Man, have only had time to watch the intro etc but stuck at the character creation screen because I can't decide on which class to pick! I'm going to be on Frostclaw as some of you guys are and I do fancy the Sith. Played WoW for many years and was primarily on Alliance. I just love lightsabers but I also like healing as well because I like being useful and keeping groups up. My favourite classes in WoW were melee DPS such as Paladins, Warriors and Death Knights, but also healers like Priest and Druid.

Gonna have to leave it until after work tomorrow. Day off on Wednesday so I'm gonna be spending all day playing :)

If you want to heal but have a lightsaber go for a Sith Inquisitor - then Sorcerer advance class - the lightsaber is more aesthetic though as your a more "force-user" type character.

If you want DPS and:

Want a dual bladed lightsaber - go Sith Inquisitor then Assassin advance class
Want 2 lightsabers - go Sith Warrior - Maruader advance class
A single saber - go Sith Warreri - Juggernaught advance class
 
Marauders/Sentinals are already OP once geared at 50 anyway, the problem people have is the getting there. The only place they need a buff is to rearrange some of their feats so that the leveling isn't so tedious on them.
 
Going through my screenshots!

Got to level 10 on my Sith Warrior, picked Marauder AC and am now deciding what tree to go with, whats the overview on them then? left PvP, middle Leveling and right PvE?



edit : That is a gorgeous screenshot

edit 2 : forgot about oldrepublic.net so going to have a read through there, should let me know what I need to know :)

edit 3: Carnage sounds like where I want to go :) I need to stop with the edits now :p

Yea now you sir have the right idea. I mean my baseline knowledge for my sin is lvl 30. Same with a lot of my friends that play with mara's again at around lvl 30 and they feel that their toons are lackluster at the moment. But a lot can change at max level. More skills talents not to mention gear.

This is prob a main reason why BW do not want to touch the classes yet dispite the onslaught of QQing. Because lets be honest its all about end game content. I think the worse thing they could do is mess around with the classes too much at this stage when there is not a great deal of lvl 50s yet and end up destroying class potential at 50.

But we shall see. For the time being I'm still really enjoying this game although I have to say.....tatooine seriously... lol am I the only person that absolutly hated that place ?! my friends loved it and said it had a great feel to it. But man it really is just a giant dustball :p

edit: that screenshot does indeed look awesome ! how'd you take that btw ? Fraps or is there an in game one ?

edit 2: That link oldrepublic.net seems a rly good site cheers for linking that :)

What does QQing mean?

"Originally started in Warcraft, where Alt+QQ is a hotkey to quiting the game.

When someone bitches or whines everyone would say 'QQ', telling them to quit the game because they suck so much."

It pretty much means crying, its eyes with tears coming down them :D
 
Aww getting some early morning swtor on, Republic: 2, log on sith alt and check population on same planet? 22. Yeaaaaaah getting raped hard :P Doesn't stop me trying to jump 3 guys and almost killing one.
 
I've rolled a Jedi Guardian tank.
I've just hit 21, I've got 4820 HP is that looking okay?
Although, I could have sworn it was 5020, but checking it just then, it wasn't.
 
Got up to level 17 now.. loving this game. I am only playing solo as a Jedi Sentinel.. so going to have to start instancing to get some nicer gear.

I am addicted to the story, I can't believe how fleshed out it all feels. Apparently even after a hundred or so hours you don't even get past act 1? is this right??
 
pretty much yeah. I'm at around 1day 15hours atm and I'm 20, and im not even close to finishing act 1 as far as i know. Games amazing :P
 
Piccy of my pyscho assassin on alderaan :)



I swear the jaggies dont look that bad in game :( Need to force moar AA it would seem :p

How does a Marauder end up with 100k healing, more than anyone else in the entire WZ? Pots are on a slow cooldown and there's no way that 2% talent on burns will do more than an actual healer. Honestly curious to see what build that is.

I know you said you love lightsabers but may I suggest you give the Imperial Agent - Operative a go?

As you said you like healing but enjoyed melee dps, the operative uses a blaster rifle and a vibro knife so you're almost always in close when doing damage, they also have stealth. However, they can also be a healer, so purely based on what you say you've enjoyed previously this might be a playstyle that will appeal to you.

Obviously you won't have the force or a lightsaber, but as McDaniel said, for force using healers (inquisitor-sorcerer/consular-sage) the lightsaber is just a stat stick, you won't really hit people with it much.
