I just played the Sage quest line on Alderon, and when you fight the Jedi Master at the end, she has a channeled ability that looks awesome. She chucks big rocks with this awesome animation, similar to a channeled project. The animation asset is already in the game, and it's a channeled ability just like the terrible looking pebble storm (TK Throw). Why not replace TK throw with this cool animation? If you added this animation in, I wouldn't play any other class, that's how cool it is. Please give that animation to the sage, preferably in place of TK throw.

I am just wondering if it is economical dps wise, or if stealth and backstab are more effective in the long run. Just trying to see how more experienced people play their ops

They have fun gameplay for sure, and I love the backstory, but I have to agree that they need a wider array of skills. The same old knife attacks again and again get old. Also, hidden strike u dont get to level 36 or 37 and it's your bread and butter sneak attack. Which is totally retarded game design. I would like to see more variation in the attacks, maybe some martial arts moves and stuff. Its all knife, knife, knife, backstab, repeat.

Shoulds ops being using their agent abilities like snipe, cover system and explosive drone? Or is it all running around backstabbing?

anyone?

So I am playing my operative and wondering if cover is still a viable combat option. Do operatives still use their imperial agent abilities like explosive drone, cover and snipe? or is it all running around backstabbing people?

Really? What moron thought of this idea? Non force users running around throwing force lightning and casting force choke? I mean really?

The masters were defeated in order 66 by deception, not open combat. Lord Malgus is an equal to Satele. The jedi in the colloseum all faced incredible numbers. The video of the trooper taking out sith was just a marketing pack of BS to boost trooper rolls. You really think a soldier stands a chance verse a force user? And you call one failed headbutt melee combat?

Yes, but there was a difference between Maul, and Dooku. Maul was a genuine apprentice, Dooku was a full fledged sith lord. Maul was never refered to as a Sith Lord, only as an apprentice. Maul was a new apprentice of Sideous

I see your point, but there is a way of trying to be subtle about the massive time skip for entertainment value purposes.

Maul was an apprentice, not a sith lord. L2SW

The only master in the colosseum was Windu. The rest were regular jedi, and all they could manage to gather, as was said in the story. Like I said, the title of master is only given to the most powerful jedi alive. So by killing a master, that is like killing Satele.

First of all a couple things... There is a reason they are called MASTERS. Luke Skywalker has the same power in his blood as the lord he beat. And Grievas was not a Sith Lord

Anyone agree?

I mean come on, Anakin Skywalker was gifted in the force too, you did not see him soloing Count Dooku 3 days after finishing the trials.... You did not see him POwning Yoda. The whole storyline is a joke and a disrespect to Star Wars. Am I really the only one that thinks it feels really ridiculous to be taking out MASTERS so early in the storyline? It totally kills the experience for my consular, which sucks because I like the class itself. Whoever wrote the consular story did a terrible job. Jedi masters train for many many years. Masters like Dooku, or Sideous often require several jedi to take down. Only when Anakin reached his full potential with his extrodanairy gifts, was he able to defeat Dooku.
