I just recently got my Assassin to level 50 and beat the final story chapter.

Personally, I thought it was a pretty awesome story, even though it had it's dull moments.

 

Instead of getting all the best gear and doing everything else that opens up at 50, I want to get all my toons to 50.

I've got them all off their starter planet and I can't decide which one I'll take to 50 next.

 

So tell me guys, which class would you recommend?

Well, in terms of story...

 

Want a power trip? Sith Warrior.

Want a solidly written traditional chosen-one hero? Jedi Knight.

Want a slightly more down-to-earth kind of dutiful service (and this one may be better if done first because it's fundamentally a slightly smaller scale and so might feel anticlimactic) plus a band-of-brothers feel? Trooper.

Want to be a scrappy underdog with more wit and style in a day than most people make in a year? Smuggler.

Want to spoil yourself with the best-written, most flexible/choice-rewarding plot in the game, after which everything else pales in comparison? Imperial Agent.

 

Can't say enough about Bounty Hunter or Consular to place it in this lineup.

Thanks. I think I'm going to do my Consular next. Then I'll do either Trooper or Bounty Hunter. (:

Adding to that:

 

Want the story featuring the best rivalry and guile, mixed with plenty of treasure hunting, ghost hunting and ghost busting? Sith Inquisitor

Want the biggest twist at the end, with a decently written sleuth/diplomat story? Jedi Consular

 

Although I too haven't done BH.

Want to be a simple man/woman who's just trying to make his/her way in the universe? Bounty Hunter.

Well BH is more like if you want to see the Republic's true face.

Well, I say play whatever seems most unlike what you just did! I'm having a grand time with my Smuggler after taking my Sentinel to 50 and doing dailies for a while.

 

Since you played an Assassin first, a Commando would likely be the most different.

 

My hope is to have 1 of each "mirror" eventually - ie: Sentinel & Jugg, Scoundrel & Sniper, Pyrotech & Commando, Assassin & Sage. But at the rate I'm going 50 won't be the ceiling by the time I get even halfway there.
