I would have to agree, although I did do the romance, I really did feel that it is like an older experienced man is taking advantage of a young, inexperienced, naive, seeking approval, and vulnerable female who just lost her father and world was seemingly crumbled. I really do need to run it on the Female story to see if I enjoy it even more. I love my Consular but that is the only regret in the story. They really do need to give another romance option for the JC. My only thought is that they didn't want it to be too appealing to compel you to go "real Consular" like and not romance at all. JC with Nadia and JK with Doc have to be the worst two romances, imho.

Good advise but just remember this is a 2 year old post answered and Necroed many times over lol. Way back when there was no Treek.

I lvl'd a Guardian, Sage, and am now lvling a Vanguard and the tanks were easier. The Vanguard thus far is fun for me because I do have the option for both ranged and melee dps, With Elara as my comp I solo champions with no real issues. Only real issue is the Def CD's aren't as good as the Guardian.

Sorc has best DPS between those three, Sin and Jug are known more for their tanking and their DPS is a lil behind the Sorc. At least that is my experience from the game and forums... That doesn't mean their not viable just not equal to or better than. I think it is the Lightning tree, (middle) one that produes the best DPS but the Madness tree yields self heals and mobility. If I am wrong I hope someone can clarify.

I agree with the main points of OP's thread. I just think that a shotgun or vibrosword would fit the Vanguard more than a rifle. I do like the fact that I can fire decnt shots at ppl at range then go back to face tanking whomever is already in front of me. The stockstrike is something that is practiced in the Army (formerly Active) so it is viable to do it but as OP and others have said Bayonet use should DEFINITELY be a move in this Vangaurds repertoire. I would actually think they would've had more than one, like Gut in the tactics tree and possibly one of the main top tier attacks being the same. Commando just felt awkward to me having to use the canon all the time, especially since it goes through your body if it is a larger one while mounted on your back (bugs me sooo much). The only negative part for me is that I don't think any of these types of posts will do anything for the Devs, I mean do they actually look at these and say, good idea lets rework the class to be able to use scatterguns, vibroswords and such or do they just say, "look another one, see I told ya" and go back to business as usual. I have really only seen them try to adjust the mechanics to work better at how the dps, tanking, healing works but not things like this. Might just be me...

This has actually forced me to not use some of the items I got through packs and such. I haven't really noticed the part about it going through when firing but the fact that is goes through my back in cut scenes and such bugs me to no end. Just like the Cathar Warblade with certain species like Twi'leks, the Lekku going through the blade makes think she wanted to cut it off. So frustrating...

I'm sorry but what reference to mine are you comparing to Dooku? Didn't catch that part...

The interesting thing about why you didn't like the original is kinda why Lucas made them. In an interview he acknowledged that he never really intended Vader to be considered the Ultimate Evil, that was always the Emporer. His intent for Vader was a Jedi who was manipulated and turned while maintaining some connection to the light (Padme and such). When you watch all of them, you realize the series really is about the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. The only one that doesn't fit this by itself is Episode 4 all the others shows this constant battle with Anakin/Vader. I actually very much enjoyed them all, they all had things that could've been done differently and I would've focused more on different aspects of Anakins life but over all I think they all add a solid piece to the series, in their own way.

I just think it is hilarious that my Jedis always say (or at least have the option to say) something along the lines that I am only the Jedi I am because of your teaching or some such. Acting like we actually learned something from them. I always think of Episode 1 where Obi-Wan is with Qio-Gon and that we should always have our Master there at first then once the time comes their gone, maybe like Sataele and Obi-wan and have them die at the hands of the Sith around the time we become a Jedi.

As far as I know they don't stack. I hope someone can correct me if I am wrong but last time I spoke to ppl in game they said it is a waste to use both because they don't stack... That is why, especially for ppl like Sent's there is always the plan to use them in the right order so you have them in CD at the right time and survivibility is increased.

Technically it was a long time ago in a galaxy far far awy so it has taken this long to nerf what Han lifted up

Yeah, I would say I have no problem with any of the voice overs. I cant say I particularly like or dislike any of them. I enjoyed the JC story and am likely going to enjoy it when I roll a Shadow,. next time through.

As far as I've seen for the Seer, Power is over everything except WP but as the above post acknowledges that sum total for both outweighs the added benefit of just more WP by itself. The Sage, as far as I've heard, is the only healer that doesn't get any benefit from healing with crit/surge so power is the stat you go for after WP.

As far as I know you have to go LS, ending basically says that in cut scene...

I leveled as a tank and had no problems what so ever. The issue with Sent's is you just have to know how to annihalate the enemy quickly. DPS was never really a problem for me and I did use the Vig tree once to see if I liked it but I preferred the Defense tree personally. In FP's and such, as others have stated, Tanks are always needed and so you'll always get a quick qeue. DPS is a dime a dozen. I personally enjoyed both Stories the same Knight/Consular but many ppl like the speed and action of the Knight. As you lvl, Gear towards whatev you want DPS or tank and just keep two sets of gear, if you want, one focused on Tank and one on DPS, if you are a sub you can respec whenever you want so that makes life easier. I know ppl who say they have geared for lvling as a DPS and still used the Defense tree so it wasn't much of an issue. If you have a healer Comp, it will flow pretty easily. I used Kira until I got Doc and the few times I got in trouble before Doc, were all but eliminated afterwards. Gearing for what you plan on doing in end game is what matters, while leveling you have more freedom. As a side note, in the story- cut scenes, your Jedi will always remove one saber, regardless of the AC, making it seem more accurate to be a Guardian. Doesn't sound like much but some ppl can be rather bothered by such details .
