Solo Single-Enemy Suggestion: In boss fights or longer fights with very little enemy deaths, consider Seething Defense to keep you alive longer.

Flashpoint Suggestion: The amount absorbed by this "mini ward" is actually pretty great and if you're taking damage in group content this is by far the best choice, as Rage Engine's cooldown reduction is acting on an ability that's already recieving pretty regular cooldown reductions elsewhere. If you really don't need the protection, go ahead and take Rage Engine anyway.

Each time you deal damage with a Force-based kinetic or energy attack, you generate 1 rage. Rage spending attacks have no cooldown during Enrage.

General Suggestion: The important part of this choice is "Rage spending attacks have no cooldown during Enrage." This enables a huge change to your rotation. Make sure your Furious Strike is off cooldown, and ensure you'll have a ton of Rage ready, then pop Enrage and use Furious Strike three times in a row. Your biggest attack with no cooldown is a HUGE amount of burst, especially if you managed to buff it with the optional Enraged Burst choice at level 23 right before the combo!

Flashpoint Suggestion: The increased range on Force Scream and extra damage from Force Push can be nice in group content because even if the target is immune to the knockback effect, it should still trigger your enhanced Force Scream. You can take this as default unless you'd like the faster force charge from Warmonger.

Reflects all direct single target ranged, Force, and tech attacks back to the attacker for 5 seconds. The damage done by each reflect is capped. In addition, Saber Reflect generates a high amount of threat on all engaged enemies within 30 meters when activated.

General Suggestion: One of the most popular abilities of the Juggernaut, this reflect allows you to deal pretty great damage back to a boss/high damaging enemy while saving yourself. What it ends up being able to reflect can really differ from fight to fight, so if you're struggling with something specific try looking up a guide on the fight - most will mention what can be reflected. If nothing's reflectable or you'd prefer some mobility, Mad Dash is another super fun and easy to use movement attack you can choose.

General Suggestion: As a discipline that deals most of it's damage through kinetic means, armor is a big problem. Adding a sunder to your smash will result in a huge increase in AoE damage for you instead of applying it individually through Sundering Assault. If AoE isn't necessary, take Through Passion for a great survivability increase.
