None of the Infiltration Shadow's abilities rely on a status effect placed on your target, meaning you'll experience no damage falloff from target swapping. While we call the Infiltration spec the 'burst-DPS', it fares well in other areas too, which has made it a highly popular class for both endgame PvE and PvP. Unlike the other Consular subclass, Sage, which focuses above all else on casting and ranged combat, the Jedi Shadows are a melee class blending Force-based abilities with lightsaber attacks, using multiple abilities that can quickly close the distance between them and the target.
It is mirrored by the Deception Assassin.
Of the three specializations Jedi Shadow players can choose from, Infiltration fills the burst-DPS role, with Kinetic Combat being the Tank discipline, and Balance being the other DPS spec.
