more…
PvP Talent Build: Shield Tech/Advanced Prototype Hybrid Powertech – 25/14/2
LAST UDPATE: Update 1.2.6
This is a PvP build for the Powertech. It is a hybrid between the Shield Tech and Advanced Prototype specialization trees.
Note: This build was created with the Darth Hater Talent Calculator. The link to view this build is here. The associated Vanguard build is here.
Class: Powertech
Primary Focus: Shield Tech
Secondary Focus: Advanced Prototype
Purpose: PvP
Goal: This build is about movement, interrupts, damage mitigation, and our favorite: Rocket Punch. This build incorporates Jet Charge, while taking both damage mitigation talents for a total of 9% damage mitigation while Ion Gas Cylinder is active. This build uses some shield-activated talents, but does not stack shield-chance itself, due to only being able to shield half of the damage types. Rocket Punch is buffed with a proc-based cooldown-reset, a boost to crit chance and damage, and a boost to direct damage.
Easily one of the coolest armor looks in the game
All points allocated are the maximum allowed for each ability, unless otherwise noted.

Sentinel/Marauder Advanced Class Guide
Welcome to the Sentinel/Marauder Advanced Class Guide! This is the go-to compendium of knowledge for The Fanatical Swordsman on the Sentinel and Marauder advanced classes.
LAST UPDATE: Update 2.3
Note from Geldarion: The Sentinel is my 3rd level 50, but it is actually one of my favorite PvP playstyles I have encountered. For readability sake, since I am used to the Sentinel, I will use the term Sentinel occasionally as the overall descriptor of this class-type, especially for things that are true of both classes, such as discussions of general tactics. However, I will refer to the specializations by both their names, and I will show builds for both the Sentinel and the Marauder, and I will refer to skills in a manner as such: Jedi Knight skill name/Sith Warrior skill name.
