What are the most used classes in the game? I've seen a lot of assassins on the sith side and some shadows on the republican side, but what are the most used and also least used classes in the game? Would be great to hear some opinions. (or facts)

I see way more Marauders than any other class. Next up would be Mercenary and then everything else kind of falls in line...though it seems like I see less Operatives than anything else.

 

Most like because leveling is just so... horrible. The damage while leveling is just terrible due to the mechanics. Compared to Mara/Sent where you just roflstomp your way to cap.

It would be worth knowing how many players are DPS, Tanks, Healers...

It may help people decide on their advanced path....

 

In the Group Finder on ToFN, I have no problems getting into a group as Shadow Tank, But change to DPS and I can sit for anything up to 30/40 mins for the queue to trigger.

Marauder   37,535
Assassin   34,389
Operative   32,037
Juggernaut   27,710
Sorcerer   25,696
Sniper   24,260
Powertech   24,069
Mercenary   23,165

Shadow   30,207
Sentinel   27,087
Guardian   24,283
Scoundrel   20,368
Commando   18,254
Sage   17,821
Vanguard   14,977
Gunslinger   13,318

Based on the number of posts in each class forum, Mara, Sin, Op, Jugg and their mirror classes seem to be the most popular. Marauder / Sentinel and Assassin / Shadow are the top two on both sides.

Empire   228,861 (0.58)
Republic   166,315 (0.42)

The overall faction balance looks to be about 60/40, which is around where it's been at since launch.

 

Sniper   10,942 (+0.82)
Powertech   9,092 (+0.60)
Operative   11,669 (+0.57)
Sorcerer   7,875 (+0.44)
Marauder  10,448 (+0.38)
Imp / Pub   62,546 (+0.37)
Mercenary   4,911 (+0.27)
Juggernaut   3,427 (+0.14)
Assassin   4,182 (+0.13)

These are the differences in number of posts for each AC vs. its mirror. So, there are 10,942 more Sniper than Gunslinger posts, which means the larger faction has 82% more posts for that AC compared to the smaller. The overall difference across factions is 0.37 or 37% (about 1/3 more posts in Imp class forums vs. Pub).

 

So this suggests that if you play both sides, you might find the Empire side seems relatively overrun with Snipers, Powertechs, Operatives and Sorcerers, compared to the Republic side. Marauder and Mercenary will probably seem about as popular on both sides. Guardian and Shadow appear to be a bit underplayed on the Republic side.

Not sure where we went from game population to post activity. they do not correlate. people come to the forums for two reasons generally:

 

they want to complain, and

they play PvP (which means they complain allot....or boast allot...or are just looking for advice. they are active, one way or the other).

 

and there are a small group of people who post ALLOT, so you have most likely 5% or less of the games population contributing to 75% of the actual posts. so...not really a good indicator of actual class participation in the game.

 

Just wanted to point that out. were talking about popular classes in game...not about classes talked about the most.
