Hey there,

First let me say TY for accepting my application so far, I am very exited to join Pax and start playing the game.

My name is Itai Ezra.
I am from Israel.
31 years old.

In Israel it is mandatory to join the army, so at age 18 I joined the paratroopers.
during my time (3 years), I have jumped 5 times from a plane, fun but scary, not to talk about the fact that you have to carry all your gear after to the meeting spot
I fought in Lebanon and the west bank.

After the army I was sent by the Jewish agency to a Jewish summer camp in Atlanta (Camp Colman), I was a consular for 2 months there, and I loved it.
when camp was over i traveled to Miami, New York, Washington Canada and Mexico, Total of a 4 month trip.

When I was back in Israel I started working in security for the ministry of foreign affairs.
in 2004 they sent me to Hong Kong for 1 year, but I stayed there for a total of 5 years.
had the time of my life there

came back to Israel 1.5 years ago and started studying Software Engineering.

sorry if it came out like a Job interview

I have loved Star Wars ever since I can remember, watched all the movies many times (still do every once in a while), I follow Star Wars: the clone wars cartoon, and I love it.

Hope it was not too long..

Cya all on vent and in the game

Bak.

Hello, welcome to our little slice of the Jedi Library. So what interests you about the Shadow? Just wondering why you picked the class.

[Baktusit]

Double light sabre
I want to have decent DPS close and long range.
Can go in stealth.
I'm not sure if the shadow will have any healing abilities, but if they do, then it is exactly what I want.

Nope, not a single casted self heals.. We get two abilties that can heal us for 1% of our health on a proc. That's it.

Nice to know your from Israel. I heard conditions are hard there, is it true?

[Baktusit]

Actually no, condition in Israel is great.
We have some problems, but it is the same as if I take the murder Rate in NY and tell you that conditions are hard there.

the problem is that the news company only show you the bad, and not the good, so it looks like all is bad in Israel.
You just have to come here and see for yourself

I love it here.

Bak.

Hey there Welcome to Pax!
My it sounds like you've lead an exciting life! o.o

Are you enjoying studying Software Engineering?

[Pax Eternus]

Welcome to the consulars! Wow, you did lots of traveling. I always wanted to visit Israel, I'm sure it would be amazing to see the Holy Land... except I'd probably get sold bogus stuff, lol.

Shadow dps right now is close to mid range; shadow tanks are more like off tank dps; and shadow balance is really force starved. Things are changing, however, there's a new build coming out any day that will hopefully address all these issues

When I started I wasn't sure this is what I want to study, but along the way I came to like it a lot.
It is very interesting and most of all, It is a very dynamic subject, always changing, there is always more to learn, more to invent, the sky is the limit

about the shadow, I don't care about the heals that much, I think I will go for as much DPS as possible.
like you said the "Balance" uses more of the force, which led me to believe he will have some ranged attacks and some close range, if so, he should be good in PvP especially when you have stealth.

[Sticx45]

balance is the shared tree between shadow and sage. Really shadow is very weak in the balance tree as it doesn't suit our melee nature very well. There's no telling what the coming build will change though.

Hi, welcome to the forums. I am from Miami and I have friends who did their service in the Israeli army. They were practitioners of judaism. I've heard great things about that country. I've personally never been but I heard your clubs are amazing.

[Baktusit]

well, I have been to some clubs in Miami, and most of them are much bigger and nicer then in Israel.
but we do have some nice ones, and we have some very good DJs coming to Israel too.

[Lord Marvel]

Welcome to our guild Bak, I hope you will enjoy your stay here

You say you love SW since you remember? Than who is your favorite character and why?

[Baktusit]

it might sounds funny, but my favorite is R2-D2.
If you follow the story closely, he is the smartest "Jedi" of them all.
he always knows what to do, he always save the day.
