Yes as they are two seperate effects, the damage reduction from an AoE taunt does not stack with other taunts

Because 24 seconds of 25% damage reduction makes you squishy

0/27/14 for whenever im solo attacking objectives 23/1/17 for huttball or node guarding 11/27/3 for when i feel like standing in the middle of their team never dying

I honestly would like to have a 4v4 and maybe even a 12v12 or 16v16 warzone

Best build for leveling, imo, is Khem Val. Knowing how to taunt swap with him is invaluable and will allow you to solo most, if not all, of the mobs you come across, regardless of spec. With the plethora of crowd control and defensive cooldowns a sin has, it is much more rewarding to play smart than it is to use a cookie cutter leveling spec.

Pull people out of stealth, stop cappers

You go 10 points into deception, but pass over 50% increased force regen and 25% damage reduction for 12/24 seconds for Creeping Terror?

Yes, all talents are persistent effects unless the requirements are stated. Ex. Induction in the Deception tree reads as: Increases the critical strike damage dealt by Maul by [15 / 30]%. In addition, Thrash, Assassinate and Voltaic Slash have a [50 / 100]% chance to grant Induction while Surging Charge is active, reducing the Force cost of your next Shock by 25%. Stacks up to 2 times. You will gain a persistent [15 / 30]% critical damage on Maul, but only gain the Induction buff, which reduces the cost of Shock, while Surging Charge is active.

No it does not

A priority system works much better than a static rotation. Assume every encounter starts from stealth Blackout(Dark Embrace is not active) Assassinate Maul(with Exploit Weakness) Discharge(with Recklessness/Static Charge) Shock(with Induction) Thrash(To grant Induction/Static Charge/Exploit weakness) Saber Strike

For PvP or PvE?
