The Obvious Question

I myself have always enjoy the sentinel class in Star Wars. The only thing I don't like about them is the standard color of their lightsaber. I'm fond of green myself.

I'm hoping for Sage, I've earmed my reputation in SWG as a medic. Although I would not call myself a great medic when I reached 90.... I earned it at 68-75.

I've had the good fortune of being able to play a variety of roles and classes in PVP and raids, but for raiding I specialized as a healer and for PVP I was a plate DPS.

I really enjoy being able to wade into a group full of enemies and emerge at the end of the fight still standing, a feat that is incredibly difficult unless you are a heavy melee DPS, like the Knight.

I'll probably develop different specialization and gears for different situations, but my main one is going to be Sentinel, based on the info we have now.

Sentinel, no offense to the other classes, but as a Tank I dont want to die all the time lol.

I want to be able to kill the important people, be able to say "Get your punk*** outta here before i get angry BOI!"

Also, mastery of the lightsaber is just so bad***

I would try out a more DPS or tank advance class, but I'd think I would be more useful as a healer. As I said before, Medic is my thing in SWG.

It seems we have a pretty good squad. Two damage dealers, one Tank, and a medic. Not bad. With our healer we'll be an unstoppable force.

personally i would love to go Sentinel and be in the front lines dueling anyone who deems themselves worthy. but if needed i'm willing to be flexible and go tank or medic. i have no experience with those two classes but im willing to learn if needed.

mind you, if i go medic...i'ma be an offensive medic. well when i can of course. if there's a medic on the other side...they're mine

lol Medic on Medic action. Whatever you're most comfortable with. I'm sure in the future we will get more medics and guardians as there are many who seem to favor DPS. The main reason I choose DPS is because I often enjoy going out into the world alone and seeing what I can find. DPS helps when your just a single person running around.

yup medic on medic, mind you those battles are not as epic as one might think. thats why i'm going to change that. the first part of implementing my plan would be to get that boxing ring announcer, the one that says "ARE YOU TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!" to follow me around and start all my duels like that...thats all i got for now. more to come later...

and tis true what you say about DPS helping in solo fights, but dont we still have those squadmates, the A.I. controlled ones, so we're never alone unless they become incapacitated...then again they're A.I. DPS looks a whole lot more alluring now haha

We can only carry one along with us now. And I look at them more as distractions than anything, they are typically weak when compared with the PC.

I am really hoping they have a dual-specialization option. I loved being able to tank or DPS to better the guild...and I was really, really good at both.

Sorry i'm joinig this so late. I am generally not a fan of tanking characters, however I am quite fond of the Guardian class, so that will definitely be my main.

I might be Guardian DPS. It's just too early to tell.

Jedi Sage (or Jedi Shadow, am not too sure yet), unless the equipment/abilities are terrible, in which case I'm going for Jedi Sentinel. And my alt will definately be a Sith Juggernaut or a Bounty Hunter (Powertech specialization) !

Ditto on the lateness. I'm thinking Consular > Shadow, but don't see it as a poll option??

I'm going the Jedi Shadow Tank route.

Well I think I am going Jedi Sentinel, nut I may be going guardian. I enjoyed tanking alot in FFXI So we will see where this takes me..

Now sure how many tanks we have so far, but I know for a fact we could use more, DPS we have covered pretty heavily. And I mean throughout the guild, not just Jedi.

I'm a guardian in all the meaning of the word.

I choose a jedi guardian because i like the defender class , tho the vanguard is also a defender class i like the jedi more and i really panic when i see more than 70% of my health gone so i think the guardian class suit me

I chose Jedi Consular Sage for the healing aspect because playing part the one that gives buffs or making those stay alive. It is a tough job to play a healer because there so much to learn and think in tight spots.

I always like to challenge myself, and I feel being a tank is probably one of the easier roles I've played in several MMo's. Full Dps is next, and in fact is often easier than being a tank because you mostly stand back and blast away.

I find being a healer the most challenging/rewarding role in MMo's, and thankfully it's something I'm very good at. To be a good healer, you need to understand perfectly the other roles, so you know when the tank is about to get in trouble and when the DPS is about to pull aggro etc.

I'll be a consular sage healer in SWTOR. GOod healers are alware rare and highly sought after.

I am a shadow *disappears*

also I heard a shadow can tank and dps so thats why I like it, also the double bladed lightsaber

I will be going Sentinel, at this point. Unless some unexpected news comes out surrounding the Guardian, the Sentinel is just the play style I am looking for. I am not the biggest fan of the necessity to dual wield, but I can live with it.
