So before I start, I want to state that I realize this is an ambitious undertaking, and I don't even really expect to come close to finishing it.... But I am a planner and I like to explore all of my possibilities. So from my quick little research, I came to notice that Republic/Empire classes are pretty much mimics of each other with slight variations (IE Knight/Warrior, Consular/Inquisitor, etc).
Now say for example, I wanted to create 4 of each on a server (4 republic/4 empire/8 total), and then have each classes inverse (again Knight/Warrior for example) as the other faction. So I'd have a Sentinel/Shadow as knight/consular, and Juggernaut/Sorceror as Warrior/Inquisitor.
So I guess my question is, if you had to decide, which way would you go? Like would you have the knight be a guardian and a warrior be the marauder? Like I stated I realize that they are mostly the same, but my logic is I would get to try the other specializations of the classes while also playing both factions and seeing the various stories.
My original setup/thought process is:
Rep.
Knight - Sentinel
Consular - Shadow
Smuggler - Scoundrel
Trooper - Commando
Emp.
Warrior - Juggernaut
Inquisitor - Sorcerer
Agent - Sniper
Bounty Hunter - Powertech
How would you guys set it up? Whether it be aesthetically or actually beneficial or whatever. Also I'm not 100% on the companions so I guess which companions pair up with which specialization?
Also like I said I realize I am probably not going to get them all, nor do I really want to get them all leveled but I am just curious and would like to try them all a little bit.
Thank you for any input
