So far i love the class. I know im going to get blown up the moment i jump on a target which is fine, i normally play stealth rogue types and that seems to always be the case. My concern... once i get to endgame, will i b completely overlooked as a DPS op? i cant see a group wanting a dps op over other dps classes for HM, operations, rated WZ's etc... and rated WZ's are something i am most definitely interested in. but i realize i will need to participate in endgame PvE like operations, etc.. Would i b better off rolling a sin ? should i say fck it and keep going w the op in hopes that a future patch will make me viable ? Thanks !! i know a few of these questions have been asked/answered but they are outdated, just want to know if the info is still accurate

Love the sin class, im only lvl 28 I pvp at least a couple times a day, same w FP's Would it be faster to lvl as a tank spec or go straight up the deception tree? i wouldnt mind tanking but honestly i dont know the FP maps well enough to lead a group thru it. Also a few minor questions; i should stack power over crit? and i should not use anything w expertise as it will gimp me?? Any other pointers, tips and advice i would really appreciate. Im sorry if these questions have been asked and answered, but some of the info seems outdated. I did skim thru the forums but most of the stuff seems for end game and i just wanna be able to get to max lvl asap Thanks in advance !!

hello comunity!!! I am a very confused individual, i have gotten about 4 classes to lvl 12 and i cant decide which one to focus on for engame. A little about what i wanna do... PvP is the main thing for me. it is in every game, PvE has always been a way to get gear, etc.. that being said, swtor pve is pretty fun so i love to PvP and i want to get into grp endgame(fp, raids, etc) and when it comes to PvE i love to smah faces as much and for as long as possible. i guess i will b pugging alot until i find a decent guild/grp but thats fine my choices and confussions are; operative: love the fell of this class, its smooth to me. love stealth, can throw a few heals -if i go DPS will i never get invited into a grp endgame or structured pvp?? i mean are heals the only reason to pvp w an op ? i plan on pvping alot and i dont wanna be JUST a healer. (i also hear its a very cool story line) assasin: love 2h lighsaber and facepalm lightning, love stelth -similar question but i dont wanna be JUST a tank. how r assasins at DPS endgame.. would a grp invite me to DPS, wouldnt they prefer a sorc or mara? marauder: love the leap, dps, just smashing everything -not sure of the utility here, but dual lightsabers seems pretty bad ***. Seems like every grp needs one??( maybe) and pvp i am sure i can destroy people quick. no stealth is kinda meh but its a trade off for the dps maybe ? -Jug: dont know much about this class but pretty sure its a basic tank, everyone needs a tank.. pv, pvp, etc I guess to sum it up, i want a DPS class that is fun as hell in PvP and can get into grps endgame ? i know its a vague question, i just dont want to spend all my effort on a class and find out its not what i was expecting. Thanks, and sorry fro the wall of text revo

DAoC literally owns the rights to the term "RvR" realm vs realm And no one has take their idea of a 3 realm system... Always someone to fight and even if there was a hib vs mid fight u were always worried about alb jumping in to either help on or destroy both. Hands down the most exciting pvp I've ever been involved in. Zerg vs Zerg, 8v8, small man vs small man, and 1v1. Hell I've even seen skilled 8mans take out a Zerg or a small man take out an 8man.

Ok, ive decided to take those points out of inflammation. I've been lookin thru recommended watchman specs but, the ones I've looked at, and felt the op knew what he/she was talking about , seem to b outdated. Again I'm only lvl 23 but if anyone can link me to a "cookie cutter" watchman spec I'd appreciate it. I love to pvp, and I pretty much pve class quests and some heroics when I see a "LF DPS". Once I learn more about the class I'm sure I'll form my own opinions, but for now I'm just looking for a little direction. Thanks again !!!

Once again, u guys nailed it.. I used Kira to finish one of the class quests (forget the name, but was on taris) we basically just rolled thu and killed so quick there was no need for downtime... Just kept killing. I like my t7 but Kira is kinda hawt lol. I just wish she put her saber away once in a while. It seems like its always out. I'm am embarrassed to say I didn't know about the (dismiss the companion and re summon for a full heal) that's a great idea... Once again I just have to say I love this class. I don't think It's over powered, I hope they don't need it from other people qq'ing. Thanks again for alll the responses everyone !!!

Thanks everyone, best class community yet!! Everyone is so helpfull . Last nub question... Stick w t-7 to lvl untill I get doc right? I'm cybertech anyway so atleast I can keep his gear blue.

I've been looking at alot of specs posted in the forums, and I've noticed many for go the 31 point watchen abil: "merciless slash" It looks like a "must have" to me, but is there any reason not to pick this up ?

Okay, thanks for the quick and insightful responses, it makes sense to have both available. And the thought of. (tab>leg slash>tab>leg slash) as people try to advance is a great idea, and makes me giggle. Love this class so far, its so fluid. The game i use to play, DAoC, snares and other cc would actually cut the duration in half if applied twice. I.e. if I "shield slammed" someone, they would b stunned for 9 seconds.. If I did it imediately again, it would cut the duration to 4.5 secs (been a while but I think that's how it worked) but that is not true in SWTOR ?

Hi, I'm kinda new to this class (only lvl 23) but the more I read about rotations for pvp, it makes me wonder if putting points into (inflammation) might be just as good as leg slash since I will always be applying cauterize anyway? The only reason I ask is because I'm already running out of room for my hot keys lol. It applies a 50% slow 100% of the time. My apologies if I overlooked something Thanks !

This is all a joke right?? Nutin to see here ?

So a brief history of my mmo experiences; DAoC(played a ranger, inf, nightshade, hunter, shadow blade) Rift (rogue assasin spec) and a few other mmo's.. And I know it's weird but I just couldn't get into WoW The pvp in DAOC was probably the best experience I've had in an mmo to date. Clearly I like to play stealthier type classes. I went with a shadow for a bit, but I rerolled on "the fat man" server like alot of u because of population issues. I decided to give scoundrel a shot because they seem to b more of a "hit n run" type class I tend to work strange hours and I have been accustomed to playing solo and q'ing for pvp solo. I've read a ton of negative posts about the scoundrel and although I dont usually listen to trolls or QQ'ers, this many people can't be wrong. I've also played mmo's long enough to know that class buffing/nerfing happens frequently and I'm sure the sun will shine again for the scoundrel. I want to b able to sneak behind enemy lines and drop a healer or a free casting (whatever). Is it possible right now w the scoundrel. Can a scoundrel get into end game raids (I mean y not grab a setinal for dps). My 2 choices are scoundrel or sentinel.. I enjoy stealth but I hate being useless ..... so I'm a bit torn. Any insight to the scoundrel class would be helpfull, and after reading a brief synopsis of my playstyle I hope someone out there has had the same problem and can tell me what they did Thanks

What about crew skills. I wanna pick up a set of skills that will help out my ac, making $ from it isn't all that important for me.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't had much time to play so I'm finally gonna hit 10 tonight.. I just wanna be ahead of the "game" and get my research done. I'm getting knee surgery so I'll have plenty of time to get leveling next week.
