What Class R U?

I was curious as to what class everyone is looking forward to playing. For me its a really hard choice. Out of the 8 classes there are about 6 im really interested in. I think this might be the first MMO other than WoW where i will go really alt crazy since "supposedly" every class will have a unique story and quests.

For me, i'll probably start with either Jedi Knight or Sith Warrior, but all 4 force wielders look really cool. From what ive read there will be some mirroring from faction to faction so i'll probably wait for more info before i make my choice. Other than the force classes, i think the trooper sounds really cool.

SO what classes are you looking forward to? Since we've only really seen stuff about a couple of the classes i know its hard to say right now, but if you had to pick your first class today, what would it be?

I think mine would have to be Jedi Knight. I usually play the "good" faction (although Sith look really cool in this game).

Reason one, LIGHTSABER. I know everyone and their mom will be one, but come one.. LIGHTSABER.

Reason two, I really like the armor and gear they have shown so far. I really like that they arent limited to drab robes. For a gay man their clothes are almost as important as their skills and stats :P

And reason three, do i really need a reason 3? Their fracking JEDI. I was never really a huge Luke Skywalker fan, but i LOVED Anakin, even though he turned out to be a bit of a prick there in the end.

I haven't done as much research as you, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go Jedi Consular. I'm not exactly sure what about the class I find appealing. But I do like that its Jedi, ofc, and that its the diplomatic class.

I'm not all that interested in playing a Sith or a Jedi. I'm not a keen fan of Star Wars so wielding a lightsabre doesn't really do it for me more than anything else. But I think it's mainly 'cause I see the Force-wielding classes as replicating much of what I've already experienced in other MMORPGs, whereas I've not had much experience of 'non-magic' ranged classes. STO has whetted my appetite for this kind of combat - it's made a good stab at it, but I'm hoping SWTOR dramatically improves on it. I'm particularly interested in the cover mechanic that'll be used by the Smuggler and presumably the Imperial Agent.

With that in mind, I'm probably going to roll a Trooper on the Republic side and an Imperial Agent (sans the John Waters moustache!) on the Empire side.

I love playing Healing Archtype classes, so I'll probably play a Sith Healer type. For now I don't know much of what Class will be a quasi-healer type.

So far the only classes i have read about having a healy-ish type build are the Jedi Consular and oddly enough the smuggler. Im sure that the empire will have atleast 2 as well.

I too will be going alt crazy in this game, I want to see all the classes and I'm so happy that they are all so different. That will make our fleet actions a lot of fun.

For preference though my first toons will be a Sith Inquisitor (as I love force weilding lightning) and Bounty Hunter (as I want to try flying in combat).

Imperial Agent, someones got to show Jedi the reality of Force.

Force = A large wad of material/energy to the back of the head. :P

Sounds like alot of people are more interested in being Empire than Republic.

I think I'm going to go Consular. My favorite build was always Sentinel/Master in KOTOR 2, but alas, might as well go Consular just because I love force powers more than lightsaber. Force battle between Dooku and Yoda anyone? :)

I'm looking forward to trying out all the classes. But I'm going to delve into the dark side and start out with a Sith Inquisitor.

I always end up changing my mind as more info comes out. With STO I went from wanting to be science to engineering and then ended up being tactical on release. lol

Since each class has it's own fully developed story I'll be playing them all I bet. But my initial interest will be be on the Republic side.

Not sure which class yet since they announced that you choose an "Advanced Class" at a certain point in the game so each class will have different specializations to choose from. Snagged some info on it from here.

Spoiled the adv. class info to save space:

OH the choices! :woohoo:

mmm, im in the same place i dont really know what way i will go but i tend to enjoy healing so the consular might really be neat, because you get to have force ability's but who knows right now.
