what exactly is the advantage, if any, of rolling a sentinel? both advanced classes can dps, and i believe ive heard that all spec trees are within 5% damage of each other so thats basically a wash. guardian has heavy armor so he has more survivability, and guardian has the capability to off tank or respec and tank. so, im curious, is there any advantage to rolling a sentinel? other than the obvious cool looks of two sabers ahahha

in your family tree section of your legacy there are several options as far as rival, ally, sibling, spouse, etc. do any of these give certain perks, or disadvantages? do they come with anything other than the family lineage? thanks!

question for people who have leveled a healer through a majority of just questing through planets. do you find yourself multitasking and healing your companion as well as dps-ing, or do you find its still viable to allow your companion to do all damage and just focus on healing? is it time efficient to focus on healing alone? any comments or suggestions would help thanks in advance

i couldnt find an appropriate forum to post this in so i think general is my best bet but i was just wondering if anybody has found or seen any cool looking orange gear around in game? screenshots or links to the gear would be nice but i know im always looking for something that looks unique different or just generally good looking. cant wait to hear and see!

all i keep hearing about is how the community and game developers are either going to buff all other crafting skills or nerf biochem. does anybody have links or hard evidence as to what will happen or when? i'd love to start a new character with some different crafting skills to try them out but if they have no use compared to biochem im stuck grinding the same crafting skill. any help is appreciated.

everything outside of class quests is boring, repetitious, and not specific to any characters. this has basically stuck people to rolling one republic and one empire if you want an alt. yes theres much more to rant on with this but i dont wanna write a whole page hahaha. just wanted to see if anyone else agreed or is encountering some of the same troubles. if anybody is having the same problems and has any suggestions please feel free because i wanna try so many more classes but am getting sick or running 3/4 of the same missions over and over again

im wondering how the cover system is going to work once we get to end game operations. hopefully theres a few level 50 snipers out there who can help. as of late with almost all MMOs the general rule for most boss encounters is to do damage while "not standing in fire." basically any aoe ability that the boss has at a range and can target party members at random. does this mean as snipers we are going to have to be changing our positioning constantly throughout a boss encounter? going in and out of cover and losing the majority of our dps because most of our abilities are cover dependent? i dont want boss fights to be dumbed down to tank and spank but i also dont want to be unable to use this class... any insight would be helpful from someone who has experienced it or from anyone with a guess. thanks in advance

Before i begin i wanna make it known im not complaining about it, not saying its a bug, i just found this to be funny. so im playing a trooper and trying to keep him dark side aligned. he recently hit dark side II and got huge purple bags under his eyes and his eyes are turning red.... now how does nobody in the republic notice this? nobody giving me a quest is a little suspicious that i look like a dark lord? i just thought it was funny and wanted to see if anybody else thought the same way.

i agree with "i know"... i say this to my girlfriend 50% of the time she tells me she loves me and it drives her nuts
