Imperial Agent Class Swtor Guide


The Imperial Agent class in Swtor is basically the opposite of the republics smuggler but instead of fighting for the republic the Imperial Agent fights for the empire and main role is to hunt down and eliminate the enemies of the empire. Using blasters and gadgets the Imperial Agent is a force to be reckoned with, Skills which include a mobile deployable barrier for cover from blaster fire and a the ability to stun their enemies from range leaving them open to attacks from the Imperial Agent.

The Imperial Agent normally wears state of the art lightweight fibre armour which grants them great protection by also ease of movement making them quicker than classes wearing heavy armour, Also built into the Imperial Agents armour is augmentations that help the Agent hack and disable security systems. It goes without saying that with all the sneaking that Imperial Agents are capable of doing they will have suprise attack skills which will inflict massive damage on there unsuspecting victim. From what I have seen of the Imperial Agent they are strictly a range class and will be quickly taken down if they allow strong melee classes like Jedi Knights in close, to prevent these from happening the Agent needs to be sneaky but incase they do get caught out using gadgets and their speed normally allows them to get to a safer distance to begin fighting whoever is attacking them.

If playing rogue like classes that are fast and can hand out massive suprise damage then the Imperial Agent is the class in Swtor for you, With the use of some very interesting gadgets the Imperial Agent should be a very fun class to play in Swtor.

  • Sleep Dart* -AI: Puts the target to “sleep”; does not aggro; does not alert nearby enemies. 
  • Stun Dart* -AI: May be the same ability as “Sleep Dart” 
  • Toxic Dart -AI: Does DoT to a target without it noticing for some time; does not aggro & alert nearby until noticed 
  • Laze Target -AI: Multiplier to core damage
  • Explosive Probe Droid* -AI: Wont explode until you shoot the enemy.

  • Portable Cover -AI: The Agent can create its own cover.
  • Stealth Belt -AI: Not an item, its an ability.
  • Orbital Bombardment -AI: This is like an airstrike known from various other games.
  • “out of combat Self Heal”
  • Snipe -AI: The Ability seen in the Holonet Combat Vids – could be same as “Laze Target” ; High powered sniper shot (assumption: can only be used when target is stunned / this works like the Ability we have seen in the Smuggler Walkthrough) 
  • Dart -AI: This Ability is seen on the Holonet ; Indication that Sleep Dart and Stun Dart are infact the same Ability ; may be the same Ability as Stun/Sleep Dart.

Sith Warrior Class Swtor Guide

With a lightsaber in each hand the Sith Warrior is a force to be reckoned with, Focusing less on force powers and more on lightsaber melee combat the Sith Warrior is deadly up close. Always using aggressive lightsaber tactics leaves the Sith Warrior open to attack this is why they wear heavy armour and are able to use augmentations to boost their defense and fortitude (HP), These augmentations will also help to boost the swtor Sith Warriors strength making them a real handful when they get in close to their enemies.sith warrior 300x168 Swtor Guide – Swtor Sith Warrior Class Guide

As I mentioned above the swtor Sith Warrior focuses on lightsaber skills and is unmatched when it comes to using lightsabers in melee combat, The Sith Warrior does have some force powers to use in bursts such as shock, grip, paralyze and terrify. Swtor Sith Warriors are not restricted to using duel wield lightsabers and will be able to use many different types of lightsaber or lightsabers to do loads of damage to their foes generally the Sith Warrior is a berzerker like class that jumps in does massive damage then will most likely fall unless its a Juggernaut.

The Sith Warrior is a natural leader and those who group with them will benefit from group buffs provided by the Sith Warrior to increase our allies defense, attack and fortitude. So if you are wanting to play solo or as a class that is required in groups all the time then the Sith Warrior may be what you are looking for along with their amazing dps they will most likely be a effective tank. Lethal deadly and fun is what you are going to get from a swtor Sith Warrior.

Bounty Hunter Class Swtor Guide


If you are a fan of Jango Fett from the star wars movies then the bounty hunter class in swtor is just for you, this class is made around his image and skills employing the use of his two blasters, flamethrower, missile launcher and even his jetpack. The swtor Bounty Hunter looks like a fun class to play either solo or in a group. Bounty Hunters are going to be great solo classes due to there huge amount of attacking skills and their unique heavy armour which provides massive protection from all types of weapons.swtorbountyhunter 300x168 Swtor Guide – Swtor Bounty Hunter Class Guide

Along with the swtor Bounty Hunters heavy armour they also can use some of the best weapons in the game, High end blasters are the normal equip for the swtor Bounty Hunter since part of their great defense is their amazing offense. Killing enemies at light speed is a trait of the Bounty Hunters and by looking at the amount of skills and weapons they employ it is no surprise how they kill so effectively. By using such advanced weaponry and by always having loads of extra gadgets on hand the Bounty Hunter is considered the Jedi Killer in swtor since they can hand out massive amounts of damage within no time at all.

Bounty Hunters are always looking to make a few credits and if the price is right they will hunt down and kill anyone, Working for the evil galactic empire the Bounty Hunter is always busy and is normally going toe to toe with the Jedi Order. Playing a Bounty Hunter in swtor should be a lot of fun because a lot of the side missions and missions will simply be to track down and skill something. One of the most exciting parts of playing the Bounty Hunter will be using its jetpack in PvP and to see how much of a advantage it is going to give in combat.

Jedi Consular Class Swtor Guide


The Jedi Consular is the more force attuned Jedi in Swtor focusing more on force powers than lightsaber skills, although most of what I have seen of the Jedi Consular they like to wield double sided lightsabers the kind used by Darth Maul in star wars ep1 which is supposed to grant the Jedi consular more defense from blaster fire and other melee weapons. The Jedi Consular will have all the force power that they Jedi Knight will be missing. The Jedi Knight can wear both robe, leather and some heavy armour where the Jedi Consular can only wear robes and some leather armour.Jedi Consular 300x168 Swtor Guide – Swtor Jedi Consular Class Guide

The Jedi Consular will be a more group related support class in swtor but they seem to be able to hold their own against smaller groups of enemies where a Jedi Knight can engage large groups without a problem. Affecting the mind of others will also be a trait of the Jedi Consular, which should help them negotiate with others to benefit the republic. The Jedi Consular Focusing more on the force and wisdom will most likely have a lot of very use for buffs for itself and for its group these will include group speed, force aura and some other buffs to increase defense and health.

If you like to play a nuker class with large AoE’s then the Jedi Consular will be the class for you, Jedi Knights can focus a lot of power onto one enemy but the Jedi Consular  uses the force to attack or effect large groups of enemies making them very useful inb large scale battles. Jedi Consular will also be the main crowd control class with AoE stuns or sleeps on all differnt types of enemies.

Known Abilities:

 

  • Benevolence – Healing ability to heal team members.
  • Clearcasting – A protection ability.
  • Force Pull – Draws an opponent closer.

Swtor Guide – Swtor Jedi Knight Class Guide

Jedi Knight Class Swtor Guide


The Jedi Knight in swtor is most likely going to be the most played class next to the sith warrior, Knowing that the jedi are considered the most powerful people in star wars a lot of players including me are going to find it hard to resist and actually play another class. The way the jedi knight class is set out in swtor does not make this any easier either since they are going to be great for both solo and group play. Jedi knights normally wear cloth or leather armour allowing them to move quicker but losing out on the defense of heavy armour worn by troopers, In swtor this promises to be different since Jedi Knights can equip some heavy armour items. Weaponry is the normal for any self respecting jedi, a lightsaber being their main weapon.JediKnightScreen2 300x168 Swtor Guide Swtor Jedi Knight Class Guide

When it comes to skills the Jedi Knight in swtor processes the normal force skills of any light side jedi these include force push, pull, speed etc. The Jedi Knight also has very good skills for deflecting blaster rounds with their lightsabers which can be a problem for any trooper or ranged class. Along with deflecting blaster bolts and pushing their enemies around the Jedi Knight is amazing up close with a lightsaber and can kill enemies very fast. With all the force skills for range attacks the Jedi Knight can also use saber throw which allows them to hurl their lightsaber at anyone they are targeting.

The Jedi Knights are the guardians of peace and with intense mental training they are a very powerful force to reckon with, As well as being popular like the sith warrior the jedi knight will also be directly up against the sith warrior since they are similar classes but one fights for good and the republic and the other is evil and fights for the empire. With all their force and lightsaber skills very few classes with be able to take on a high leveled jedi knight one on one unless they have the skills and equipment to do so.

Known Abilities:

  • Lightsaber Throw
  • Force Push
  • Force Jump “Force Leap”
  • Master Strike
  • Auras
