Ok I have decided my main is going to be a Jedi Guardian. But I'm trying to decide which skill tree to go down. I'm leaning toward Vigilance, what to you guys think? any recommendations? Also does it make more sense to put all my points into one tree at a time or mix it with defense?

Do you want to DPS or Tank? or something in between?

Vigilance is the DPS tree fir the Guardian
where as the Defence tree is the Tank
Focus is going to give you a DPS build that has some CC built in.

Defense offers the highest survival in this set of three trees... but I can see someone in the Vigilance or Focus tree being a most excellent off tank. So I guess I didn't help you much... huh...?

See, my plan was to score major brownie points by being a noble Guardian Tank, since there are usually so few tanks and so many DPS (even though I prefer melee DPS as a playstyle.) Now it seems like every Jedi Knight in the entire guild (and a lot of the troopers and consulars) are planning on tanking.

So I'm pretty close to just going Sentinel. XD

Oh yah. you + 3 vs. you + 7 vs. you + 15

the more people the harder the boss hit the more you will want to be in defence

Flashpoints where are 4 mans are more liegent to being in other trees.

I was going to go Tanking Guardian until I saw a Tier-7 power called "Plasma Brand" at the top of the Vigilance tree...

At this point I plan to have a knight for my main. However, being new to skill trees like these, I am not sure where I will focus my points on. I am leaning towards being a Hybrid build with some everywhere. I really like the Riposte based skills, so may hunt those down.

Thanks,
Duncan
