Wow thanks for the breakdown Glock, very helpful and much appreciated

Thanks for the quick replies, your insights have been very helpful Then general consensus seems to be to stick with it and things will get better as the lvls roll on by, I'll stay with my vanguard for now and see how things go from there. Thanks!

Heya longtime lurker first time poster here, I would just like to ask what the vanguard playstyle is like. My Vanguard currently is lvl 11, and I find that the synergy between abilities feels a bit clunky, from shooting point blank and smacking enemies with my rifle to shooting lightening, combat doesn't seem to flow if you get what I mean (at least not as well as a melee force user), and I just want to know if this is what I can expect at higher lvls before I decide to shelf my trooper. Thanks!
