I am a n00b

[nocluez]

Yes, this is my first MMO. I'm just looking to get my feet wet and see if I like this. So I want to know, is this a n00b friendly class? Also, what are some good resources like websites, builds etc.? Thanks!

Every class in SWTOR is easy enough to comfortably finish your classquest with. So I'd highly recommend prioritizing the kind of class you want over how new-player-friendly they are. Maurauder isn't the easiest class to learn and definitly not the easiest to master, how-ever you don't need to be amazing to get through story content (and thus building up experience to become brilliant.) On top of that you get a healer companion really early on (~level 20) which is a slow but very safe option for any class.

 

I think there're people more fit to provide good links, how-ever (and I know this is more or less blashphomy) Noxxic.com is a relatively decent site to pick up the robes of a class, for end-game it won't be any good though. Besides that class forums often offer a lot of help. Word your question and loads of helpful people will answer.

 

The basics:

• Your weapons are 2 lightsabers (1 comes in a bag when you chose your advanced class, check your inventory.)
  
• Your armour is medium, wear adeptive or medium, never light.
  
• Your main-stat is Strenght, meaning you do not want any gear that does not have strenght on it.
  
• Your role (in any skilltree) is DPS, meaning you should avoid stats like: Absorb/Defence/Shield.
  
• Companions have their own main-stat, remember to update their gear, your first 2 companions wear medium armour and have the main-stat Cunning.
  
• Yes, all skilltrees are awesome and viable, respec (for subs it's free) is available at skill mentor on the fleet, combat section.
