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?

Mine is at lvl 57, gear 7, 5 stars. And I totally depend on him. He is in my main team. And he gets me through the GW. Gear him up and star him up.

I hot him to 5* lvl 7 gear, and that was plenty for GW. Opponent 7* JC hit moderately hard, but nothing catastrophic. You're better off spending resources on another toon after 5* JC, but you still need JC ASAP. His -1 cooldown means he can heal twice per battle if needed, so that you can spare Lumi or Barriss heals until you really need them.

Haven't lost GW in a very long time, Lumi and Daka. No Bariss and JC is there but hardly used. Never in my last 10 GWs at least.

Basically, as long as you have any 2 healers and learn to game GW, it's going to be fine. JC and Bariss are OK, not essential/indispensable. They both have lousy attacks.

I like my JC. 7*70 max gear. Low on skill level but he carries in GW

Personally, I think Lumi and Daka are better in GW. I don't usually need to be healed every other turn, and Lumi's heal lasts 3 turns. I have him 6* gear 8 as a backup, or main healer for squad "b". He's definitely worth leveling. He'll be your best healer for a while. Daka doesn't really start to shine until 5 or 6*

JC is great in the GW table when you have several nodes in a row if 7* max gear teams to face. Fast heals at 4K+ a pop. The bad thing is that he seems to get focused by AI more.

I don't consider Daka a healer because I only use her for the stuns. Barriss is good also when paired with another healer.

I maxed consular. He does not have a spot in my arena team. But I always run him in my GW team since he has a low CD heal that heals for a lil over 4500. He can dish out ok damage. Not great but not horrible.

He was my first 7* and was really good for my team in PVP and GW. He's lost a little value since then, as he wasn't able to acquire any extra gear in the jump from 60 - 70. I subbed him out in arena, but he is, and will likely always be an irreplaceable starter in GW. Solid character.

To answer your question, I'm not really sure. I always leveled and maxed his gear out before my other characters, and focused farming on him, so I feel like he was my mvp until Lumi got to 6*

Couldn't have said it better.
