Nafka Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I have returned to SWTOR after a long time and im loving it so far. So much in fact ive almost completed all the original stories except for one. Imperial agent has always been a tough one for me to read as far as my play style. So im asking you all for input. As far IA im interested in PVE only and basically just playing solo just for the story. What can anyone suggest for as far as the 2 choices in IA and also which build to choose after that from the list of 3. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Ardrossan Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Sniper is fine, does a lot of burst damage. Marksman and engineering are both good; I tend to prefer engineering. Operative is also fine; the major advantage is being able to stealth through combat. There are certainly places in the IA story where I miss not being able to skip fights. The aoe isn't bad but not as good as Snipers. I like the uh...the middle tree for operative, with the knives. The pvp one is also fine for pve, just don't take the healing one. If you're leaning towards op, as far as story goes the only time iirc that an npc in your class story recognizes your class, she assumes you're a sniper. It's not a big part of the story though and you don't respond to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDarrack Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 My main has been an Imp Agent from the start and I would never change. If you solo a lot never underestimate the value of stealth to speed up your life or get through a pvp area during events. Be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play style on Agent is exactly the same as the play style on Smuggler, although the animations will look a little different, in part because of the different weapons. So take your favourite Smuggler set-up and use Dulfy.net's Disciplines Calculator at http://dulfy.net/2014/10/13/swtor-disciplines-calculator-swtor_miner/ to find the corresponding Agent set-up.

MadDutchman Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 My personal favourite is the concealment (I think that's what it's called, the knife discipline) operative and to make things more interesting, I usually run without a weapon equipped. You'll never be competitive but running around knifing things just seems to fit so much better than hauling around a rifle. Also, you get access to the (legacy?) hand to hand abilities.
