As you don't take cores out of rogue tree's except 0 in assassin, is there any reason for the 14/6 split over say 12/5?

As far as I can tell you'd lose diamond soul (a huge loss, I know), -2 BAB, -2 saves, -1 trap sense, and open up 3 levels for anything.

You'd not even need to spend AP in the new class to pick up saves & immunities (pally), save a feat (any magic class, which may thematically fit with your build), and so forth. Even just going 8 rogue would give extra sneak attack and improved uncanny dodge.

[dredre9987]

Are dodge, mobility, and spring attack really worth it?

I posted the build I enjoyed - I played it from 1 to 30 and it was much fun - I wanted Diamond Soul but you could alter - the general jist of the build is open for tweaking in various directions. I did 6 levels in rogue to make sure I had the skill points to keep all the essential skills maxed so I could effectively trap - which I did in Reaper group content successfully - even in Legendary Reaper I trapped successfully.

Are dodge, mobility, and spring attack really worth it?

I think they are extremely fun - remember spring attack is an aoe attack - so you get 3 aoe attacks with your lightsabers allowing you to crit multiple targets and PK them all. Very fun.

Worth a three feat investment? I have never messed with it since it was changed to an AoE.
