Alright, thanks. Since I'm already doing Powertech and I don't want the mirror of it on Republic side, I had planned on doing Commando as well. I'm definitely already getting excited for my next character. I'd planned on doing Sage (heals), but I might reconsider now, tbh.

Sorry about the late reply, I forgot to check this (also having to log in again -- was lazy). Yes, I was asking about the core engi on GW2. I haven't played the most recent expansion, but I was always a huge fan of power grenadier (bombs) and the flamethrower. I was basically looking for a lot of fire/explosions, some situational heals, and cool/niche utility abilities like a medicore stealth, oil slick, etc. I see you guys have mentioned Scoundrel, which is great because I already had plans to make one of those at a later date (still leveling this Powertech atm). I'm looking forward to it already.

Specifically, the combat, story, and party channels do not show up at all in custom tabs anymore. It had been working at one point, but it seems like any time I fiddle with my UI, I break it, and now I don't know how to get those channels back again. Combat was on its own tab, and story + party were on their own tab. Oddly, General and Trade are both working fine, despite having been relegated to their own tab a long time ago. It is only the three above which are affected. I've noticed this being an issue since I first installed the game over a month ago, but I think it must have something to do with my specific UI. Does anyone know how to fix it? I was not able to find anything when I searched this issue. I'm running SWTOR on Linux using Lutris, if that helps.

Just thought I'd ask. I watched all of SwtorCentral's class comparison videos before I settled on Powertech, as it looked the most like my GW2 main, Engineer. It seems to be similar enough, but it's missing some of the heal/stealth utility I'd have liked to have. Other classes I saw in videos don't have quite enough fire and burst DPS to come close, at least from what I've seen. I was thinking maybe Scoundrel might be a good fit? Operative doesn't have quite enough fire.
