Anyone here also play Swtor

If yes, I just got some questions really, about classes. I love marksmen hunter in this game, and that sort of style in other games.

In swtor the ones that come close look like commando or Gunslinger, well at least on the republic side.

Which one probably has more of that hunter feel?

Marksman is fun in PTR and on beta.

I play Tera as arcer but also in FF14 online as arcer same in skyrim online.
in heros of storm i play Nova in overwatch i play widowmaker and ashe.

gunslinger for sure.

Imperial agent: Sniper.

Commando or Bounty Hunter for that ranged gameplay. But don’t go tank spec on either one, they’re up close like all tanks.

my fav sniper is the 50 cal sniper. i use it all the time in F4 , call of duty , gta5 , far cry 5 , battelfield :stuck_out_tongue: rocking 2700 K/D at moment.

You’ll never catch me working for the empire :joy::pray:

Yeah, it would be Agent/Sniper on the Empire side and if you prefer Republic then Smuggler/Gunslinger. Though to be honest I enjoyed Agent storyline much more. :slight_smile: They are essentially mirror classes. one dual wields pistols the other sniper rifle.

Just play all of them tbh. The class stories are really fun and totally worth it. Don’t expect anything for raiding though.

Yeah I probably will end up playing them all. I more getting into it for the rp aspect, maybe some warzones.

here we have game of the year !

The only problem is if you play it for free, they had some idiotic system that reduced the number of skill bars, not sure if that’s still the case. Otherwise, 1-50 every class has unique storyline that’s quite good.

Warzone are also quite fun, but unfortunately they removed PvP gear shortly after WoW

I played SWTOR a lot, but the devs and EA actually made me rage quit.

  • No optimization ever
  • Launch day bugs and glitches still around
  • 32 bit client
  • Netcode from hell
  • Lag
  • Lootboxes
  • RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG
  • Hackers in competitive play
  • Armor clipping
  • Bad lighting
  • Horrible shaders
  • Terrible shadows
  • Bad textures

The story was great and I really enjoyed it for a couple of years. But EA abandoned it and only updated the in-game shop with more and more frikken lootboxes.

I reinstalled it last year just to have a look, and was frankly shocked how bad and out of date it is.

It had the potential to be better than WoW, but all it managed to get better for a while was PvP, player housing and story telling. But that’s it.

SWTOR gameplay sucks. But to be honest, it’s almost not terribly worse than BFA.

Then again, why bother with BFA or SWTOR when you can play ESO. That one is actually the clear MMORPG winner of 2018-2019.

If Systemlands turn out to be terrible, I’m 100% hopping back over to ESO. You hear that devs?

Systemlands isn’t looking too good on the Beta, class balance and PvP seems trash. So I am hoping you will fix it and blow me away at launch. Otherwise, ZeniMax is getting my 14 dollors a month.

I rage quit when they added the championship points, so I have no idea what’s the state atm, but imo as far as story and raids go, FFXIV is way better than it.

Gunslinger or Sniper seems like the marksmanship choice. Although I find them rather stationary in how they work with cover.
Marksmanship in WoW is actually quite mobile and has skills that are fairly similar to the commando and power tech in swtor.

Either way. The best 2 options are Commando/Powertech or Gunslinger/Sniper.

Commando’s and Powertech’s do have the option to go healing aswell.

Imperial sniper does a lot of damage from range and it’s awesome

I even use to record and edit pvp videos :stuck_out_tongue: SWTOR was great, also KOTOR on its own was one of the best games I ever played :slight_smile:

Looking in depth online and commandos look epic :joy:. Looks like they have a disengage ability too, and those vibes I get from republic commando.

Gunslinger gives me firefly vibes and I did love that show, plus I saw you get a wookie companion which are awesome… I may just end up rolling a commando and gunsligner tbh lol.

I used to love SW: TOR. But I have done most content in that game already and the game does not have very good replayability if you have done all class stories, all expansion stories, done all raids, and collected all the “transmogs” from the Cartel Market which you personally want- expansion stories may not something someone do on every alt as they are really long if you start from the beginning. To gear up to maximum item rating at 306 is really fast (in fact too fast) on your first character, and after that your character is “complete” for the time being until new content is released which gives better gear, which is not very fun to me.

But otherwise I love the game for its story-driven leveling: Original class stories and old expansions make leveling in most other MMORPGs look like a relic of the past, such as WoW.
