Let's Play: SWTOR - Imperial Agent #5 - Companion Time!!

[27SEANSEAN]

I would like to see you go with Sniper, because operative seems more like a team class, and because you don't seem to do that at all, sniper seems a lot better.

And damn, I'm so soing to be a gunslinger when I buy this. Love the steady DPS, the whole cover mechanics (sure some nutty cover points' placement will be tweaked over time), and eager to have own wookie pet (should prove to be a decent ottoman to place tired feet upon, provided you put the thing's teeth towards the floor).

Xcuse me if my English is lame someplace here. All I learned of it aside technical stuff I did by reading different forums and likes. Misspelling people may have happened..

[shredofmind]

What I'm about is that simply picking always dark side or rudest answer is a template which most people around here blindly follow. Be unique! Oh well, you already are, else I'd not sub.

Huh. Anyway, it's your character and it's up to you to decide what she'll be like. I'll enjoy the show either way.

Not mean to be picky or whatever at all, pardonne moi if my academic comment wad overloads you. I know I can cause such impression on people. Just trying to be helpy all over.

[shredofmind]

And about teh RP part. I think that being agent is not all about going sociopachic bloodthirsty psycho like you would expect from common sith (such person simply will totally be unable to work in a cover for long time), but more about the ruthless yet reasonable personality seeking for maximum effectiveness, including the most use of current cover legend. Like, RP inside RP.

Finally, Rifle shot (you got i on "1" hotkey) seems to be pretty like WoW's autoattack and likely meant to use if either it can take out a target in a single shot or everything else is on a cooldown.

Oh, and I think that now, when you have a companion, you could try solo these 2-man heroics. You already did level over them a lil' bit anyway. Wouldn't absolutely bet on this, but why not give it a shot?

[shredofmind]

Also, it seems like Snipe is more like an opening (or after-crowd-control) ability due to it's "cast" time, and the one that seems best to follow is dart (then switch the target and let poor mob suffer).

Sticky explosive probe followed by a same-target grenade seems to be a nice combo to use on a tough guy surrounded by weaker ones.

[shredofmind]

Some analisys meant to ease your character's life follows.

Flashbang? Calling a crowd control... useless? For a subtle class especially? Hmmm. Well, didn't play it myself yet (that's why I'm here), but judging that SWTOR is similar to many other MMOs out there (WoW specefically) in terms of base combat mechanics I'll just say: try it on a group of mobs. Isn't it nice if you shoot at them and they don't shoot back (except for your current target)? Just try it on a group of 3+ mobs and see.

@shredofmind My mind is crazy, and I forgot to mention that I felt it was useless at my current level...seeing as I can kill a group of 6 without having to worry. But yes, flashbang will become super useful in the future! I really have loved your feedback and don't find you mean at all. You wouldn't have subbed if you didn't like my videos ;) so thank you very much. Your opinion means a lot! And I do pay attention to it!!

[gungrave001]

Oh, you can also just Right Click on equipment to equip it!

[gungrave001]

Loving these video's. The imperial agent will be the class I roll when I finally get the game, which way are you thinking about going when you come to pick an Advanced Class

[Yay4MooCows13]

@gungrave001 I really haven't decided if I want to be an Operative or a Sniper. So far with every class I've played it's been an easy decision. But I will REALLY have to think about it with this one. Both options just seem really cool. Feel free to give me input on which way YOU want me to go. I am doing these Let's Plays for all the YouTubers out there ;) And thanks, I honestly did even try right clicking haha, even in WoW I always just dragged it to the slot...

[gungrave001]

@Yay4MooCows13 Hmmm...I'm going to go Sniper, but that is simply because I love killing things from a distance, cluster bombs and orbital strikes!..Plus you can generate your own cover which seems amazing! Plus the operative seems like a weird hybrid of "Rogue/Healer" and they were classes I never really got on with in WoW even though my main WAS a Paladin ;_;

[gungrave001]

@Yay4MooCows13 Oh, also in the "Settings" menu in the game there is an option called "Area Loot" which means that if you kill like 4 guys close together and they all drop loot you can just click on one of them and you will loot all four of them at once!

[shredofmind]

@Yay4MooCows13 in Wow you can also drag the gear to the character's portrait (at least at deafult user interface frames). Dunno if it works here.
