I've had this game for just over a day now, and I've picked up most of the basics (I think!), having played WoW a couple of years back. Due to computer issues, I haven't been able to get the game until very recently, but I've had a mental plan of which classes I want to begin the game with. Needless to say, I started with a consular - and after being given the choice to specialise, went with the Sage. I was thinking of going down the healer route, but I'm having considerable difficulties in combat compared to my Sith Warrior which I started today, and leveled twice as quickly.
In your opinion, was it a mistake to begin the game with a Sage? Would a Shadow be considerably easier; or should I just scrap the consular as a whole for a while, until I've level-capped my Juggernaut and maybe one or two other classes? Thanks!
