There's only 12 advanced class specific Sage abilities plus a couple from whatever tree you spec into. You'll acquire more of them, but you will only acquire a couple more Consular specific abilities. Trust me when I tell you that I got away with 4 bars and had keys to spare.
I'm glad.
To be honest ToR has most of the stuff nailed down in the default game, Most of my wow addons where to make the UI better and improve the map and quest help etc.
I agree on that, I even left ToR once for WoW, cos I really missed addons. Actually, I need only 3 - Altoholic, Recount and Omen.
Altoholic is invaluable cos i play lot of toons and knowing how much credits and mats I have on each one would be really nice, so i dont need to log each one of them to find what I need.
Omen is most needed for my vanguard tank, since I really cant tell how much threat im doing and often Im left w/o ammo cos Im trying to make as much threat as poss. Its hard to distinguish between loosing threat to dps player and bosses who have threat-drop mechanic. I had lots of fights with dps players for me loosing threat and I cant prove its just boss mechanic.
For recount - I know there are separate programs that can measure dps in ToR, but its useless since 99,9% players dont know about them and there is a need to sync them which is really unpractical. Im trying to play best i can on all my toons, but without recount I cant really say am I good , average or bad dps player.
Hoping for some day we will see those addons or in-game included features.
What I find funny is that in the recent Meet the Dev post. He states that he fell in love with the gaming and actually made addons for the game also.
So to all the addon haters. If addons are terrible for a game then what do you think about a senior dev that made an addon for a game he loved now being in charge of a game that doesnt allow addons.
Someone who can post in the SWTOR forums should ask why addons are not allowed when he himself loved a game so much that he wrote an addon for it himself.
Looks like he was crazy in love with SWTOR even if he couldn't do any addons?!
