Is there any tactic in Jedi combat??

Boring? Just wait 'til you get to higher levels and you'll be sweating the hell out of yourself to survive especially if that's your first character and you cannot help yourself by having your richer alt to send credits/mods over.

I have to disagree.

For me, combat first and foremost needs to be fluid and highly responsive. And while SWTOR has significantly improved in this area from launch, it still falls far short of WoW combat in this area. Combat at times is sluggish and unresponsive in SWTOR, even running on a new PC with very low latency.

I do agree most of the combat animations in SWTOR are better than those in WoW. WoW has improved on this with the new race and class in their latest expansion, but the older classes and races have very simplistic and repetitive animations.

Both games suffer from skill bloat. In WoW it is mostly due to the multiple expansions adding more and more abilities, while in SWTOR it seems more by design in having lots of low power abilities that must be chained and spammed over and over to kill anything of significant health.

If you are comparing the combat systems of WoW versus SWTOR on aesthetics alone, then sure, SWTOR wins.

However the core combat engine of SWTOR is far behind that of WoW when it comes to delivering fluid and responsive combat.

I enjoy SWTOR and find higher level content and PVP require tactics, but I do wish the combat engine itself was more like WoW while maintaining the SWTOR aesthetics.

Things have changed from vanilla wow. The class development in swtor is very poor in comparison, this game still only has 3-5 regular abilities per class that are copies of other class abilities.

It is more of an Hack'n'Slash game than your usual MMO.

5 skills, plus secondary weapons, or element attuning, plus combos between them. Actually, it is times, not plus, since it is combinatory.

The key is that it is no longer mashing buttons relentlessly, it requires quick wit, and strategy. The closer we get to it is by playing a Mara/Sent popping CDs with precise timing, but still, lacks variety.

I for one play just play the stories here, the rest I prefer GW2 and do it there.

A little dull until the late-30's/early-40's. You'll get more abilities, mobility and pace-setters. That will make things a little more fun.

That said, melee sucks in this game.

It's because he likes to write nonsense and troll these boards, don't pay much attention to that.
Regarding Jedi, combat will definitely be more fun as you gain levels, and his class story is fantastic to say the least.
If Jedi is not your cup of tea however, you can always try different classes with different combat styles and stories.

Not as good as Sith Warrior... like not even close.

GW is pretty simple. Just start with debuffs on target and then damage skills. When everything is on decent cooldown switch weapon and start over.
This way you will have the highest possible dps.

But jesus christ that is boring and also main problem with GW2. It is so simple you can easily make up optimal rotations for damage in PVP and PVE.

I find the combat in SWTOR lacking. But it works better than in some games and right now is more fun than WoWs pandarens simplified combat. You have a bunch of skills and for most situations you have one or more abilities and depending on how you act the outcome varies.

I play GW2 and SWTOR concurrently and I don't find that endgame requires more strategy in either one. Now leveling up? Yeah, the lowbie dungeons in GW2 were more challenging than the lowbie dungeons in SWTOR, but that's because they don't have Raids, the dungeons had to be a bit tougher or casuals would have burnt through the content. Honestly, I like the idea of having more HM LI content in SWTOR - tougher flashpoints would be fun.

Don't forget Riposte can't miss, dodge, or be blocked (not to mention if spec'd it triggers a free damage shield for tanks). It's a must for any Jedi/Sith. Slash is good early on but later levels (30-40's I'd say) it's just a high damage attack with no other benefits and since it shares the cooldown with a lot of your focus/rage generators I tend to abandon it to make room for other attacks.
