SWTOR Jedi Knight Guardian Vigilance PVP 1.6 Build

Form: Shien Form

PVP Stat Priority: Expertise > Strength >= Accuracy (until 105%) > Critical Rating (until 30%) = Surge Rating (until 75%) > Power/Force Power

The Guardian in PVP can be one of the most frightening classes to deal with. Uniting a high amount of survivability, average damage output, and plenty of utility, the Guardian is a very versatile PVP class.

Due to your versatility, you can focus on either being defensive (defending objectives, healers, or carriers) with your great CC and survivability, or focus on being offensive (killing enemy healers or carriers, capturing points) with your damage output and CC. Use your flexibility to adapt to what your team is lacking or needs support in.

Opener Rotation: Saber Throw > Force Leap > Sundering Strike > Plasma Brand > Overhead Slash > Blade Storm (with Force Rush)

Multiple Target/AOE Rotation: Sundering Strike > Force Sweep > Cyclone Slash > Strike

Make sure to use Combat Focus on cooldown to help with your Focus generation.

Defensive Cooldowns:

Saber Ward – your go-to survivability skill. Great for carrying the ball, defending a point, and generally not dying.
Enure – a good skill if you need just a few more seconds of life to get that heal or kill.
