Jaesa as my healer would be a dream team. Then I could keep her from 40-50 as well.

You can't on live. In beta you could, but too many people apparently didn't think that "Kill him" really meant it and then subsequently got pretty pissed that they just lost their healer for good.
That intensely disappoints me.

Seriously, it's a spoiler!
Was I the only one who was intensely disappointed that we could not slaughter Quinn, or have Lieutenant Pierce execute him, as payment for his betrayal? He said it himself that Darth Baras would never forgive it. Why are we forced to accept it?

Starting out Commando, you're able (once you have Jorgan) to solo 2 and 4 man Heroics, at least up to Coruscant. And since you've already played a Powertech...Commando would be more fun. Unlike as a BH, you don't start with a healer, so starting as the healer yourself with a good ranged DPS companion is another interesting switch.

You're fresh out of the acadamy. You're a kid in any veterans eyes.
You start out as a Sergeant.

Am I the only one that was ready to punch Gearbox in the face? My Trooper is this big, bearded dude with weathered features, and the intro is some dude calling him a kid eight times a minute for the first conversation. It's like they wrote the dialogue assuming we'd all be playing teenagers.
To be fair, later in the story, they treat you more like Commander Shepherd. But starting out, it's obnoxious.

I have leveled up in a duo as a Commando/Operative, and we're getting ready to do it again as a Sage/Knight.
It seems to me that with the sole exception of doing level 50 hard modes, there is no need at all for a tank. As we were capable of doing pretty much all 1-49 four man content with a Commando and Operative, (using mainly Mako and Kaliyo).
It made me question whether to bother going Guardian as a Jedi Knight. In the long run, the Sentinel's CC in being able to disable droids, and the vastly higher killing rate, combined with frequent use of Rebuke and the Sage armor buff/healing, seems like it would make heroics and flashpoints easier than as a tank.
It just seems like whatever modest damage is soaked up by being a tank, is more than made up for by being able to kill things faster.
I mean. If you've run enough flashpoints, you'll know that the real reason powertechs/vanguard are the best tanks, is because they have the AoE abilities to grab random threat easier (despite this being sorta unneeded in the way SWTOR tanking works) and it's easier at range to avoid the tons of 'special' attacks that will destroy you. Like that heroic 4 on Dromund where the boss lady calls down the lightning on her. A roflstomp with two ranged PCs, but repeated wipes with four melee PCs.
So given that I'm committed, for story reasons, to play a Jedi Knight, it just seems that going Guardian is unneeded, unless you intend to tank Hard Mode content or raids. But as far as duo purposes, it would actually be more self-defeating. (Especially since the Sage and Knight both get tank companions the first 20 levels anyways).

No need to be rude and call people names, just because they don't agree with you.
You cannot compare Swtor to Warhammer, when you only (by the sound of it) beta tested Warhammer. Doesn't matter if you can see the same trends and where the game is going. You still have no evidence of your facts.
What's rude is to willfully misrepresent what I was saying to make your own point. And I don't know what you're smoking, but I can compare SWTOR to Warhammer, because I have played both games. How are you not comprehending that? That's all the evidence I need.
-
Ahhh so your an OP player whose crying because you cant one shot anyone anymore. Thanks for playing, feel free to go back to world of roguecraft.
I didn't call out any specific changes in my post, but it's interesting that in your own mind, you equate 'hypersensitive knee-jerk response time' to the recent OP changes.
-
So you base your whole opinion around the fact, that you beta tested Warhammer?
First of all, you lack evidence - no evidence, your arugument is invalid.
As much as I agree that Warhammer has a clunky gameplay (yes, it's not more than 2 weeks ago I played it), I fail to see the resemblance between Swtor and Warhammer. In fact, I can't find anything they do have in common, besides the fact they're both an mmorpg.
I base my opinion around the fact I've played both games, jagoff. Not that I just beta tested one. Point is, I'm seeing all the same trends I saw in Mythic's class balance/approach to PvP repeated here, and I know where it ends.
-
I didn't play warhammer man, however I am playing and enjoying this game. If your not happy then go find another game, it's as easy as that.
You might enjoy it less if you could spot the familiar trends and anticipate where things might be headed.

If someone had warned me that the same devs from Mythic's Age of Warhammer were the ones handling our classes, I would have seriously reconsidered my decision to sub. There are just too many similarities between SWTOR and Warhammer...ridiculous class design, zerg warzones, a hypersensitive knee-jerk response time to little issues that will work themselves out when people L2P while ignoring the major issues, clunky abilities. Not to mention, lots of unwarranted hype (can anyone else remember how incredibly over-hyped Warhammer was, by that one big British bearded dude who was in all in the videos?)
I remember hearing about how Bioware were originally seeking employees with no previous MMO experience. That would've served them better than having anything to do with Mythic's leftovers.
The areas of the game where I enjoy SWTOR, is basically the story and group conversations, and where it reminds me most keenly of Bioware games. Everytime I pay attention to class balance or PvP, I just get nightmare flashbacks to Warhammer (a game I beta tested).

what a knee-jerk, stupid change. So just castrate us across the board, based on situations that revolved around expertise-geared 50s jumping lowbies.

I ran into this the other day running through a flash point.
I selected Need for my companion. Someone got really mad at me for doing that.
I explained that I use my companion 90% of the time outside of groups and one way of getting decent gear is through flashpoints. Getting gear through questing is only ok gear. I am not about to buy gear all the time. I have a sorc and my companion is a tank. I use my tank a lot.
Am I wrong on selected Need for my companion?
I would like to get peoples opinion on this since this game I think is a little different then other games since we have companions.
My argument is since I use my companion 90% soloing, I feel as my companion and me are treated as 1.
You should have rolled greed, if it was for your companion.

Look, here's the bottom line: if a piece drops that's an upgrade for my companion but not for me, I'm going to roll Need on it.
Hell, I'll even roll Need on it if it's four players in the group. My companion needs to keep their gear updated just like I do, so their output is acceptable while I'm out questing on my own. I spend the majority of my time questing on my own. I'm in a Flashpoint for 30 minutes tops.
Companions are extensions of the player characters. It isn't going to change. I'm not going to roll Need on an item that requires a specific class and alignment unless I'm both of those things. But if a piece drops for, say, Jaesa (light armor with Endurance and Willpower), and it doesn't put a class or alignment requirement on it, and it's an upgrade from what she currently has in that slot, I'm going to roll Need on it.
I was in there, I helped down the boss, I have as much right to a piece of gear as any of the other players. It's no one else's business what I do with that gear.
I hate people like you.
By you, I mean, people who absolutely fail to understand the difference between 'need' and 'GREED'.

Once you're decked out in Centurion+ gear, purple 50s and have biochem at 400, you can use whoever you want. Failing that, it's Quinn or the ship droid.
