enjoyed this so much in my first couple levels of free to play that I decided to subscribe for at least a month
my first mmo
having a blast <3
Welcome.. the game really is worth a sub. The best thing about F2P MMOs is if you ever get tired or need a break you can unsub while still being able to log in every now and then to talk with friends or do things you never get old of.
Jedi Knight huh? Some of what i came here to post about might be relevant to you. Right now im playing a Sith Warrior>Juggernaut and thats the Imperial mirror to your class.
So i got my Juggernaut to 46. i can officially state that the class really comes into its own when you can get the highest talent in their DPS spec. Once i got Shatter in the top Vengeance tree how the class plays and meshes with other skills and talents combat has become an absolute blast to play. Like fun enough where i could kill shit just to kill shit.
The first 29 levels i played as Immortal tank spec. While i never had a fear of dying letting my first companion do all the damage.. well, she kinda hogged all the glory. i had fun and it was good practice for holding aggro on groups but it felt lacking in that sense of power rpgs can provide. i wasnt getting the upgrades that were noticable during combat, Vette was.
Then level 30 came around and with it the opportunity to get a damage skill from the Vengeance tree in the form of Impale. Instead of basically doing Vicious Slash and my Rage Builder over and over i now had a little more variety to play with. Making the switch from Tank spec to DPS spec was a little hard because i couldnt just wade into like 6 guys and come out okay. After 20-30 minutes of playing around with my new skills and priorities things worked out marvelously and it was a breeze to 45.
Right now when i play my dude feels so powerful. It sure wasnt this way for my Operative. Acid Blade was nice but i didnt feel this jump in powah. Right now, my Rage isnt even a concern. i always have a damage ability that hits hard as a truck off cooldown. In fact, i have so many options now that ive held up leveling just so i can figure out a comfortable keybinding setup with what i use most.
Some things for anyone doing Jedi Knight/Sith Warrior:
- Get Biochem for the reusable medkits. Prior to getting a healer companion things are going to be tough so the reusable medkits work wonders.
- Keep the companion you are using updated. Keep their starting weapon if it is moddable and upgrade it with the purchasable upgrades that use Planetary Commendations. These vendors are on your Fleet and are in the Supplies section. Keeping their weapon up to snuff is essential for any type of companion whether they are dps, healer, or tank. Weapon upgrades always have the most noticable jump in power because it makes them hit harder and heal better.
- Let your companion take some licks. With a dps companion make them attack first so they get aggro from the group first then charge in and wreck them one at a time so you arent getting the full brunt of the damage. If you have your healer companion out you can just jump in and target one guy. As long as you arent hitting anyone else your companions heals will get everyone elses attention. Think of your companions health bar as part of your own.
ive got more to say but i need to run for now.
