In most MMO’s I do not cherish the grind of getting to max level. I want to be max level as soon as possible so I can do group activities such as dungeons, raids, occasional PvP (Player vs Player) and random shenanigans with friends. However in swtor (Star Wars: The Old Republic) I cannot stop starting over. I can’t figure it out. I really like the different storylines, the different character types and the differences between the Advanced Classes (AC). Not to mention the mysterious legacy experience that I am getting on all my characters.
Currently my highest level character is a level 38 Bounty Hunter: AC: Mercenary. At first I really liked him and chapter 1 of his storyline drove me along but after the end of Chapter 1 and the unlocking of my legacy I have been turning to play my alts more and more just for a different experiences. I am also finding that I like playing my Bounty Hunter (BH) less and less. He is mostly there now to gather crafting materials and money for my vast army of alts.
My BH is specc’d for damage dealing or dps (damage per second) and I picked my BH because he could heal and I like rolling healers. And as from previous MMO experience it seems easier to level my healers as dps to quickly get to max level then respect to healer. Swtor is different though; the grind is pretty long but very interesting and engaging. It is also a game that you can level as a healer or a tank and have little problems and lose barely any time as your damage output is less than a dps. So I tried healing on my BH. It is okay and just okay. I think this is due to the fact that I have been leveling an Imperial Agent: AC: Operative. I love healing on my Operative. It seems too that the synergy of leveling as a healing operative is better with my ranged tank companion, Kaliyo, than leveling as a healer on my BH with a healing companion, Mako. My BH is high enough that he has Gault, a ranged dps, and Torian Cadera, a melee dps, and then he is pretty close to getting Blizz who is a ranged tank. So once I get Blizz leveling as a healing BH might get better that is if I want to get on and even play my BH.
My Operative is up to level 30 as of today and he is great fun to play. Questing on him I find to be a little bit of a bore thought, but stealth definitely helps this a lot. I also find myself missing sneaking back out of zones I have already cleared once on my non stealth characters.
I want to start a sorcerer, which is a AC of the Sith Inquisitor, to try their healing but I am holding off for now because I am waiting for the legacy content to be released, hopefully soon like in March. I want to see what the legacy experience will do for character creation.
So recently I have been turning to my tank Sith Warrior: AC: Juggernaut and also my other tank Sith Inquisitor: AC: Assassin. My Juggernaut has been very entertaining as of late. I love flying across the screen to attack a mob. Then my Assassin has stealth so you know that’s nice. Then most of my other alts are anywhere between levels 5-14.
