New Class Anouncement: Jedi Consular

I lulz at the fact that you can just switch specializations at any moment.

It's like how I'm can't dance but I can play games, and could just say 'I'M GOOD AT DANCIN' NAO" And go disco partying.

After reading one of Darthhater.com's articles, they go into a little more detail about that and I guess you can't switch back and forth until you unlock both paths, so presumably there are quests involved in unlocking each one.

Jedi Consular is a range class that specializes in force powers over Melee.

 

Ehm. Did you click the link? Just wanted to make sure I didn't just foolishly watch a consular fighting in melee...

 

I haven't read some articles though, if you could link me a source that says they are ranged, I'd appreciate it :)

They are primarily a ranged / support class, but of course they can also do melee fights, they are Jedi...

 

Hmm...a mix between Priest and Paladin from WoW then? Where the Jedi Knight will be a mix between Warrior and Paladin? It's hard not to compare it to WoW honestly...

I don't really see a similar class in WoW for the Consular, because their two specializations are healing / buffs and then ranged dps, but they can also hold their own in melee combat, so at first you'd think priest and mage, but obviously they are cut down quickly if an enemy gets to them. I'm not really sure if there will be a difference in their melee ability for whether they are a healer or dps though.

Yeah...I just have a little trouble defining what they really are. :) But Priest/Mage sounds good :)

What's with the double-bladed lightsaber? It's not preferred by Consulars in every other era. I can't find any Consular who uses a double-bladed lightsaber. In KotOR, it was mostly efficient for the Guardian, so I assumed the Jedi Knight, who's supposed to be the combat-oriented class, would benefit more from a double-bladed lightsaber than a class that specializes more in ranged combat. I guess not.

Yeah I didn't particularly care for that either. Honestly I am not a fan of Jedi using double bladed lightsabers at all, but at least the screenshots of the Consular have a single bladed so it's not mandatory.

Perhaps it would be useful; a weapon that does a lot of damage could be a useful fallback when your Force Bar is depleted.

I'm thinking they went with the double-bladed for consulars because I'm betting the vision, at high levels especially, for the jedi knight and sith warrior involve heavy armor, which makes it hard to jump around like Darth Maul. So they just stuck the double-blade with the cloth wearing consulars.
