So my 67 yo father is a Star Wars nut, and picked up SWTOR to play a game with me, but in stardard PVE, he's getting his butt kicked... all over. Having to juggle a dozen or so abilities, resources, and mechanics is difficult for him.
He currently has a commando, gunnery spec, but I might have him reroll, if there is a simpler advanced class / spec out there. Unfortunately, I know there really isn't an advanced class that you can push one button repeatedly to level from 1-50 successfully, but if there were, that would be great.
Things like effect stacks, incapacitated targets, and positional requirements are even harder for him to grasp, so an AC that really only relies on using a core set of abilities to take targets on up front would be the best. I thought a trooper with a big guy would do that, apparently it's not as easy as I thought.
Any thoughts?
