So, this week's update was all about the Consular class!

New Video about the class:

Consular Trailer

w00t!

Neato burrito! I think that this is one of the best class videos they've released so far. I'll bet our many consular lovers appreciate it.

I've noticed that someone makes a thread almost every Friday discussing the SWTOR weekly update. Maybe we should have a single topic dedicated to the discussion of those updates, rather than dozens of threads that die after a few days.

That was completely different from all of the other class videos, but the showed force quake, so I am happy.

They also made a clear point that reviving allies in battle will be important. Good. My only concern is that the class seems to do a lot of figting. Healers gonna heal, dps gonna dps, i say.

Well, you can spec the consular for tank, dps, or healing. I think they were showing a Sage/Telekinetic spec because they had very effective force abilities.

I really hope that I have the option of not using a double bladed lightsaber. I am a HUGE lightsaber enthusiast and while I think double bladed ones are great, I would MUCH rather wield a normal and a short saber in my off hand like I could in KOTOR. I really hope I get to have that option at some point, but if not it's not the end of the world. I suppose it would mark me as a Consular, but who says I want to be known as that on sight. :p People can just hover over me and see my nameplate and it'll tell what class I am.

Plus, two sabers are more customizable. I created a character when Episode I came out that had a purple and a yellow lightsaber and he was a total badass. He could use each one by itself, both at the same time or click them together for a double bladed awesomeness show. I want to try and recreate him in game once I get a hold of it.

...i've also just created a new part of my sig.

Extremely awesome, but they did not show enough shadow spec stuff... or any it seemed like....

Yeah, I was hoping to see some Shadow stuff just to satisfy my curiosity, but I loved the epicness of the trailer even if it was fairly uninformative.

Also, Doombah, step it up.

I'll fix it sometime tomorrow. I'm out for the night. Thank you for the link, though!

Just leave dual wielding for us smugglers. B)

Though I absolutely loved the look on that consular. Sure it was missing the FREAKING AWESOME hat of the basic consular we've seen so far. Dear gog I love that hat. But he looked like a hard rocker. xD
