Title: What's Your Class?
Post by: Tbone on July 20, 2010, 01:07:31 am
What class do you plan on playing as?

Jedi Knight (http://swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=98271)
Jedi Consular (http://swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=100611)
Trooper (http://swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=119751)
Smuggler (http://swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=103147)

Since we don't know much about advanced classes, I'll leave it at that for now. I plan on playing Jedi Knight.

I'm so excited to just play a game where the lines are so clearly drawn. That's the thing I still hate about Darkfall...anybody could be a friend or an enemy, regardless of class/race. At least with TOR, you know that Sith/Bounty Hunter/Imperial Agent are Empire and Jedi/Trooper/Smuggler are Republic.
Title: Re: What
Post by: Aerosian on July 20, 2010, 07:36:06 pm
Definitely Jedi Consular. Going for pure support with Mind Maze and Benevolence for CC and heals. Perhaps Force Push or the fun 360 push if I can work it to stay secure.

I thought trooper was more long range DPS and alt-tank than the JK which is the full tank.

No, the Trooper is a base tank video as described here (http://swtor.com/media/trailers/e3-multiplayer-demo) in the multiplayer video. Nothing is known about the Jedi Knight at the moment except for some minor detail as stated here (http://swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=98271). Hope it helps, dude :)

Thanks Subb, hadn't seen that vid yet! I wonder if they'll make JK a Mage/DPS then. Kinda goes along with the Consular being Mage/Healer.
Title: Re: What
Post by: Tbone on July 22, 2010, 05:41:40 pm
Consular will be Mage. JK will be melée DPS or tank. Trooper will be ranged/area dps or ranged tank. From what I've gathered anyway.

Title: What's Your Class?
Post by: Shirokumo on October 28, 2010, 03:10:56 pm
Jedi Consular, most likely support focused. The gameplay trailer showed some healing spells the consular was casting as well as a stun or disable if I remember correctly. She also tanked a few of the weaker mobs. Probably going to play like that.

Of course, my smuggler alt won't be far behind, sawbones.
Title: What's Your Class?
Post by: Zortarg on March 12, 2011, 08:10:31 am
Consular for sure.
I always played that magic/force chars. thats what i enjoy most.
will see in game how i will play it this time.

but most likely jedi sage (dmg / support)

Posted elsewhere, but this seems to be the official This is How I'm Rolling thread...

Smuggler, then on to Gunslinger.

Because when there's a gunfight on Tatooine, I'm going to be making spaghetti western one-liners like a champ.

That's what I was originally planning as well, but I've been hearing tell that the Sage DPS is absolutely sickening, which tempts me...what to do, what to do...

I had not seen this either so I will say I am definitely playing everything.
 However, my main and first to be leveled will be a Jedi Knight > Guardian.
Fully spec-ed into making myself the best tank I can be.

Well, it allows people to discuss WHY they like their class.  And in some cases, it might prove fruitful.  "I'm rolling a Mercenary Bounty Hunter because it's tanky DPS, as far away from healing as I can get!"  "Wellll..."

Ok, so being undecided on my class, I wanted to get a feel for the balance so far in the group on all the different classes everyone has said they want in the roster. I shared with likwidtek and he said it was some good info and that others might be interested so here it is:

Smugglers 13
Gunslingers: 6
Scoundrels: 5
Undecided Adv Class: 2

Knights 25
Guardians: 12
Sentinels: 6
Undecided Adv Class: 7

Consular 22
Sage: 9
Shadow: 2
Undecided Adv Class: 11

Trooper 12
Commando: 6
Vanguard: 3
Undecided Adv Class: 3

I then broke it down as best i could into the roles of healer, tank, ranged dps (RDPS), and melee dps (MDPS).  Because of all the undecided adv class there are a lot of missing pieces but I then figured out the number of potential people that could fit into a role depending on their class.

healers: 14
tanks: 18
RDPS: 12 plus 5 burst RDPS
MDPS: 6 plus 2 burst DPS
Undecided: 23

but in terms of potential, depending on what advanced class they picked I got

10 potential tanks
13 potential MDPS
13 potential healers
12 potential RDPS

Then I decided to get an idea of how each order was adding up, with of course focus on Velox.

Ad Astra- mixed class
Aequitas- all Jedis
Emeritus- all Jedis
Libertas- mix of Jedi and Troopers
Praelium- mix of Jedis and Smugglers
Veritas- mixed

Velox- 1 smuggler scoundrel, 1 smuggler gunslinger, 1 undecided trooper, 1 trooper commando, 1 trooper vanguard, 1 undecided knight, 2 consular sages, and 1 consular undecided

Anyway, I am using this info to help me better plan to find a class I like yet at the same time make sure I can help balance things out.  Hopefully others will find the info useful.
