SWTOR Jedi Consular Companions Guide

Here is my general SWTOR Jedi Consular Companion Guide. Hopefully it will give you all the information you need on the Companions you receive as a Consular. Once you hit level 10 you will have a choice on which advanced class you would like to pursue. This can either be the Healing and DPS role-the Jedi Sage, or the Tanking and DPS role of the Jedi Shadow. Regardless of which role you choose, you will still gain the same Companions along the way!

Qyzen-Fess

Qyzen will be your first Companion as a Jedi Consular, who you will find towards the end of your starter planet; Tython. He believes that everything that happens is controlled by “the great Scoremaster”. This is basically a reference to god, and he agrees to join your team as swtor credits he believes it will please her. In contrast to many Trandoshans, Qyzen Fess rejected the path of a mercenary to become a hunter of the galaxy’s most dangerous beasts. He specializes in being a melee Tank who wields a Vibrosword. Qyzen-Fess is not a romance-able Companion.

C2-N2

At around level 17 you will receive your very own starship, which will enable you to travel to different worlds as and when you please. Aboard this ship, is friendly Companion guide, C2-N2. Although he’s pretty useless, he means well. When you walk past him on your ship he’ll constantly praise you and tell you all the things he’s done to make you happy. In combat, he can serve as a weak healer or DPS, and you cannot buy swtor credits gain affection with him yet. I only really find him useful for one thing-Crew skills. Whilst he is not proficient in any specifically, he is also useless in combat, meaning for me, he lays dormant a lot. An ideal candidate for Crew Skill missions!

Theran Cedrex

Theran will be your second Companion as a Jedi Consular. You will recruit him to your crew at around level 25, upon completing your class quests on Nar Shaddaa. He is a ranged healer, whose stance can also be switched to DPS if you’d prefer. Obviously he won’t be very useful to those of you choosing a healing role, but for those choosing a Jedi Shadow he may prove handier. In the casinos of Nar Shaddaa, he is cursed as a card-counting mathematical genius. swtor gold To the eligible women of the galaxy, he is a famous charmer who sees rejection as an intriguing challenge, so as you may have guessed, Is romance-able for female characters.

Zenith

Zenith is a male Twi’lek who you can find on the planet Balmorra. You will recruit him at around level 32, and will be your third Companion. Years spent in hiding and seeing the plight of Balmorran citizens have left Zenith with a deep-seated paranoia and hatred of the Empire–especially Balmorra’s Sith governor, Darth Lachris. Zenith specializes in being a ranged-DPS, therefore favors use of a Sniper Rifle and Scattergun. He is not romance-able. No, not even for female Twi’leks…

Lieutenant Felix Iresso

Iresso will be your fourth Companion. wow gold You can find him on the planet Hoth, where he will join your crew at around level 36. His file shows participation in several notable battles, including the so-called Eight-Hour Invasion of Dubrillion where Republic forces repelled an Imperial invasion force with minimal reinforcements. He is a ranged tank, which will serve useful to all the healing Jedi Sages. You can choose to have a romantic relationship with him too, if you play as a female character. He has a Light personality, making it easier to gain his affection if you play typically on the Light side.

Nadia Grell

A native of distant Sarkhai and daughter of Senator Tobas Grell, Nadia Grell is a newcomer not only to the Republic, but to the entire concept of space exploration. Surrounded by new species and strange cultures, Nadia is eager to experience everything she can. Nadia will be your last Companion whilst playing as a Jedi Consular. She can be found on the Planet Belsavis and has a light personality. She specializes in being a melee DPS, which will be useful to those playing as a Jedi Shadow . You should get her at around level 41, though it depends on the speed of which you complete your class quests. She is a romance-able Companion if you decide to play as a male character.

That concludes my SWTOR Jedi Consular Companions Guide. I hope it proved useful, though for a more detailed guide; feel free to visit my individual Companion guides for the Consular, which will provide more information such as their favorite gift types and armor proficiencies.

Everyone In Politics Still Really, Really Hates The Long Primary Season, Like Always

Remember that time the RNC set up a primary process that was "heavily back-loaded" and had "major states such as California and New York going much later in the process than in 2008" which meant that there would be "far fewer delegates up for grabs through Super Tuesday" and thus would ensure that this year's primary season would be "the most spread-out contest since the 1970s?" Yeah, everyone still hates it, like grim death. And this is your daily reminder! The Associated Press reports today that "GOP activists" are still really, really upset that their party's primary process is wending on in the precise way it was designed to do. And every day that Mitt Romney fails to secure the nomination is a reminder that they hate this, though it's never wow gold been clear what Mitt Romney is supposed to have been able to do about it, beyond "not sucking so much as a frontrunner," I guess. According to the report: Republican activists foresee a long, lumbering presidential campaign that almost certainly will nominate Mitt Romney but may leave him weakened in a fall battle against President Barack Obama. Interviews Wednesday with GOP officials and strategists in several states found no panic or calls for Romney to crank up his criticisms of Rick Santorum to secure the nomination. But they expressed varying degrees of worry that Santorum’s and Newt Gingrich’s attacks on Romney are inflicting wounds that might not fully heal by Nov. 6. Steve Lombardo, "a veteran buy wow gold of many GOP campaigns," says he's concerned that Romney has "built up" a mess of "negatives" on his "approval rating" that will be "[hard] to reverse." Another GOP strategist, John Ullyot, says that the primary season's length "just weakens Romney in the general election." A third figure mentioned in the piece, South Carolina State GOP Chair Chad Connelly, argues the contrary, asserting that a "longer, drawn-out primary engages people across the nation." Odds are that Chad Connelly is right. Over at the Plum Line, Jonathan Bernstein warned that the post-Super Tuesday analysis would likely contain several dubious ideas that needed to be debunked in advance, and one of those was this: Ignore statements about the fall based on cheap wow gold Romney's weak national polling numbers. Romney has lousy numbers because he's lost several contests and because he's being attacked from his own party. Once he's the nominee, he'll have several months in which he's a winner — and those attacks will disappear. It's highly likely that his favorable ratings in polls will consequently recover. Exactly. The one thing that you can say about GOP activists is that their occasional need for a "not-Romney" candidate is trumped about a billion times over by their desire for a "not-Obama" president. Consequently, Romney is not going to necessarily emerge from the primary season as the damaged brand, in the eyes of Republicans at least, that they fret about. (We'll see what happens with independent voters, just wow gold eu like we always will.) But these concerns of GOP activists help me to segue to the Obama team, who also have found things to dislike about the long-drawn out primary process. As Reuters' Jeff Mason reports, the length of the contest "may be helping President Barack Obama with independent voters, but it is complicating his efforts to motivate Democratic donors to give to his campaign." While that race drags on, Obama's campaign is focused on organizing in battleground states and raising money. It has amassed $106.3 million by the end of January, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. Still, that is a far cry from the roughly $750 million the campaign had in 2008, and Obama's advisers are worried about hundreds of millions of dollars being raised by outside groups supporting Republicans. Jim Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager, sent an email to supporters in January, admonishing them not to be complacent about giving funds. "Too many Obama supporters genuinely believe that this campaign doesn't really need their donations, or doesn't need them yet, in order to compete and win," he wrote, putting the sentence in boldface in the email. "That's wrong." You know what? Here's a useful way of looking at all the agonizing over the GOP's primaries. Republicans are really worried that at the end of June, the primary process will fail to yield a candidate that's better than Mitt Romney. Meanwhile, Democrats are really worried that at the end of June, the primary process will fail to yield a candidate that's worse.

Tom Hanks Narrates Pro-Obama Film, Trailer Released

The Obama campaign on Thursday morning released the trailer for the 17-minute-long infomercial/biopic that it will unveil later this swtor credits month.

The trailer doesn't reveal much, save that the film -- directed by Davis Guggenheim buy swtor credits of "An Inconvenient Truth" fame -- is narrated by Tom Hanks and features a wide cast of first-term characters. swtor gold Even Elizabeth Warren, the consumer protection advocate turned Massachusetts Senate candidate who clashed with the president's economic team, makes a cameo, discussing the dangers of not bailing out the auto industry.

And that's sort of the point of the film: to shine a light on all of the tough decisions the president made without getting into the messier, staff-level drama that preceded those decisions.

The full trailer is below
