I'm playing a Sith Warrior - I want a lightsaber. Bad. So, generally, no other class is going to do it for me. I also want to swing it. I like wading into combat, but don't generally care if I'm tough or not.
I want to DPS more than I want to tank. I'd like the option to be there if somebody asks me to tank, y'know? "Hey can you tank for us?" "Yeah, lemme just grab my tanking gear." is how I'd prefer that to go down. Is that possible in SWTOR?
Right now I'm leaning toward the not-Juggernaut (because I can't remember its name). The not-tank one. But I don't know how the class and the advanced classes fit together.
I picked Sith Warrior, so I expect melee DPS. I want to be good at DPS, like I said earlier, if I can also tank just by switching out gear, that'd be nice, but I guess I just want to know... If I pick up Juggernaut does that mean that my DPS will be crap, even if I spec heavy into DPS? And if I pick not-Juggernaut does that mean that I won't be able to tank, even if I spec heavy into the tanking talents?
