The SWTOR Jedi Sage or the SWTOR Jedi Shadow

You are sure that you will be playing a Jedi. After all, the force sensitive characters are what had you hooked on since the very beginning. However, now that there are a total of four Jedi advanced classes for you to choose from when Star Wars the Old Republic gets released, which should you play? If you want to mimic Master Yoda, then go for the Jedi Consular. The next question is, as a Jedi Consular, should you specialize as a Jedi Shadow or a Jedi Sage? Here are the preliminaries to help you decide which advanced class to aim for.



There are a total of three skill trees, also known as builds that the Jedi Sage and Jedi Shadow can further specialize into. Two are specific trees available to each advanced class, while one is an available option for both classes. The shared, Balance skill tree offers skills for the class that further enhances both force and light-saber abilities. Some of the known skills are those such as Containment and Presence of Mind, both of which are passive skills. Containment basically renders a 100% reduction in cast time of Force Lift in addition to the possibility of stunning targets for 2 seconds. Presence of Mind on the other hand, increases the possibility to deal a second force attack instantly and with increased damage after Telekinetic Throw
 .

First of all, when do you get to choose a specialization? That would be as soon as you hit level 10. When it comes to what to expect in terms of general advanced class set-up, the SWTOR Jedi Sage highly emphasizes focus on the force as oppose to anything light-saber related. The Jedi Shadow on the other hand is suitable for anyone who prefers to handle the light-saber more, focusing mainly on stealth and burst damage.

For the SWTOR Jedi Shadow, the other two available skill trees gamers can choose from are Infiltration and Kinetic Combat. The Infiltration ability is all about stealth and positioning yourself for the next best attack while the Kinetic Combat skill is more about making use of the double-light saber ability to protect the Jedi and allies. As for the SWTOR Jedi Sage, besides the Balance skill tree, other available options include Telekinetics and Seer. Telekinetics is all about making use of force abilities to distort enemy's reality and manipulating energy waves.

In any case, whichever Jedi specialization you choose to play and whichever skill tree you go down, it will surely be a memorable experience.

The writer shares more details about each of the Jedi advanced classes at SWTOR Jedi Sage and SWTOR Jedi Shadow.
