I play a commando and I also have and enjoy my PT. The only thing about my VG, that I haven't played in years, has always bugged me is he uses a pistol in many cutscenes instead of his rifle. So with my Commando I'm thinking about choosing PT for the 2nd class since they use a pistol.
Anyone else done this?

I see all the complaints, but I, for one, like freshness in an mmo every so often. Things are different, I like some things, dislike others, but over all I'm happy. Been playing since headstart.
-
Vulkk has great guides on all classes post 6.0. I would check them out.
-
Darth Maul and either Obi-wan or Qui-gon are my favorite force users. I need to read more on Satele, but I feel like I could really like her.

I agree, I always thought an SIS and Empire Trooper story would be a nice addition. Don't listen to the pessimists and nay sayers that just shoot everything down. They complain that water is too wet. Besides, its nice to dream.

i was wandering if i should go plasma or tactics, are there any big differences between the two i should look out for.
I like Tactics for leveling. It has nice single target and aoe burst. Even though the AoE has a smaller area, being able to grapple a mob into your aoe is nice. I haven't past level 60 yet, but I had planned on giving Plasma a try, but I just haven't had time yet.

It doesn't automatically rule out Assassin, though, because you could play the opposite sex, the opposite alignment, romance someone different, etc. The core *story* is the same, but playing it differently gives it a different feel.
Very much agree with this. I had leveled all the classes a several times since release, all as male. I came back a few months ago and for kicks I rolled a female Agent. I was surprised how different it made the story feel. Then I rolled a Female Consular and not only did it feels different, but I liked the voice actress so much more than the male counterpart.
Long story short, I've started leveling all the classes again as female. I feel like I'm playing a the story from a point of view different enough that it feels almost new.

Awesome thanks!

Given that the game has no problem with you being level 75 with 306 gear and no or almost story progress, I think some of the concerns you describe are... far less intractable than you make them out to be.
Another example: when you transfer a character to another server, the game also copies your full collection of achievements for your entire legacy on the old server to the new server, even ones that that character could never have gotten.
That being said: resetting your story choices feels out-of-step with Star Wars, which is a perfectly good reason to not have that. If you regret your choices, regret your choices, and go forward with that. You have / your character has grown and become a different person.
What we really need is a "journal" or something so you can look back and see what choices you actually made.
Mainly I just want to connect to my character through the journey if you will. Not really about choices at this point.
I think it would go a long way to have a journal to look back on. I think, for me, that would be the next best thing. Great suggestion .

I'm a Founder and I've been playing on and off since headstart. I have loved almost every minute of it, especially the class stories. Every time I come back, I have a really hard to reconnecting with the toons I already have and I end up rerolling my character and start from scratch.
I would love to see an option to reset a class story for your toons. I hate having to leave a toon behind because I dont' feel connected to them anymore. Being able to reset the class story and playing through the class story again would solve that.
Anyways, just a suggestion. I know it would probably be a hard thing to do, but one can wish.
Cheers:cool:

What is the "go to" endgame pve spec right now?
-
Hello there,
Putting it simply, in my opinion it goes as follows:
Best dps spec for Commando is Gunnery,
For vanguard, Tactics is the best dps spec for competitive environments such as warzones and plasmatech my go to option for pve.
For assassins deception is indeed my choice for pvp,
To my understanding Telekinetics has been nerfed not too long ago, don't know if that stands. Either way, Balance was always my favourite.
Fury is the best pvp spec for Marauder, carnage is also good for pvp and i like annihilation for pve.
If you want a more indepth look on the specializations i suggest searching the web since there are tons of guides for all the specs and all classes, and they would probably be able to word it better than i can.
Thank you for making your way back to the game and enrichening our community, best regards to you and yours.
May the force be with you, and with your nephew too!
Thanks so much. I hate falling in love with a spec, spend 40-50 hours playing it, then find out it isn't optimal. This just helps me decide where I want to spend my time.
-
I mean is it as good as Fury? probably not but its not as trash as you all seem to think. I play combat in ranked atm and is doing allright most games, and you have carry potential to. There are alot of situations where you can secure kills in a hardstun etc.
Perhaps a 6sec cc immunity after blade blitz or something could be cool but. Personally i dont want this spec to become FOTM..
Btw top rated mara on DM atm got there playing carnage.
This is actually promising to hear. I've been wanting, and have rolled Mara a few times for pvp. What stopped me was that I could just not get into Fury. Carnage on the other hand, i really liked it, but everyone always told me it was garabage in pvp so I just stopped.
I migth start one up again just to play Carange
-
I'd be interested in this too. I'm really looking between Mara and PT myself. My only quirk about the Mara is the Fury has been the go-to pvp spec for awhile now and I have just never liked it. I wish/hope Carnage is or even Anni is more competitive than before.

Hey all, been gone a good long while. My nephew (same household, we are raising him) has been playing my account so who knows what he's been doing. Just had a few questions.
At this time I'm planning a Commando and Assassin as my main toons for each faction and a Sage and Mara as alts. I like Troopers a lot so I might end up rolling a VG also.
For the COmmando, which is considered the better dps spec atm?
For the Vg, if I roll one, which is the better pvp and pve specs there?
For the Assassin, Is deception the way to go for pvp?
For the Sage, will Tk or Balance work better for pve dps?
And lastly the Mara, is Fury still the pvp spec? I know it was when I left, although I never really liked it much. How are the other two Mara specs doing in pvp and pve?
Thanks ahead of time for the replies. A lot of changes have happened since i played obviously and I'm excited to get back into it.
May the Force with with you all

Hey all, I have never healed in an MMO. I might've dabbled in it while leveling, but never even close at end game. I dont' really feel like a Sage or Sorc, so between the other two, which healer would be easier to learn the in's and out's of healing in this game?

Any update on this?!
Running into the same quick play only issuep
Yeah, finally finished after another 3 hours to finish the .3%. So right around 20 hours to update to 6.1.2. Now I can log in! BUT, when I log in it says only starter planets available. W T F !
:mad::mad:Seriously though, wth is going on?
-
I mine as well post here. Got home yesterday afternoon, kicking myself for not updating SWTOR before headaing out an just leaving my pc on. Started updating about 7 hours ago. Took me 30mins to get to 95%, then the other 6 and a half hours to get to 97.05%. I tried all the solutions posted in this thread, I'm not using the ST launcher. Don't have the new Nvdia driver, etc.

Just wanted to update. After 17hours, I'm now at 99.71%. At least its moving.

DPS Juggs are perfectly fine for regular PVP. In fact they are one of the most played classes and will often top DPS scores. I would stick with juggs for both tanking and dps if you only want to play normal warzone. But you want to mess with ranked, then go for fury mara and get the Defel Spliced Genes tactical. I dare say it makes maras every bit as OP as sins and opers right now, if not more so.
Awesome, thank you. When it comes to tanking and pve, I almost always just play whatever class I want unless a given guild or raid leader politely asks otherwise. But when it come to competitive goals, I want to play something that will work best with the playstyle I like.
-
Well, since Juggs and PT's are out for me atm pvp wise, what melee class is doing okay? I really don't want to roll a Shadow or Assn since I have never liked playing them. Operative maybe? Are Mara's or Sents doing any better than Jugg's or PT's?
I'pll still roll a Jugg for Pve tanking, but will need another melee toon for pvp fun. yes, I will be doing ranked, or at least that will be the goal to achieve this month.
-
Coming back after a long break. I want to roll one of these classes to tank with at end game but also be able to pvp on the side. Which of these classes has a better pvp dps spec? Which tree is considered the pvp tree for each of these classes?Never been a fan of playing a tank spec in pvp. I would consider rolling a mara or sent alt if the PT or Jugg are just horrible at pvp.
Thanks

Founder here, been gone over a year this time. l will probably start a new toon just to play through the story so I can re immerse myself into the world. I'm looking between a Jugg and a BH. I know my main role will be tanking. I understand how both classes work for the most part when it comes to tanking unless there have been big changes I dont' know about. So as long as both these classes can tank all content I'm not worried about which tanks better.
I have never played either of these classes as DPS or PvP. Between these two classes, which do you prefer in these scenarios and why? Not worried about OP'ness, more what you think is fun and why.
Last question, I had read some people felt like Force-less classes felt a little wierd when playing through the current storyline. Is that still the case?
Glad to be playing again, good to be back. See you in game

While I do want my high threat abilities to work better, it's not anything to do with maintaining aggro that makes me leave que and go solo flashpoints instead.
Tanks tend to run with friends/guild members for a reason.
You get a lot more bad dps then good ones. Not so much that they can't dps, but they can't follow the simplest rule of 'let the tank lead'.
You want more tanks in que? Get rid of the dps who want to pull the fights.
(I can't understand those dps who pull enemies. When I dps I don't want aggro, and am more than happy to let the tank take the hits.)
I recently had this discussion on an MMO discord channel. People wanting Dev's to take away the need for tanks. Myself and probably 3 or 4 other players that play tanks regularly chimed in that none of us ever pug groups. We said we dont' think the tank shortage is as bad as it appears, more that tanks don't want to play with bad/disrepsectful players which, in my experience is literally 8 out of every ten pugs, and thats being generous. I know and have heard lots of tanks saying they never pug.
Players used to be more respectful than they are now a days.

VG vs PT for Trooper
in Commando / Mercenary
Posted
yeah, I've been sitting here trying out different styles, and I'm feeling this also, some of the PT abilities feel too out of character for me. I don't want to choose another ranged class, and a stealth class I just dont see either for my character and his backstory. I might just go VG. I'm picky when it comes to lore and Role playing. They have to meld.
