If you’re like me and have been searching for an opportune time to exclaim “Thank you, Germany!!!” then look no further. Thanks to German print mag PC Games, the last two classes available in Star Wars: The Old Republic have been revealed.

BioWare’s upcoming MMO will include a Jedi Consular class and a Sith Inquisitor class. Both are Force users focused less on lightsaber combat and more on the arcane powers of the Force. For details on their powers and focus, check out the translation below, on the SW:TOR forums, user Petrosis has translated a scan of the magazine from German to English.

In my eyes, these two classes are the missing links in the chain that will prevent SW:TOR from turning into a Jedi/Sith Warrior sausage fest. I had serious worries that the game would be flooded by players sticking with only those two classes, but with Consular and Inquisitor in the mix, things just got a lot more interesting.

Just before publishing, BioWare confirmed the two classes officially and stated they will be appearing in numerous print and online publications this week. Thanks to PC Games and Kotaku for cracking the story early!

Below are the direct translations from the German PC Games by Petrosis:

Jedi Consular page:

With sword, charm and the force! The Jedi Consular fights from the second line.
Image middle:
The seventh class is the Jedi Consular. Contrary to the revealed Jedi Knight, several weeks ago, is the Consular not to be found in the first line. Although he can swing the lightsaber too, he masters several ranged fighting skills like “Sleep”, “Lift” or “Smash”. The class can be tuned into damage or healing. Thus is the Jedi Consular one mighty support class in the Old Republic.

Abilities:
Sleep
Lift
Smash
Force Push
Reflect

Beatiful type! The Jedi Consular stretches his arms, focuses his force, and throws the attacking droids with one strike through Force Push on the ground.

Sith Inquisitor page:

I have the force! As a Sith Inquisitor one masters the use of elecricity with ease.
Image top right:
The Sith Inquisitor is the alst of the eight classes tottaly with which SWTOR will launch. The Inquisitor is the opposite of the Consular and is a fighter from the second line. Equipped with force abilities like the “Shock” or the “Lightning Charge” heats his enemies properly, in which we could assure ourselves in one play session. One quest sent us into an ancient Sith-tomb, where crawled with killer worms (K’lor’slug Ravager) and imperial deserters. With the help of the area attack “Overload” near enemies we can not only damage them, but knock them back and stun them for several seconds, and so we cleaned the nest quickly.

Abilities:
Saber Blow
Shock
Execute
Overload
Lighting Charge
Whirlwind
Dark Gift
Call a fare(?)
Dark Meditation
