EpicRedSquirrel- Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hi all, I've recently made a Sith Assassin only to learn that the channed Force Lightning ability is specific to the Sorcerer. This has been an issue suggested before but since nothing had changed I thought I'd post something here. I think this ability should be available to both advances classes, as a Sith Inquisitor ability. It makes very little sense to not be able to use it in combat but all the time in cut scenes. I know we get 'Shock' but it's hardly the same or as satisfying as the channeled Force Lightning. I know the same is the case for Telekinetic Throw not being available on the Jedi Shadow. So if Force Lightning was made available for the Assassin, to keep it fair the corresponding ability should be granted to the Shadow. I just feel more strongly about Force Lightning due to the use in the cut scenes seeming nonsensical if it can't be used in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saregon Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It used to be a shared ability, but that went away when they did away with starting as an "inquisitor"...Now that you pick your advanced class in character creation, they did away with some of those shared abilities, but there are still a few...just not the one you want.

DarkTergon Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I like force lightening, and miss it. Maybe a 'bring back the light (ening)' should be started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicRedSquirrel- Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Definitely! I think it should be a Sith Inquisitor ability and therefore available to both advanced classes. Otherwise it's super jarring to use it as an Assassin in cut scenes but not able to in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xordevoreaux Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Can we add leaping to target to my sage consular healer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertimtaf Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Tank Assassin still has Depredating Volt. It's Force Lightning but better as you can use it while moving. And Discharge as well. But nobody cares about this one I guess. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a dime store brandy trying to pass itself of as Cognac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xertal Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I would like to have that shared ability in my assassin, independently of what Sith Assassin offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
