Noop

I only learned to use it once I got the advanced class.

Sith Inquisitors can't use it...
Only assassins...

Not even sure. Qyzen? I don't have a consular.

Some of the restrictions don't even make sense. Bounty Hunters can't use blaster rifles? Really?

An epic drop for 3 companions in the game ? does it make sense ?

Anyway... back to the point...

The staff was completly unable to answer the question... he was completly lost...
He had no idea an assassin could even equip an electro staff...

and after he found out we can... he started giving completly evasive answers...

A couple of weeks ago we killed HK in false Emp Hard Mode.

Since I am an assassin, and the only class in the game that can use it (assassin + Shadow), I took it.

When I equiped I found out I coulnd't use maul, or the charges anymore.
Those skills all require double-bladed lightsaber...

IMO that makes no sense, for 3 reasons.
1st - the marauder / jugger can use the vibro sword and use all their skills
2nd - i am the only class in the game that can equip it, so I assume I can use it.
3rd - it is an epic drop from a hard mode for a companion only ?

Well, I opened a ticket to ask about this, and meanwhile I gave it to my companion.
1 week later (yes, 1 week), a "droid" (staff) contacted me to discuss the issue.

He started the conversation saying: "Electro Staff is a companion only weapon, that is why you can't equip it"...

I was like, "***?" I can equip it...
So, even after I wrote a 10 lines ticket, I explained the issue again. His answer was:
"Oh, so you can equip it ? now I get it, let me look in my resources for an answer".
a few minutes later he tells me:

"Sith assassins are an advanced classe from Sith inquisitor that focus on martial expertise"

Ya... Thanks for teaching me how to play my class...

Once again I explained him what was going on...
He answered: "sith assassins requires double-bladed lightsaber in order to use their most damage skills"...

After that I got a lil bit pissed and asked to talk to a "Senior droid"...
I have been waiting for 3 days now...

Anyway...

The staff who answered me is COMPLETLY unprepared and has NO IDEA of what the game is and how it is played.
I am VERY disapointed at Bioware for that, and I AM STILL waiting for an answer regarding this subject...

in the meantime my companion will still use the electrostaff....
No offense, but your class specific skills pretty clearly state "requires a double bladed LIGHTSABER".

I know that...
All I am asking is...

Wasn't supposed to use electro staff ?
And I thought it was... many other also did...

We did hardmodes for a week, our companions got better gear than us so we just skipped it and started doing ops instead, much better in every way.

Jaesa for SW's can, she is an assassin though, and I haven't read all her abilities... so one or two may actually require a LS.
