I have mixed feelings for that guy: when I line him up in a GW battle, he usually dies half way through that one battle (still useful because he helps the rest of the team to get out in good shape). He does small heals (below 2000), and pathetic damage even with his special.On the other hand, I face lots of teams with him and they are not cut from the same cloth: massive heal, and quite a hard hit with their special.Mine is a modest level 56, level V gear almost complete, level 4 abilities... I don't expect the difference to come from just a few more levels, but maybe there's prime gear for him on level VI ? That one missing gear item I have is one made out of 20 salvage things, and... well, I didn't think it was worth the pain.

My JC is now at 5* gear lvl 7 and he is shaping up well. He still gets targeted badly in GW occasionally but for his utility value I will be getting him to 7*

All characters are poor to average at that level. He gets better when you hit 5/6 stars and you want to get gear maxed on him asap. Get his Jedi healing to level 6 and his basic attack upgraded so he has a chance to lower his cool downs. Get him maxed as soon as possible as he will greatly help you on galactic war, his 3 turn cd heal is amazing. He will get outclassed as you get stronger but he is definitely worth your time. I would recommend you get lumi and old daka as well. 3 healers once geared and starred can make your life in galactic war much easier.

At 7* gear 8 abilities 6, he will be your saviour in GW! Don't write him off just yet.

JC is not abbreviated for no reason, he is a saviour at 6 stars. A real pain in the neck....can't wait to see him at 7 :)

he starts becoming great at 5* G8 and just gets better from there easy to farm both gear and shards strictly a secondary healer, Lumi should be your primary if you have Barriss, don't bother with JC not good for high ranks of arena

Jedi Consular - when does he become good?

Gear 5 at level 58 is your problem. Get him to gear 8 and he will be a staple to your team.

Been using him since I got him. Thought about ditching him recently around level 58 but then I got the heal level -1 cool down and he is solidly back on my GW team.

I have not seen him in the arena in a long time.

The wookie is correct. GW would be a lot harder without him. But Arena...Havent seen or used him there since early December.

I saw one in the arena the other day. It was him, or an unicorn, not sure.

JC 5* almost 6* and level 9 gear. With Barriss as leader, those two are my must haves, and he's must have in Challenges and events, and pretty much anything really. And he's really easy to farm in Cantina and multiple other hard levels.

I have Lumi 7* gear VII who I think is just fantastic, especially in GW (and makes me need my JC less). My JC is 4* and I see that getting him starred is not hard, but that whatever gear equipment I needed 20 of discouraged me. I'll probably give him another go, I can use a second healer now and then on (or after) a particularly hard stage on GW.

Thanks for the replies.

JC heals 4500 every 3 turns at 70 7* VIII and skill 7. Barris heal 1920 to Jedis and 950 go non Jedi every turn without doing anything at all, just with his leadership aura, at 70 7* VIII skill 7. Plus also has his health equalization nd a proc when she attacks. JC does more damage, but Barris healing is massive if highly developed

JC was kinda a pain to get to gear 6, as there were a lot of little pieces. I was having a hard time beating gw consistently, so I invested some time in him, and was shocked at how easy gear 7 and gear 8 came for him once you get past 6. Since investing the time, I haven't lost GW since, and he is an integral part of it.

Yes, that's the trick. I also bit the bullet and made him gear VII and surprise, there are a lot of good things in there!

I use him now and then, when I have a fight that's too short for a full cycle of Lumi's cooldown, or I need a booster, usually in the battles 4-7. He still dies very quickly / often though (the AI really targets him a lot, same with Talia actually), but I'm happy if his sacrifice helps the other guys get out with full health.

Lumi+Jc and third healer helps a lot, i use Daka (stuns+revive). Add Sid and another DD (in my case is a 5* Dooku) and you win GW everyday.

Awwww dude don't do that! It's because of guys like you that I have to face so may Sidious + Daka + Dooku in my GW! They're such a pain. On the other hand, when a see Barriss (and bonus, Chewbacca), then I sit down, relax, my blood pressure goes down and I get ready for some gooood time (or rather, much deserved temporary relief, before the next Poe + IG88 badasses)

Everybody should run Barriss in GW :)

JC is good until late game, then drops off. He was better when the cap was level 60.
