To start off, Ive played a Smuggler Gunslinger to level 50. Ive ground everything to max, and I raid regularly on it with my guild. I absolutely love the class. The sheer amount of single target DPS and combination of nuking power/strategy made the class perfect for me.

Thus saying, Im use to the class and I know how to play it. It's fairly easy now.

Well, Me and my Brother decided to reroll Alts to play with family members who were just starting. He chose a Consular sage - and Me tired of ranged DPS decided to roll a Shadow Tank for the group.

All I can say is that I was amazed on how pleasantly easy it is to play. I don't die near instantly, the DPS is fairly acceptable, PvP is a faceroll, plus the switch in game rolls is nice.

Now combine this with the amazing damage reduction (Honestly, I tank better with it then I did on the Vanguard) the stealth, the Cc's. My Gosh - Bioware babied this class. Not complaining, I actually wanted to thank you for it

I love being able to get 8-10 medals in PvP
