Does the Assassin blow through the story line fast?

12xp boost is going to be over in two weeks and it takes me about 11 to 12 days to lvl a class to 55 with the boost and i think im gonna do an assassin for my last one. Is the story line slow going and hard to get through like the imperial agent or short? Will the stealth help very much? thank you in advance.

I just leveled a second sin and with a xp boost consumable on the whole way. I think I hit 47 after 1-2 quests on Voss. 47 to 55 was on makeb. If you marathon I think you can finish in 9-10 hrs.

 

As for the story, there is a bit of "go to planet, talk to 1 guy, leave planet". It's been forever since I leveled an agent, but if

I remember there was a lot of extra side stuff to do as you are progressing.

 

Stealth is great because you can stealth/rocket boots through mobs.

I levelled my second Shadow:

Now I do have a ton of experience with this class since I played it at a high level for quite a while.. but if I can do it in 9 hours without trying too hard, then anyone can do it in double that time for as long as the 12x exp is still active.

 

Best Assassin time I've seen was 8:17. Of course, that was the player's 32nd level 55 character, so he had a pretty good idea what he was doing. What's even funnier was that he did it faster on a Powertech at 7:31.

27-30 hours is a reasonable time for the average player, which should span 3 days.

 

People who say 9 hours are veterans and probably have the assassin droid/treek unlocked on all toons.

 

Quick travel, rocket boost and speeder piloting at level 10 has a lot to do with it too. Moreover if you already know the terrain and quest line progression like the back of your hand, you most definitely will finish faster.

 

Also start using your exp boosts after you leave starter worlds, otherwise by the time you hit Alderaan most of your quests will be yellow, and that makes it harder to kill bosses/mobs

My friend with the 8 hour 17 minute finish time had 7 full sets of armor pre-crafted, the Kurtob Alliance speeder (Speeder Piloting rank 3 at level 10), fully upgraded Rocket Boots and quite a few one time use quick travels so he didn't have to wait for his 10 minute timer. He also has all 4 strongholds, which can make travel conveniently fast sometimes.

Ok I'm glad it's not just me. I returned to the game after 2 years off and I'm really struggling to level in record time. I don't have a high level alt to feed me gear and some of the boss fights have been brutal with me having to replay them a couple times. It also I seems that sins are lacking some key tools until they get into their 40s (ie I haven't unlocked voltaic slash.)

Lol what? I don't even HAVE treek nor hk. And I didn't bother prepping anything at all.

 

I do have quick travel and fleet cooldown reductions from my legacy as well as the maxed rocket boost.

But anyone with a legacy above level 20 pretty much has that.

Spacebar is your friend... otherwise it will take a significantly longer time to level to 55. Gear with the 12x xp boost doesn't matter, you are levelling so fast that it becomes obsolete after a couple of hours... but at the same time you should be some levels higher than story mission level. Pack that with the random variable skill and no mob/boss should give you trouble... On my very first char, a sage, I remember an optional boss, Tassandra, that has given me a hell of a time (in fact she has given me the most difficult time out of all bosses in all classes stories) even if I was geared and a level higher... On levelling a second sage when I encountered her I was undergeared and I think the same or 1 level higher than her... I gave her a go with not much expectations, it was such an easy fight which I can't remember why she gave me hard time in the first place. Edited by MusicRider
