Jedi Knight Abilities List

The Jedi Knight's abilities are listed below in three sections; the first set of abilities is available to all Knights. At level 10, the Knight must choose an Advanced Class, either the dual-wielding Sentinel or the better-protected Guardian. Additional abilities for the Guardian and Sentinel are listed in separate sections below. Talents for both Advanced Classes can be seen here.

The primary attribute for the Knight is Strength. Strength increases the damage and critical chances of the Knight's Melee and Force powers. This remains so for both the Sentinel and the Guardian Advanced Classes.

Resource: Focus

The Jedi Knight resource is called "Focus". Like a Warrior's Rage, Focus starts at zero and builds in combat using certain abilities (like Strikes), and can be spent on higher-damage abilities (such as Slashes). Focus decays back to zero when combat is over. Maximum Focus is 12 points. In the "Cost" column of the ability tables below, a positive number (+2) indicates an ability which builds Focus, and a negative number (-3) indicates an ability which spends Focus.

The information listed below is incomplete, and is subject to change at any time. It is gathered from a variety of sources; see links of the front page. The damage numbers listed in the various descriptions should not be relied upon, as they are dependent on level, gear and other factors (different sets of numbers were taken from screenshots of characters of different level, so they often don't match up). Also, some attributes such as costs, cooldowns and durations may be affected by talent choices. If you see something that is missing or incorrect, feel free to correct me.

See the Abilities Overview page for a list of generic abilities available to all classes.
