Consular OR Guardian.. I need HELP!!

Post by PersuAzN »

Alright, u all seem like KOTOR experts... Here is my dillema. I've always played a Consular/Jedi Master... I've been thinking of triyng Guardian/Weapon Master combination. I'm not sure if I should or not, I'm used to using Force Powers, are Guardians and Weapon Masters a good choice? I was also thinking of combining Guardian with Jedi Master... that way I have Force Jump, some cool saber techniques, and the Force Mastery of a Jedi Master..

Should I give the Guardian/Weapon Master a Try??.. Or combine my Consular with Weapon Master, or Guardian with Jedi Master?

SUM1 HELP!!!

What about Sentinel and Weapon Master? That is usually my character's class. The Sentinel is the Jedi Class that is all balanced. They are pretty good in combat and pretty good with force powers. Plus they have the largest skill selection.

For a prestige class the weapon master is a good choice if you focus on combat because of the feats and other abilities. If you prefer the force a Jedi master would also be good because they can provide extra force powers and force points. Jedi Watchmen aren't that great.

watchman are more powerful than a weapon master...

the sneak attack bonus is more powerful than the increased melee damage...

sentinel sucks, but the watchman class is capable, when built right of doing a lot more damage than a weapon master or sith marauder... :p

the jedi master got jipped...lesser prestige sense is weak compared to greater prestige sense of watchman and weapon master, and while inspire followers is useful and better than battle meditation, its still not as usefull as pumping up charisma...the lightside enlightenment sounds good, but you need to do a lot of work maxing out influence on npcs to give them lightside/darkside mastery...

i will admit the toughness feats and increase melee damage is nice for the weapon master, but like i said, the sneak attack bonuses are far more powerful per level than increase melee damage...

i even like force stealth...not used much, but the stealth bonus is quite handy... :cool:

I took a look at it stats wise (saving throws) and I found that although Watchman aren't really specialized or strong featwise (come on, sneak attack sucks) they do have the best saving throws in the game, and are, in my opinion, the most overlooked prestige class.

if you are going for skills or feats, don't go with the Watchman, not worth it. but I think Guardian/Watchman could be a good stat character. I beat it with a melee Sentinal/Watchman. I swear, I got hit received less damage than Guardian/Weapon master.

anyways, all I'm saying, watchman isn't a fun class, but it has some subtle and dramatic advantages

i am beginning to think consular weapon master is possibly the best..

always pick consular...with identical base attack bonus for all classes, it comes down to straight feats...force jump or force focus...

force focus wins...better skill sets too...

yeah...over all sneak attack isn't that reliable...end bosses always make their saves...

consular weapon master/marauder... :eek:

My friend told me that you get better bonuses if you match. Like if your a Guardian, be a Weapons Master, Setinel be a Watchman, and Consuler be a Jedi Master. But if you are a weapons master, then you get more lightsaber proficiency, along with more two-weapon fighting, so it is a pretty good choice if you use two lightsabers or a double-bladed lightsaber.
