bowiehero Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 50. Save your medals for Champion bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Right now? 50. I'm sorry, but you show up as level 10 in a WZ which is predominantly level 50, you are just beyond useless. You can't even scratch them, they 2-3 shot you back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even scratch them, they 2-3 shot you back. My level 15 Merc typically tops healing and is able to get 2 of the Damage medals while doing it, as well as the kill x, killing blow, and 1v1 medals.

NinjaBawls Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 When you are good enough at your class, you do not need companions to level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawfox Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 10 is the right level to start ! some lvl 50 cant even play their class, there is always a good chance to get some company and kill it ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incomprehensible Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 10! But, I'm speaking as a healing class. The bolster system is very nice to healing classes, as long as you keep your gear up, For a sorcerer, stack willpower till you can put on your level 20 pvp stuff, then move into crit as it becomes available. I'm assuming the other healers do as well with their respective healing stats. I'm 30 and most of my exp from 10-30 has been in pvp. I only do my storyline quests to advance the character, I hate PVE. I'm alway at or near the top of the list for healing. I'm ususally at or near the top of the list for objective points. Don't try to killspam, support your team, pay attention to the map's objectives, and you will do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liegence Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If you have good gear and know your class then you can start asap and make a contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abanoth Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Start early. Geared 50 premades will destroy you regardless whether you're at 10 or 49 anyway and it'll teach you teamwork and working with others since you know you're at a disadvantage in a 1v1.

AttackAdaClones Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) My consular is a healer and kind of worthless in PVP unless I have the right group, being a healer. My trooper is often in the top 3 for dmg at level 15. It is very weird. It depends on your class and your build, I think.

Lyability Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Don't bother PvPing until they fix the brackets. You're just feeding medals to the lvl 50s. Make them work for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feztonio Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) as soon as you train your advanced class and leave the newbie planet.. at lvl =10. from 10-20 you need 2800 warzone points to gear yourself and one companion with the lvl 20 blue gearz (it caps at 1000, so buy a few pieces and bank them). from 20 to 40 you should also be saving at least a full set of the lvl 40 blues for yourself, and a full set for one companion; the xp and credits are more than worth your while as well; if you have more time you can save sets of 40 gear for your other companions as well... 40 to 50 you should do it a bit as well just because you've been pvp'ing for 40+ levels, so why stop now hahaha at 50, keep pvp'ing.. mostly so in 3 years you can tell folks how awsome you are by saying .."i've been playing since they let lvl 50's in with everyone else in pvp" L33T Edited January 11, 2012 by Feztonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopernicous Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I myself start pvp when I can at lv 10. I may get owned a lot as I work my way up in levels but its a good way to get xp, pvp exp and accommodations.

tindin Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 just curious on when is a good lvl to start pvping without getting demolished. abd also should i save all my commendations for later when i hit in 40s or use them as i lvl up to get gear. thnks i would say start right way win or loss, mainly for the valor and so you know how pvp works by lvl 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyuz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) well as soon as you feel like...but keep in mind that a pvp geared lvl 50 with half a brain will treat you like a mob at low low lvls.

Maxxacre Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Don't let these people scare you away from PvP by telling you that if you're not level 50, you're screwed. First of all, they are about to introduce a separate bracket just for level 50s... so any problem they pose in PvP right now will soon be eliminated to those who are not 50. Secondly, you are not going to consistently get 2-3 shot and remain unable to do any damage to anyone in a warzone if you're not level 50. That's ludicrous. I have characters of various levels, and on all of them I started to feel useful in PvP at about level 18. Sure, you aren't going to have all your abilities, your full spec, good gear, any expertise... but you'll pretty much have your core abilities in most cases. Thirdly, by abstaining from PvP until higher levels, you are going to gimp yourself in several ways: (1) you will be under-leveled in valor, which you should be grinding out all the way to 50 rather than waiting until then... because then you're going to delay getting gear otherwise; (2) you are going to be unskilled at PvP if you start at higher levels. It is a learning experience, and you should learn how to use each ability you get throughout the levels in PvP as you get it. If you wait, you'll know your abilities for PvE... but you will not have a fundamental understanding of how each skill works in PvP and what its benefits are, and because of that you're going to have a lot to learn all at once. It should be that every time you get a skill, you go into PvP and you figure out how it can best be used. That way you will actually be able to skillfully use your class at level 50. So essentially what I'm saying is you need to start PvPing at level 10, and never get discouraged even when you feel useless. Treat it like a learning experience and grow from it when you get rocked.

Seductivpancakes Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I started when I got a stun and a anti CC skill. I normally do okay, unless I get in the game that is near its end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acindo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If you know how to PvP start at 10. If you don't know how to PvP start at 10 and learn. Don't listen to people that sook about a low level. I have levelled mostly from PvP and found I could contribute at low levels with a bit of thought.

Spifnar Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This is class dependent, but most classes get a class defining ability at L20, L30 and L40 from the skill trees. As an Operative, I felt gimped doing anything before L20 (Kolto Probe lets you be a healer). I was also sub-par DPS until L40 and Acid blade...although I possibly could have gone lethality at L30 and done medium DPS But, no matter what, if you don't keep your gear as up-to-date blues/purples, it will be tough. ie, if you are L26, but wearing L20 blue. Then the game will bolster as if you are a L50, wearing L44 blues *not verified*, but this is roughly how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
