Tiek Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 it doesnt suprise me one bit that alot of people chose a class type that can neither tank nor heal. is that really suprising? or has no one else played any other mmo games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahzl Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I play a Jedi Guardian, because I liked Lightsabers and... thats it. I picked it because it was my test class, and just stuck with it. I sometimes get the feeling you people see other players, sitting at the character creation screen laughing maniacally to themselves as they make their FOTM class, saying "Yeeessss I will make all the numbers".

Basically the same type of reasoning I had with my first character. "I like Han Solo, so I'll play a Smuggler first." I like the game enough that I want to experience more than just that though.

Emned Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 My problem is that I really don't like the look of dual wielding lightsabers(this is an understatement) but that my preferred playstyle in general is the DPS kind of playstyle. I have tried to play a guardian but I just suck at it and at 25 I was just tired of playing it. On the sentinel I have way more fun but those darn lightsabers! I had hoped they would have made the choice of one lightsaber, saberstaff or dual lightsabers a cosmetic one but alas, so dual lightsabers it is and a wish that some day they make this a cosmetic choice(although I know they don't). Maybe I should ask them why they made this choice in one of the Q&A's)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndasKastor Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think people should play what they want to play. Distribution be hanged. I have a jedi guardian, imperial agent, and trooper that I play regularly. Why? Because I enjoy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkuzBukit Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 That's why I'm levelling 8 chars, so I'll always have the FoTM available... Not really, just a "completist" (aka nut-job) by nature so I had to have 1 of each & see each story from light & dark angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradLionhart Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 They addressed this, and they say there is nothing they can do if more people want to play a particular class. Maybe they can help out the least picked class by giving them harmless stuff like better looking armor, but short of making them OP, there is no way to balance this. If people want to play a marauder or sentinel, then they are free to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidpop Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I agree, and while we are at it, why is my Bounty Hunter stuck with a blaster, where is my carbine riffels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDiggy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why would I play anything else? Sentinel are one of the best DPS classes if only for their Heroism/Bloodlust ability, and they're the single best PvP class right now. No other class combines their damage, survivability, group utility, and to top it off they're the best 1v1 class in the game. In short, if you aren't playing a Sentinel you're doing it wrong.

Leoness Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Yeah, big surprise that Sent is the most played class when idiots continue to buff them and nerf all others. Bioware knows what its doing. Edited April 8, 2012 by Leoness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree -- Ops should never had been nerfed. The only reason they were supposedly op was because people had not geared up yet. Now look at BM geared Mara's or Jug's and still tell me that operatives can one hit them; I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. And how about nerfing Assassin's 30m range on lightning? Ever see a sin play anything than a tanksin? No...and why ? because the DPS trees were so nerfed its an obscenity. Mara's are the FOTM right now because BW hasn't gotten around to realizing everyone is playing them and hasn't nerfed them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZayneDraay Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Personally, I haven't seen a gap in marauder/sentinel to juggernaut/guardian in my server. If there is one the juggernaut/guardians outway the marauder/sentinels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qoojo Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 This is nothing new. OP classes and higher than normal dps classes are always the most played. The number of people playing a class almost never lie about a class' OP or DPS in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimex Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I would very much like to see these stats once again after v1.2. I suspect many peoples "favorite" advance classes will change once the shift in buffs and nerfs have settle in. With that in mind, OP, can you re-release this data about 2-3 weeks after 1.2 is released? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafkin Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 What really annoys me, and prevents me from playing the classes, is that you only use one hand to wield a double-bladed saber. It looks ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekkau Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Apparently your new to forums, This been posted like 600 times..lol Caused i posted 1 last week on the very same tropic Since they announced a buff to mara/sent that what all the bandwagon players are jumping too.. its the latest and great so they gotto get on top so they can ego boost about pvp..lol.. I been checking around severs and the general starting classes for beginer worlds are sent/maraduars last nite on a server 19 players in Corscaunt 13 sent 2 shadows and 1 gunsligner, 2 troopers, and me Have you thought that it might have something to do with players now knowing what gear to expect, what companion to expect, what story to expect. I have to say that having tried them all I tend to like the Sentinel though I guess Guardian would follow the same plot. There really are only four options for me character wise , forgetting the differing factions, as I don't play Empire. And now it boils down to what the character progress and the fun that levelling is... and the Sage and the Smuggler have terrible companions and I wouldn't play trooper cus eventually you die in a sea of armor. I want to see my character... Using two sabers isn't a real issue and this gives you plenty of options in terms of just how you want to customise the character. In the end the Sentinel is DPS and in this game is not healing, out of combat and what did you say... using computers. Didn't understand that but then I'm knew to Star Wars. A Sentinel is no Rogue or Paladin or Warrior in truth... Just pure Melee DPS is what I find. In the end the Jedi Knight is the true Star Wars hero and I guess most coming to the game know that character best. And if you have to rerun the game again and again its probably the easiest to replay.. Well thats how I feel anyway. Sage would be my choice if I could get rid of that bloody Lizard. Next companion is a healer which is a bit puzzling. I'm playing Sentinel with my companion melee DPS which is potty as I should use the tank but I really can't understand droid chat. They need to let us customise these companions and choose them like in STO, plus the gear and then you may see other combinations coming through. The game kinda fails at end game so levelling is what folk do I guess. Not sure about PvP as I don't play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoth Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) I agree -- Ops should never had been nerfed. The only reason they were supposedly op was because people had not geared up yet. Now look at BM geared Mara's or Jug's and still tell me that operatives can one hit them; I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.. lol First off there is only a small bump in stats from Champion to Battlemaster, so it was not a gear issue.... Maybe if you compare green 50 gear to Battlemaster then yeah... I remember on my fully Champion Geared BH Tank Spec a Operative could knock me down and by the time I got back up 80% of my health was gone..... It was the only class that could do that kind of burst DPS to me... And then a few hits after that would kill me off.... Opeartives were so OP it was not even funny.... Your just sour that your FOTM class finally got nerfed.... And here's the thing Operatives STILL do a great amount of burst DPS so it's not like the nerf left them gimp, it just balanced them with the other classes... Just like Sorc's healing is getting nerfed to bring them more in line with Agent/Smugglers and BH/Trooper healers... You can't just leave alpha classes in the game because a few players want a "I Win Button" Edited April 8, 2012 by Monoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagu Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Perhaps they should raise the skill level required to do well with dual wield. However if they did that then I would gravitate toward it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
