Jedi Profession Guide
[In Testing] The reworked Jedi profession described here is on the Test server only. It is NOT yet on Live. Numbers may change before release.
What is the Jedi profession?
The Jedi path is a four-phase profession for Force-sensitive characters. You grow from Jedi Initiate to Jedi Master by buying skill boxes, and you shape your build with the Jedi expertise trees (General and Path). Jedi fight with one-handed lightsabers and an off-hand blade, favour defense, and carry a toolkit of Light Side abilities.
The four phases
| Phase | Title | Skill box names | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jedi Initiate | Force Sensitive Fundamentals I to V | Shii-Cho Flurry, Sun Djem Strike, Heal, Shiak Lunge, Soresu Riposte, droid command set, lightsaber crafting |
| 2 | Jedi Padawan | Force Sensitive Essentials I to V | Saber Block, ability to wear all armor, higher marks of every phase 1 ability |
| 3 | Jedi Knight | Force Sensitive Expertise I to V | Higher marks, more lightsaber crafting skill |
| 4 | Jedi Master | Force Sensitive Mastery I to V | Final marks of every ability, Saber Block Mark 2, tier E saber schematics |
Each phase has an entry box, four further boxes and a master box. The master box of a phase gives you the title. Phases open at about levels 1, 30, 60 and 90.
What the skill boxes grant
| Ability | Marks | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Shii-Cho Flurry | 1 to 8 | Your basic lightsaber attack, a reliable sequence of broad sweeping strikes. Gains a mark in almost every phase |
| Sun Djem Strike | 1 to 5 | A precise disarming strike aimed at the weapon or hands |
| Heal | 1 to 4 | Heals your wounds and restores stamina through the Living Force |
| Shiak Lunge | 1 to 3 | A swift thrust to a non-lethal extremity that incapacitates the target |
| Soresu Riposte | 1 to 4 | A patient defensive stance that answers an overextended enemy with a counter-strike |
| Saber Block | 1 to 2 | Mark 1: +10 saber block for 15 seconds. Mark 2: +20 saber block for 30 seconds |
| Droid commands | phase 1 | 20 droid orders (follow, stay, guard, attack, patrol, store, transfer, group, tricks) plus Flame Jet, Droideka Shield, Battery Dump, Regenerative Plating, Electrical Shock and Torturous Needle |
Every box also adds skill modifiers such as one-handed and off-hand lightsaber damage and accuracy, block chance, melee defense, Lightsaber Assembly and Lightsaber Experimentation. A Padawan can wear all armor types.
