Talon_Starfire Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi, I rolled up a Smuggler but I am really more of a tank in play style so should I continue with the Smuggler and go Gunslinger or go Trooper then Vanguard? I'd appreciate advice. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebroni Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Just play the Smuggler a bit and figure out if you like the Cover system or not. It's a deal breaker for a lot of people (myself included). And remember, you basically have to be in Cover at all times to use most your skills, so you wont have much mobility. Vanguard is my main, and Scoundrel is my primary alt right now. I like the Gunslinger concept, but Cover is just too much for me to look past. Vanguard was weird to get used to initially, since I wanted to play him from range, and like I was playing a shooter game lol. But you have to remember you're a tank and you are SUPPOSED to stay in melee range (PVE). It's a blast to play, and pretty easy overall. Unique as well right now. Probably the 2nd least played class, with Scoundrel bringing up the #1 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I copied this from Taugrim's YouTube video and like the Vanguard build. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il-jumper Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Unless you plan on being forced to spec to Dirty Fighting Spec and be useless against people with half brain, Gunslinger. Else go Vanguard, and for the record, Vanguard does more DPS then Gunslinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon_Starfire Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I want it to be fun and Gunslinger gets to break the law but I do enjoy tanking which would be Vanguard so I need advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
