adamarama posted:Just finished Kotor 2 again, on a star wars binge since the movie. Is the story picked up in swtor? I pretty much just want to play Kotor 3, I don't really care about the mmo side. Do I need to play the original swtor story or just the new expansion? The class stories are all pretty cool, but if you want to play it as KOTOR3 I'd recommend either the Jedi Knight or Sith Warrior class. Play Acts 1-3 then move onto Shadow of Revan, then KOTFE.

Thanks for the tips guys. The xp boost on story missions is just for subscribers? I might get a 2 month subscription to run through everything.

Hey I had a little discussion about this in guild chat- I'm leveling a Mercenary with Arsenal and I'm not liking how your main filler ability is a channel that roots you in place, I like to be more mobile. Is Innovative Ordnance more mobile, and how complex is it generally considered? Also since a Gunslinger is next in line, do they have any specs that are relatively mobile?

You're not getting away from channeling with either spec. IO has Unload and Power Shot, both proc Mag Shot for free which is your rail shot replacement. That will proc instant Serrated Shot which is one of your dots. Incindiary Missile and Thermal Detonator are both instant. Sniper has a channel in every spec, Engineering probably the least as you only have to channel snipe and series of shots. However, you really need to be in cover to take advantage of the defensive bonuses so no matter what you do you're a turret. If you're looking for a mobile DPS class with zero channeling you might want to consider Vanguard or Powertech Tactics/AP. They are extremely mobile heavy hitters and all their moves are instant (unless you need to AOE something down)

Is Innovative Ordnance more mobile, and how complex is it generally considered? Also since a Gunslinger is next in line, do they have any specs that are relatively mobile? There is an optional skill you can get at higher levels that lets you move during your big channeled attack. The other advice I always give about that class/spec is don't ever be afraid to stop what you're doing and reposition. You can spam your free attack while you're running around, which does decent damage, and the cooldown on the big channel constantly gets reset by your main attack (tracer missile, or grav round for commandos) and is pretty short to begin with. It's not like the channeled attacks other classes have, where you're boned if it gets interrupted. You can basically ignore the cooldown, and you don't have to sweat it if you only get in half a cast here and there. And that's just until you unlock that perk where you can move during it. Arsenal/Gunnery makes you feel like a turret at low levels, but that's temporary. At that point you're doing easy content and figuring out your basic rotation, and later on you'll be freed up and dancin' all over the battlefield. I also like to go heavy on alacrity when I'm gearing. I don't know if that's optimal, but shorter cast times make the class more fun to play.

Cooldown won't start until you've used all the missiles or they time out. No way to reload except to use it fresh again.

Is there any reason to set your companion to tank instead of healer? The only reasons I can think of are if you want to backstab or I guess if you're really dedicated to healing and like everything to take forever to die.

Companions still deal decent damage and get a self-heal in tank stance. Unless you overpull it'll actually be faster than having them heal you.

I'll stick to healer then since my method of questing involves aggroing an entire area then setting it on fire.

Why the gently caress does pubbie que finder think it's acceptable to have a group with no healers? Also, is best way to credit farm just to send out companions to do resource gathering missions and sell that poo poo? SweetBro fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Jan 2, 2016 |

Because the instances are so easy that you can do them with 4 dps nowadays, if everyone has their poo poo together about hitting the kolto stations in boss fights. You manage to get a tank OR a healer, and they become easymode.

Do Assassin or Juggernaut tanks have any neat tools that Power Shield doesn't? Grappling Hook and Power Jump or whatever they're actually called are pretty handy and MO is pretty sweet too.

Assassins have a force pull, force speed and a teleport to target and Juggs have force jump, jump to friendly target and saber reflect. Juggs are simpler but we have some people that swear by Assassin tanks and how fun/interesting they are.

Taking a look at the OP, it looks like there are "best" roles for each class that don't quite line up with what the game says. Is there really no reason to be anything but the primary spec? Can I play a scrappy scoundrel, or are they pretty much just healers? I would like to know if picking the DPS line for anything that doesn't shout "I'm DPS" or something that happens to have a heal or two is out of line. I haven't played a holy trinity class system game in a long time

Up to Nightmare content every class can perform really well as any of their 3 specs. And even then, only some groups will prefer one over another and will usually wave it if the player is competent. So, if all you want to do is PVE/PVP and maybe do some HM raiding with goons, play whatever the hell you want and don't worry about theorycrafting.
