My most beloved will always be Sith Inquisitor. Bounty hunter is on the second place and Jedi Guardian on the third. I’m recently playing Smuggler so maybe that might change (but Inquisitor will always be my n.1) Also, I adore the „Light Side Sith switching for Republic” and „Jedi going dark and becoming Imperial” scenarios.

Imperial Agent and Inquisitor were a lot of fun, great writing.

My Jedi Guardian is easily my favorite solo class.

[WakkasLove]

My favorite combo so far is Sage/Inquisitor for main combat style, and Shadow/Assassin for my secondary. It is SO satisfying to stealth past what I don't want to fight and both are amazing for PVE solo. I also tend to play light-side, regardless of if I'm playing Empire or Republic, because those choices just suit my personality. I also find it fun to have my Sith Inquisitor have a Jedi Shadow secondary combat style. I mean, Revan was both, why not my light-side Sith? :)

Thank you, am new; downloading the game; dont know much; watching your videos.

[thecodjed]

the video i was looking for. thank you!

At the start, when the game first came out, companions were a bit different depending on which class you were playing. Elara Dorn, for instance, was the best healing companion in the game (and, yes, I've completed all 8 story lines - some of them multiple times). The upshot was that commando trooper with Elara Dorn healer was sorta "easy mode"!

[chaoticneutral]

I like the sith marauder and sith assassin. Assassin for running past all those annoying mobs, marauder for those times I just wanna kill everything.

[ingolf]

for solo play, I always recommend tank classes. The Assassin/Shadow or the Powertech/Vanguard or the Guardian/Juggernaut. then you set your companion to heal and go. you can solo 2 man heroics without any problems, even some 4 man are soloable if you are good. for that I recommend the Assassin/Shadow because you have stealth. Survivability is what you want. you can also do healer classes with a tank companion, but I prefer tanking as I prefer being in control of what the enemy is focusing on.
it's funny, in a star wars game, I prefer playing the non-force users over the force users. my personal favourite specs are: Arsenal Mercenary and Marksmanship Sniper/Sharpshooter Gunslinger. Engineering/Saboteur sniper/gunslinger is fine too.

[solypsomancer]

It's not my favorite combo but my most survivable combo is running solo Flashpoint as commando/merc healer with dps companion and combat Droid. Your pet and Droid are nigh on unkillable even without your heals but with them it's almost cruel to mobs.

Plus tons of aoe kaboom.

[Empress_Xena]

Played the story for all the classes. My favorites are my Operative and Marauder

[williamsimpson]

I was a part of the Beta for this game. Got a cool "Founders" badge and everything. I agree with everything you said.
Funny thing I noticed in your video is that the classes you chose were the way the game started with.
My first team character, (because I actually had friends that played all the way through, before they left for other games) was the Gunslinger. He was the best.
My first solo character was a Sith Juggernaught. And you forgot to mention the copious amount of Vader fun with being able to use force choke then force push only to use a force jump/slash to finish them.
Question: Dose anyone else try to use their abilities in such a way that when you kill someone, you do it in the most cinematic way?
Or is it just me?
Great vid, I will look through more of yours for more inspiration. Thanks!
And may the Force be with you!

[Perceval]

Recently I came back to the game after many years. I really like most of the improvements and changes, I picked trooper commando and I can't wait to unlock a second combat style to add sniper or vanguard. (^-^) I miss the old ship interior background during character creation and training all the skills at the trainers though, small things but I liked them roleplay-wise.

[jaminallen]

Fun video thanks. Good opinions too.
I went with the Shadow Consular as my first and main solo. (And samr with the Sith Assassin). I felt theybare great fornsolo olaybas they can stealth and skip alot of trash mobs or stealth out of a near death senario.
Thoroughly enjoyable 10minute view with that video 🖖

[MisterLobb]

I like the gunslinger, but mine are bounty hunters. Created two couple years apart, an unconsciously made them both the same spec.

[bwestacado]

The Sentinel (preferably the Watchman) is my favorite class of Jedi. It's cool you get to play as them in this game

[CRALMKR]

Honestly the with warrior is without a doubt my favorite class story in the game man I’ve played him like 5 times each time doing different things and I love it

[Wsquared]

I love this game! I wish I had a better PC so I can play more. I have to turn the settings all the way down just to be able to run it smoothly. I played through 6 or 7 classes that way. Still loved every minute of it! KOTOR is still my favorite game ever made and this game really is up there close

[serenav]

i like all SWTOR Stories but in no particular order my Top 4 are:
Agent (great story (best Ship)
Smuggler ( the first story i played)
Consular (i have done this Story 8 times or more i just love it.)
Inquisitor ( i have also Done this Story line 8 or more times.)

[lagbait]

I might advise not to do Agent right off the bat. I made that mistake and most everything else felt like it was going downhill from there. Trooper felt like an absolute chore, keeping in mind this was before the advent of the multiple class choices under the origin choices. Like it was said before all of the classes can make it through the storyline and yes some seem easier but ultimately it's what strikes you as fun.
