    Bothan Operative

    in Scoundrel / Operative

    Posted · Edited by ncupton

    I've seen some NPCs that are bothans so the model is there. I've been holding off on making an operative with hopes of the bothan race being playable for years. I did respect the fact that the bothan race might cause inconsistency with story but now that we can make sith and chiss jedi I no longer buy it. Is there a way to vote them into existence in SWTOR?

    Best DPS Class

    in Combat Styles

    Posted

    Always go with the classes that have all 3 specs as DPS like Sent/Mar Snipe/Gun. One of those 3 should always be iat the top of the DPS leaderboards because that's all they can do. It's a broken game if it isn't since the others get the added bonus of armor or healing.

    Most needed class

    Class- Imperial Officer

    Inspired by Thrawn/Akbar

    Class Roles- Buffs/debuffs, control, heal

    Story- Imperial Officer starts out in the Imperial Naval Academy, commands his personal ship, upgrades to a destroyer, then upgrades to controlling a certain fleet in the Imperial Navy. Options for the player include why they enlisted (tragic event, power, patriotism, ect)

     

    Why this class when you already have an imperial agent and republic trooper already as officers?

    The Imperial Agent had little to do with the Imperial Navy and was a pure spy. The Trooper is an officer of people not ships.

    Where do you put the remaining 7 points? I've seen most builds choose between defensive forms or swift slash.

     

    Defensive forms: Speeds up your Zen, a main priority for DPS, and makes you less squishy. (You do less DPS when you are dead because you didn't have a perfect healer)

     

    Swift Slash: DPS increase but also makes you manage force camouflage if you need to aggro dump. Helps you focus on resetting cauterize.

    Why do you think the Agent story is so good?

    1 There's a reason the James Bond franchise has lasted as long as it has and the Agent story captures some of it.

    2 It is one of the only classes where your choices alter the story past the typical light and darkside storylines.

    3 It doesn't copy Thrawn, Tarkin, Bothan Spies as much as the other storylines do with there archetype model. Way more original and less predictable because of it.

    4. The writer went out of his way and took a risk.

    Male vs Female Chiss Sorc

    in Sage / Sorcerer

    Posted

    I am at a stalemate and need help deciding between making a male or female chiss sorc. This is all opinion related but I think the male voice actor is slightly better but think the gear is more better suited towards a female character. (Witch hats, sexy mid drift, skirts) Any thoughts?

    New Playable Race in 1.4 (Cathar to stay or go?)

    in Suggestion Box

    Posted · Edited by ncupton

    I am looking forward to making a Cathar Shadow! Cats are all about quick reflexes and stealth like a Shadow, Assassin, Scoundrel, Sentinel, Marauder, and Operative. Perfect race for SWTOR. Hopefully I can make mine look like a lion. white tiger, or panther. I've only seen the bobcat, mountian lion, jag, and house cat look so far.

    I'm not worried about 1.2, I'm trying to think long term. For instance I had a Ret pally in another MMO but everyone always wanted me to switch to protection or healz to get into raids/groups even with all of the utility a ret pally brings to a group with healing, auras, and mana regeneration. The only downside of the Agent I see is being squishy, but that's really a bad downside since a DPS loss doesn't cause as many repair bills as being squishy.

    I'm about to start on my second character. I'm trying to decide between a gunnery commando and marksmanship sniper. Which will get me more invites to groups and raids? I like that the trooper has heavy armor, but don't want people trying to get me to switch to a healing spec.

    Watchman Companions

    in Sentinel / Marauder

    Posted · Edited by ncupton

    Which companion is best for leveling and which one is best for boss fights? Kira and Doc have been good for trash but Kira dies very easily in flashpoints against the boss. Should I be usig Doc, Scourge, or T7 in flashpoints?

    Is that absolutely true, or only relatively true?

     

    It was a ploy to simply try to get Anakin to think with logic instead of emotion in my opinion. If you can get someone to think analytically when they are mad you can start to reason with them. Thinking with logic or emotion are Jedi vs Sith themes. Clearing your head to think logically would be considered finding peace. If Anakin can't clear his head and think logically but instead only with hate, anger, ect then "he truly was lost" to his emotions and couldn't be reasoned with. Don't get caught up in the paradox it was perhaps intended to be of whether that statement itself was an absolute. Anyways that's a different subject for a different thread. ;)

    Is The IA Story bad ?

    in Combat Styles

    Posted

    finished playing a IA operative and it has been the 2nd best story in the game so far for me. There are twists and turns and it is very well written. Play it to the end I dare you not to love it.

     

    In short bad pve class Really great story

     

    Bad PVE class? You must not have been a Mark Sniper.
