Jedi Consulars - Choose your BUILDS

So anyways I believe this is the updated and live version of the talent tree for the Jedi Consulars.  At least it all looks correct to me

Presonally I've been debating on which way to go....

Balance or Telekinetics

Anyways see what kind of build you might want to put together. Then post about it here...

What you are choosing and reasons why.

[Fuse]

I really can't decide until I get in game, but right now I'm leaning towards 31/3/7 build or similar. This of course is only based on what I can read - but I want to max dmg and crit.

[Broin]

Yeah I'm looking to that but am also interested in Telekenetics

By the way that link is for Sage only.  The main link is here

yeah, I started looking at a tele build, but I'm split... Would love to hear opinions from testers -I know I saw some in another thread somewhere...

[Aculeus]

Apparently Shadow talent tree is inaccurate so I will have to wait to determine my build.

[Broin]

I didn't check out the Shadow during last BETA, but Lithium was in it.  I think the Balance is the same for both.  But not for sure.

5/3/33 Kinetics Build

http://torguild.net/calculator/jedi-consular/sage/?p=3020000000000000000030000000000000000003232020212230013151

Now I'm not in the beta but from just reading the tree by itself this seems like a viable build. It will be impossible to tell what will really be the bread winner without actually getting to do it myself.

im built for balance on my sage at the moment and its working out very good i find the telekinetic throw ability to be 1 of the most used plus if you trait balance you often get a free no induction cast of 1 of the other 2 induction attack abilitys which seriously spikes the dps.

[Duoi]

this is using the Sith Assassin tree due to it being updated.  As soon as the Shadows tree get updated I will transfer the builds to it.  
for melee Dps
For tanking
 Feel free to tweak either.

[Subb]

I'm pretty tempted to go Shadow for my first character.

[Jesseria]

They just updated the Shadow build!

Here is the Balance Tree I am thinking about. This is a pure Force/Saber DPS CC build.

Notice how I took speed reduction and Force Stun talents along with DPS Talents. This is probably going to be what I will shoot for at launch, as I want to have a number of ranged and melee tools at my disposal; while having plenty of abilities to lock or slow my target down.

Here is an Infiltration build that is meant to come out of stealth, do tons of damage, keep the enemy close, and put the Jedi back into stealth should the target gain the upper hand.

Notice how I spent an extra point for Elusiveness - this is handy for getting away from the target, or keeping close to finish off the target.

This next build is what I would like to try for a tanking build. This is a pure tank. Note, I did not take Elusiveness because I don't know what the effects are for Combat Technique. Naturally, I'll change this if the effects of Combat technique compliment tanking (which they probably will).

Notice subduing techniques, Force Synergy, and Focused Insight. Took those to increase endurance, increase chance to critical strike, and to provide a bit more defensive longevity. Very impressed with the Shadow's tanking build.

[ReReminiscence]

Tanky dps that will never die. For those of you who play LoL think a tanky talon that melts faces

Yeah I was wondering what the difference between the Balance Sage and the Balance Shadow would be.  


What are all of yours take on the FORCE IN BALANCE ABILITY and TELEKENTIC WAVE ABILITY and linked abilities to those in the Sage trees?

I didn't get to much of a chance to mess with the FORCE IN BALANCE one.

Yeah I was wondering what the difference between the Balance Sage and the Balance Shadow would be.  The abiliites are very very similar.  Looks like only 4 ability difference

Nah, more than Four ability Differences. Here are the differences per row.

Row 1 -
Sage: Empowered Throw - Will of the Jedi
Shadow: Force Synergy - Force Focus

Row 2 -
Sage: Critical Kinesis
Shadow: Psycokinesis

Row 3 -
Sage: Psychic Barrier - Telekinetic Balance
Shadow: Mental Potency - Adjudication

Row 4 -
Sage: Presence of Mind
Shadow: Force Strike

Row 5 -
Sage: Drained Thoughts - Assertion
Shadow: Sharpened Mind - Twin Disciplines

Row 6 and 7 -
No Difference

Edit:
Sorry for that weird double post.

[Broin]

Yeah caught that right after I posted so changed my original post...

Here are my proposed builds so far

SAGE - TELEKINETICS

SAGE - BALANCE


http://torguild.net/calculator/jedi-consular/sage/?p=3022302111221122321032030200000000000000000000000000000000



I personally like the idea of haivng the stun applied to those who break my force armor.  Gives me a chance to survive a few seconds more to either get away or heal myself or someone else.  So I'll probalby go with that on both.  

Plus the Psychic Infussion which gives the 10% bump in AOE damage and Heals seems to be a must if you are going to take FORCE IN BALANCE or TELEKINETIC WAVE

Thoughts.... Ideas....
