You seem to like classes that can hold their own while dealing damage directly. From your previous played classes and your favoured characters I can deduct the following: 1. Sith Warrior-Sith Jugger-Vengeance. This is pretty straightforward and I think you yourself doubted this. It is more PR less like a damage oriented Paladin. Direct, tough and like an archetypical Sith. 2. Sith Warrior-Sith Marauder-Rage. This choice isn't as obvious as previous one because it activates later. But once it activates, oh boy! Shi-Cho gives +10% DR(this is... ), huge swings of damage etc. This fits as well. Important: Rage is way better at Mara(imo) and, overall, gives more of what you want @ Mara as well. It is like an atypical DW Warrior(typical being sorta like Carnage). The question you need to ask yourself: Marka or Naga? When you answer this, you'll know the answer. There you have it!

-Silver- Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Are there any classes built around speed and agility? In previous MMOs I've always adored classes with high mobility (Druid in WoW for speedy cat form, cheetah form, jumping into flight form etc, and an Orc Tyrant in Lineage where you can switch totems around for insane attack speed or insane movement speed). I seem to love hybrid classes in MMOs with a focus on mobility, and I'm struggling with my Shadow and Sniper characters in SWTOR since they're much slower in comparison (Shadow is uber-tanky with low damage, Sniper has great damage but very slow initiation and cover ability means I'm rooted in place when using most skills).

Cuiwe Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Right, I am reviving this because I was FINALLY able to resub. Tbh, I think that Cartel Coins would be more appropriate + more cheap, but what's here is here. Enough of that. If you have trouble choosing your class and you're in dillema or even in trillema-feel free to ask! I am at your service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is something to be said here after all. A tanky DPS with a focus on AoE DoTs. As well as Faction/alignment Neutral. I think that the only class that fits would be a Bounty Hunter PowerTech. I'd even go as far as to say a hybrid between the Advanced Prototype and the PyroTech trees, but seeing how they keep making classes more and more bland(ehm..."balanced" yes! Of course!) that suggestion is out of the window. Try either of those two talent trees. Bounty Hunter PowerTech Advanced prototype OR PyroTech If you are willing to go a bit more Factional, you could also play(now there are some actual sacrifices here): Jedi Shadow/Sith Assassin Balance/Madness This makes you considerably more vulnerable than Bounty Hunter, but one could argue that damage is higher. Lesser DoTs as well. Jedi Sentinel/Sith Marauder Focus/Rage Now, the Shii-Cho's talent tree makes you really uncannily resilient. I'd argue that is the pinacle of the meaning "tanky DPS" in this game. Is there a catch? Of course there is! Your DoTs...aren't. They disappeared! It's completely DD focused.

Cuiwe Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) What kind of a host would I be if I didn't give you an example? You'll get my answers, so you know what to expect: Def: 9 Supp: 2 Dmg: 6 L.Side: 8 D.Side: 3 Empire: 9 Republic: 2 Sabre: 6 Force: 3 Tech: 8 Guns: 7 Armour: Heavy Dual wield: Neutral Big: No Stealth: No Method: Over Time Scope: Area Char: Jango/Boba Fett XP: White Lion (Guardian)/Knight(Glory)/Shadow Warrior(Skirmish)[WAR], Survival Hunter(wow), Beastmaster/Warlord/Chloromancer/Archon(Rift), Brute Barbarian/Spirit BS/2H Conq(AoC), Mesmer/Paragon(GW 1) Result(s): core class-alternate class-talent tree 1. Bounty Hunter-Powertech-ShieldTech/Adv.Prototype 2. Trooper-Vanguard-Tactics/Assault 3. Inquisitor-Assassin-Darkness Honorable mention: Agent-Sniper-Lethality Ok, so I decided to update my own info: Def: 9 Supp: 1 DPS: 7 L.Side: 9 D.Side: 2 Empire: 3 Republic: 8 Sabre: 5 Force: 7 Tech: 8 Guns: 6 Armour: Heavy Dual Wield: Neutral Big: Neutral(saberstaves are ok as are snipers. Cannons-not nearly as much) Stealth: No Method: Neutral-slight lean towards DoT Scope: Neutral-slight lean towards AoE Results: 1. Bountyhunter: PowerTech(ShieldTech) or Trooper: Vanguard(Assault) 2. Jedi Consular: Jedi Shadow(Kinetic Combat) 3.

Econometrix Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Cuiwe, I am leveling a couple of classes and am developing my preferences as we speak. However, as a researcher, I am intrigued by your survey. My responses appear below. I assume a positive scale where 1= least important and 10= most important. Defence: 1-10 [4] Support(Healing): 1-10 [5 - In a support role, I am more comfortable playing a healer than tank, but having heals available to me while fulfilling a dps role is not terribly important] Damage: 1-10 [9] Light Side(Good+Lawful alignments): 1-10 [2] Dark Side(Evil+Chaotic alignments): 1-10 [8] Empire: 1-10 [9] Republic: 1-10 [3] Lightsabers: 1-10 [7] The Force: 1-10 [8] Tech Gadgets: 1-10 [6] Guns(Blasters, Snipers, etc): 1-10 [4] Armour: Light(robes)-Medium(leather/uniforms)-Heavy(plaSTEEL) [No preference, light acceptable] Dual Wielding: Yes-No [No preference] Big Weapons(two handed): Yes-No [No strong preference, saberstaff is cool but obviously directs one to two classes] Stealth: Yes-No [Preferred] Method of damage: Direct-Over Time [No strong preference, dot acceptable] Scope of damage: Single Target-Multi Target(Area) [strong multi-target preferred {holdover from playing EQ2 warlock}] Favourite SW character: <insert name>-none [Grievous {walking Cuisinart}] Prior MMO experience/liked class(es)/etc: <insert class(es)>-none [Casters typically {EQ2: warlock (main), illusionist, coercer, WoW: warlock (main), mage, GW2: elementalist (main)}] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuiwe Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Madness and Lightning Sorcerer. It all points there. Especially towards madness one. DoTs, prior xp, armour, scope, everything. It even achieves at least 4 on Defence by having those strong CCs of his. Enjoy! Edited July 30, 2014 by Cuiwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonichiwaWitch Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This sounds like fun! I have a bunch of old alts, but haven't played this game in more than two years, and so much has changed. Here are my preferences, and I'm interested in your opinion: Defence: 5 Support(Healing): 7 Damage: 9 Light Side: 10 Dark Side: 1 Empire: 5 Republic: 5 Lightsabers: 5 The Force: 7 Tech Gadgets: 4 Guns(Blasters, Snipers, etc): 5 Armour: Light or Medium Dual Wielding: Neutral Big Weapons: No Stealth: Yes (But I can live without it) Method of damage: Neutral, will be solo-leveling Scope of damage: Neutral, will be solo-leveling Favorite SW character: R2D2 from the movies, and Jolee Bindo from KoToR. Prior MMO experience/liked class(es)/etc: I usually play a glass-cannon dps, or some sort of healer/support person. Favorites include my WoW Shadow Priest, and my TSW leech healer and dpser.

The only things missing are stealth, which is very nice to have in this game, and mobility. And this is the part I overlooked intentionally. It interested me if it would surface eventually and, lo and behold, it did! You could play madness in either tbh. But if you want AoE: Sorc. If you want mobility, better ST, stealth and a sabrestaff: Assassin. See, I didn't have to say a word. You, just by filling those forms, answered this for yourself. Because, willingly or not, you were aiming at an Inq(either). Edited July 31, 2014 by Cuiwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me my fortune, oh wise one? Funny you mentioned him. The old sod. Are you aware that you answered it for yourself in the last 2-3 forms? Anyhow: What is certain is that you're looking for sage. LS 10 practically screams Consular. Now we have to determine which spec. You mentioned S.Priest and Rifle, so let's see. We can remake s.priest(somewhat), but we can't remake Rifle gameplay(to my big chagrin). I'll come back to the Rifle gameplay. Your best bet would be to go Sage and work your way up the balance tree. If you want it, you can very much hybrid Balance with healing in order to get pretty s.priest-y feel. I'd recommend investing heavily into CC then(Pinning Resolve etc). It turns game real easy(but enjoyable seeing the amount of control you have-both over enemies and allies!). Therefore: JEDI CONSULAR SAGE Balance or Balance/Heal hybrid I hope that you enjoy your class! And welcome back! edit: Abot the Rifle healing(lifetap), we could've had it. If you ask me, the Bounty hunter/Trooper Healing should be about that. I mean shooting at an ally with both pistols is just...daft. And no matter what the explanation would've been like, it'd be better than "I SHOT MY ALLY! HE IS HEALED!". See now what I mean? Oh and scanning is SO unlike bh(probe Healing is, otoh, very fun and good looking-Commando). It just makes sense(imo). Idk what others think, but this is neither the place nor time for such talk.

Cuiwe Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'll need a fine tune. Just answer the following: Between these two, which seems like a more minor loss: The ability to have access to The Force and offhealing while losing the focus on Guns and Single Target The ability to burst down someone with Guns(also offhealing) while losing the link to the Force ?

Cuiwe Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I would say that losing access to The Force would be a more minor loss. That solved it. The picture is clear now. Your class(es): CommandoAssault Specialist or Bounty Hunter Mercenary PyroTech. They both have access to single target damage with an added component of off healing(heal while doing damage). I'd personally suggest Commando because you get your tank comp by lvl 25 at the latest. Therefore making your game SO easier and SO much more fun. Oh and the first two comps both have Heavy Armour so... Try those two. I am almost positive you'll like it. If not, try Gunnery commando or Arsenal Merc. Can't miss with either tbh. Have fun!

Because your class choice that fits almost to a T would be a Sentinel. Combat Sentinel. That is the most challenging spec in the game. At least you have something to look forward to . You could also play and like a Vigilance Guardian. It better fits your versatility criteria(plus you can switch over to tank mode anytime you wish unlike sent). Seeing how you basically said that you don't care about the Factional choice, I'd suggest creating a Knight and a Warrior and taking them towards the suggested trees. Your classes(choose one Jedi and one diagonal Sith class-ie if you choose sent, you choose Jugger): Jedi Knight/Jedi Sentinel/Combat Jedi Knight/Jedi Guardian/Vigilance and their Sith versions: Sith Warrior/Sith Marauder/Carnage Sith Warrior/Sith Juggernaut/Vengeance Edited August 5, 2014 by Cuiwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
