- Jedi Sage wields a single-bladed lightsaber, has powerful telekinetics/healing and is a ranged controller with damage or healing powers.
- Jedi Shadow wields double-bladed lightsabers, and possess stealth and burst melee damage abilities. They can also tank.
Jedi Sage
The Jedi Sage’s abilities will focus on healing and removing negative effects on allies. They will also have a powerful range of force powers to attack enemies at range.

Skill Trees
The two Sage skill trees are Telekinetics and Seer. The shared Sage and Shadow tree is Balance.
- Telekinetics – Affords the power to distort reality and move waves of energy, tearing apart enemies. In RPG terms, this is a Ranged DPS skill tree. The skills in this tree focus on improving the existing force abilities and conserving force points.
- Seer – Allows the Sage to master the art of the force to heal and protect allies.
- Balance – Enhances the Sage’s force attacks and augments the Shadow’s force and lightsaber abilities.
Abilities
Below is a full list of the abilities that a Jedi Sage can learn. Remember that you also have access to Jedi Consular abilities as well.
