I was poking around and read something about a convention on Typhon where the force was kind of discovered but where did the foce really origionate. Was it used before the advent of space travel in that galaxy? Maybe on some planet at our current level of development? I really didnt find a concrete answer as to where it first poped up.

First of all Thank you all for your replies. I'm pretty sure I'm going to level a few classes/races based on the advice given. Seems like sage and Jedi Knight may be for me but I'll give just about anything a shot once. As far as story line...... Well nothing was as epic to me a leveling my first toon on WoW. Getting to new zones, learning new abilities, quest lines...etc...So far SWTOR IMO is much better in terms of story and character development and personalization. I have a shadow that is only level 14 and I'm really clueless as to what im doing just like I was with WoW at first, but so far it has a much more epic feel to it.

OK so a little back story here first. I played WoW since BC and am just sick of it so I got me some SWTOR. I always played a caster DPS for my main and a dual wield meledps/tank hybrid ( Mage/Death Knight). I like the Idea of the glass cannon doing rediculous damage but being squishy does have its drawbacks leveling. Either way Id just like massive damage output. I mean, whats the point of playing DPS if you're not topping meters...lol? Any suggestions on what class and spec may suit me best would be greatly appreciated. So far I played a Jedi Knight and this toon I'm posting from.
