eviljezza Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hello everyone, now when the servers come back I plan on making a Jedi consular in the mold of qui-gon, now my question is this: Is the Jedi Sage the right class that was qui-gon in the movies, I see him using his lightsaber more than the force, which would be of a jedi knight class but he has a green lightsaber. Or maybe a Jedi shadow using a single-saber or would that seriously gimp my character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheldras Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) well.. Sage: Telekinetic attacks, Saber is only for show, at later levels you will only parry with it, as your 2 Melee-attacks are very very very weak at higher levels. Shadow: Using a single blade gimps your character in combat forms (Stances), and i think some attacks = Useless. The only Jedi Type in SWTOR with a single Blade, that actually gets used, is the Guardian(Knight)... wearing heavy armour.. but then, there is plenty of heavy armour that looks not heavy... the knight also has Force Push wich is quite iconic, and force leap. So if you want a Qui-Gonn - style look, you better go with Knight (if you can stand the classes Mechanics).

eviljezza Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah that's what I was afraid of, I already have a Jedi sentinal so maybe i'll hold this off for some time then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheldras Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Try shadow. I personally like the Doubleblade-Look. Only thing miss on Shadow is force leap. And you stil can RP a Qui-Gonn`sy char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmasterub Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Qui-gon used Ataru form combat. In SWTOR the sentinel has this. Qui-gon (and yoda) used the single blade version. Sentinels use the dual blade version which was demonstrated by anakin vs dooku in episode 2. Qui-gon is definitely a jedi knight in this game.

Bewoulff Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Most Jedi's in the movies are going to be Knights. Jedi Shadow is going to be more Darth Maul/ Bastila from KOTOR. Jedi Sage is... well... a powerful force user. So I'd say it's Yoda without the Lightsaber Techniques. Obi Wan was also a adept force user, but again he was more of the Jedi Guardian with his purely defensive fighting posture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabioMartinazz Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well... The game wont give to you a jedi consular exactly equals the movie. Yoda is a jedi consular, but he uses the force to enpower his saber skills. Cause of this he can be a deathmatch with his lightsaber. I think that jedi consulars (the ones that focus on the force) are much better than jedi knights (in the movies). Maybe in the begin of the training not, but when he reachs the top... he's almost unbeatable. The problem is that to make a class so unbalanced like this in a MMO is a real problem. Almost all the players that wants to play as jedi would select this class instead of the knight, and it would not be good. I usually says that Jedi consulars acts like wizards in D&D. They're weak in the begin but very powerfull later, but in MMOs we need balanced classes. Well, that's my opinion. If you like Quigon-Jinn personality (your quest in the game): Jedi Consular If you like his kind of battle (your fights in the game): Jedi Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheldras Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well one can always roleplay a Knight serene and Qui-gonn-like. Qui-Gun just never nad to put up with a redhaired irritation like Kira OP said he has a Sentinel at 50.. so i guess, playing a Guardian ist what he had in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
