Darth Hater

Actually look at this:
http://darthhater.com/uploads/blog_images/6405/jconsoverknockre.jpg

It's a Jedi Knight, altough DH mistakenly said it's a Consular.

You can clearly see its a Knight because the ability he uses is a mirror ability of Sith's warrior one:

Besides, he's too big to be a consular which is also a hint since we havent seen any consular that bulky anywhere in their released media.

So don't worry about dual blade for JK and SW.

If you see a high-level Smuggler dual wielding you know its a Gunslinger.

If you see a high-level Sith using a saber staff is it an Inquisitor? a Warrior? a Juggrnaught? a Marauder? an inquisitor AC?

Don't you see how this would be a bit "one-sided", in terms of identifying a class at a distance?

OK, but what you said in no way counters what I said. I gave solid examples...

First, your "examples" aren't really solid. Just because he's "bulkier" doesn't make him a Jedi Knight. We've seen different body types on the same class. Just because a Sith Warrior has a similar ability does not make it a Jedi Knight.

Second, my example was for pvp purposes. In a battleground/world you will be able to pick out a Gunslinger from a distance and have a tactic to use against him. If Jedi/Sith can use w/e saber type they want how do you tell them apart at a distance? If you see a high-level Sith using a saber staff is it an Inquisitor? a Warrior? a Juggrnaught? a Marauder? an inquisitor AC?

I'm pretty sure that picture you showed is a jedi consular, not only because of the outfit that is almost identical to the JC tactics video but also because of the green blade. And the ability hes using in that picture is identical to the sith inquisitor one.

"Probably mirrored for Jedi Knight with a setup like above, but maybe with the Inquisitor & Consular it's having only a single saber & double bladed saber Advanced Class format instead?"

I am guessing the Jedi Knight will have the specialization of Guardian (single blade), and Weapon Master (double blades).

Personally, I only want to play with a single blade, though I don't want to have thick heavy armor. I am hoping the armor doesn't make me "look" like a tank. Basically, when I think of a Jedi Knight, I think of Obi-Wan from Revenge of The Sith.

I've had this vibe for a while, yes. I was hoping for a way to customize your style AND still be viable/efficient. If it comes down to marauder having to use two blades to be any good/invited to group, I will have to think a great deal about which advanced class I will choose, since I am prone to choosing one saber for the traditional aspect, but DPS is more my style as well.

Sure, you've seen pictures of this class wielding that weapon, but what it comes down to is which is the class designed for (I wish it was a wide variety)? I could run around WoW as an 80 rogue with one dagger, but who would invite me to group?

If you look at the Sith Marauder description, the first sentence is very telling.

This isn't really new stuff is it? We knew about all of this like weeks ago.

Bah, there are always so many complaints when something new shows up ...
Please have faith in the developers, damn it!

As long as we don't know any of the skill sets for "tanking", "dpsing" and "healing" we CAN'T have a clue what BW is going to do with 'em, so your complaints are pure speculation ...

I'm still very thrilled about every little piece they show off without being all "I want them to exactly do what I want or I'm going to cry!". ;P

I know this is just a little off topic, but Darth Hater....thank you so much for being here. I just had to say it b/c I can't even bare to look at the main swtor website forums. Going there for any type of information is utterly useless. There are so many pointless, complaining, and under educated posts there. So thank you for all your hard work and true dedication. You all being here makes waiting for this game so much more exciting.

Oh btw let me know when the guild recruiting starts :P

Here, here!

agreed.

I agree!

That would be awesome starting a darth hater guild. If you could, leave an opening for a Sith Marauder :D
I know it's a long shot, but hey, who knows right?

PVP FTW...

Sean: "Solar is correct. As in the Companions section, each class has a completely unique set of Companions. That said, we will not be telling you about each of them right now. Some of them are surprises and might ruin the fun in learning who can and who can't be your companion. The ones we do highlight are generally the companions you will meet early on in your adventures."

ooh is that him hinting at HK-47 and T3-whatever as being companions?

Imo, the 'Vette' Page, should have a Class Tag -- telling you she is only for Sith Warrior -- just to avoid confusion.
