It is a hard choice. I have a lot of criteria and no class has all of them. I have come down to 2. First is an IA with the batman ending, with lethality operative and saboteur gunslinger combat styles. I like the agent story, the personality, and this way I have a grat solo style with stealth and an other with the best aoe for quick kills. The 2 is a shadow/assasin with a watchman sentinel. This with the guardian origin. Which will be the one depends on 7.0 changes.

Thank you all. The best I was able to come up with, is playing Shadow until 7.0. I will finish all expansion with him and do some achievement. After 7.0 I will start a new character. It would be either a shadow/sorcerer (stealth, melee dps, ranged dps, tank) with the guardian story or operative/x (the stealth is a must here, but I want to see classes after pruning to decide the other combat style. Could be gunslinger,vanguard, or mercenary.) with the trooper story. I like the non-force users combat style more, but the jedi/sith stories fit better to the game. The smuggler is a clown(sad, because its my favouirite aesthetically), the trooper is just a mindless droid for the corrupt republic, bounty hunter is dull, agent is ok but still funny to see a small guy in a trenchcoat go fight revan with probes and vibroblade....

I really appreciate your in-deph annswers! In the same time you are helping and not helping me how you do this? :D You know the problem. What would YOU suggest for a friend of yours, who will be in the same situation? Or what would YOU choose, and why?

Thanks! The class story (origin in 7.0) doesn't matter, I already finished it. The real question is which class has better QOL, AoE, Speed, etc. so I can finish quest fast, while being usefull in all parts of the game in general. The more I play, the closer I am to get to the conclusion, that stealth is a must. Am I wrong here? Come 7.0, if I have to change I will. Or just take something for a second combat style And also thanks for the rocket boost tip. I don't know how I missed it. It feels so good to use.

Hi! I'm asking veteran players for a little help. I love this game and want to experience it fully. I have one character from every class, and most of them finished their class stories already. Now is the time to choose a main, and this is where I'm lost. I have very limited playtime (being a personal trainer so working from 7am to 6pm, and have 3 kids). I want to play a toon that is efficient and fun. I want to do everything with him. Playing the story, do every planetary and exploration mission, solo heroics and flashpoints, do some unranked warzone (won't do ranked), do operations. So far I have decieded sin/shadow. Stealth+somewhat ok aoe+can go skank(can I?)+decent speed. I also like my sabotur, scrapper, mercenary, and sentinel. But to be honest there is no class where I don't like at least one discipline. Also with the limited freetime comes a better income, so the other part of the question is, when I decided a main, what should I spend money on? Already bought a fully modable costume for every toon. Field respec, ship transport unlocked, bought the double blaster droid. Now what? Anything else usefull? A great thank you for anyone responding!

My wife always try to convince me to look more happily, and arguing me if I say I can't. Believe me I'm funny inside but my face is like Steven Seagal's.

This is in PvP where you can burst damage people. As a sentinel you need a lot of time to build up your juyo and centering. And then, your dots need time to tick the full duration, and in pvp your enemy is often die before the dot can fully tick on him therefor you loose damage. In PvE burst is nothing, but in sustained damage the sentinel is far outweigh the guardian. I wish you luck as guardian dps. Every serious minmaxer guild will bring a sentinel instead. You can still PvP and do heroic FP and have fun with your single saber, and better PvP resilience.

I can tell you from experience, that my 50 sentinel does far more damage than my guardian. This is PvE ofc. Melee dps is ****ed by serius disadvantages, such as bosses that damages only melee, and do AoE damage etc. Sentinels however give the raid a special buff such as shamans did in wow. This, and the incredible single target sustained damage can buy you a place in endgame raiding. As a guardian you will be a tank, an offtank or you would not raid at all. Why would we bring a guardian, who does only ok damage, who is melee, so his damage will be mitigated or nullified in phases? We would bring a Gunslinger, a Commando or a Sage, and if he is really good, maybe a second Sentinel (one sentinel is needed only for the centering buffs). When combat log will be in the game you will clearly see that sentinels do the top damage in every situation, where the phase don't lock them out. This was the case in beta, when we had a combat log. And in the next patch sentinel will be buffed further.

A feature to track our dots and debuffs is needed badly. Can we hope any addon (or interface change) to make them easier to tracking?

I have a bigger problem with full auto. There are 13 talent point just in the gunnery tree, that is mention and buffing Full Auto. It is a very important ability both in pvp and pve. Now if you got damaged while casting (IR you just stand still and waiting for it to shoot out) you only do 2 tick of damage. That is 66.66% damage of the ability, and grav round do more damage for the same amount of ammo. A lot of boss have AOE, a lot of boss have adds, and if you do your role well, you will attack the adds not the boss, so you can get accidental aggro easily. In pvp you will be damaged for sure. So, why will you risk a lower dps ability? All of us will use grav round, and ingnore our 13 talent point ability. This is not good.

And what should they say? We know about it, but hey, go play empire cos we are not gonna fix it soon.

Rerolled for BH from my trooper. Maybe i will be back if they fixing 2 of my main abilities. Until than, +1 for emp and -1 for the republic. Last night 10pm, there was like 70-80 people at republic fleet, and 250+ at the empire. Server Ahto City. 2 more month and there will be no trooper at all, becouse all of us will reroll.
