Knight or Consular?

I'm going to start with a Knight, to learn the game. When I get to a certain point on Asvarduil, my Knight, I will make a Consular and Trooper as well.

[quote="Nempo"]I'll have to play through both jedi classes a lil bit to find wich suits me,
but I am totally 100% anoyed that knight 'HAVE' to wear armor.[/quote]

Just thought I'd point this out, there's a scene in the new dispatch vid, it looks like a jedi knight, (judging by his stature) that doesnt have armor on Very Happy

Now I am sort of leaning towards rolling a JC healer, but have Heruhl still be a JK rply...if you all think that would be ok.

I will play it, but I'm always an out and out melee class first, I just love melee more than anything else, so knight first, consular second Very Happy

Sylas, JCs will be meleers you know heh.
To get back force points they need to melee...add to that melee only skills that are high on the damage potential and you end up with the perenial 'glass cannon'. Be it acting like a rogue and all up in something's face or hiding in the mid field blastign away like a mage.

Healer JC will be support. The CCer will end up being a controller and damage machine.

Besides, would be pretty stupid of them to give Force Pull to a class that is weak to melee, do note that Force Pull...the act of pulling an enemy to you...is a JC ability.

Difference is, after watching all the combat vids. A JK wears that heavy armor and can take some nasty hits...the JC can't take those hits. the JC however seems damn resistant to force skills aswell as resistant to status effects.

I like the balances I am seeing so far in the game.

Heruhl...IMO if you plan on rolling a healer...RP a healer mate heh.

I want to get a melee but powerful force weilder, I like to stun or disable then finish off with the lightsaber rather than just hack and slash. Hopefully the Consular will allow this.

Which one will you be playing?

Consular, since with pax I'll have a Sith Warrior, should give me a nice balance of force and sabers.

consulars are healer by what i say with G4, it could be more choices beside healer, but knight is me, becues i like the whole rushing in blade first ready to fight on the front lines Razz

E3 had them take 1 specialist path and 1 primary skill tree of that path.

IE the Consular went down the support focus, thent he support specialized skill tree to become a healer.
