I just read a rumor, that is all over the gaming sites that SWTOR was pushed to September. I apologize if it was mentioned in this thread.

Anyway, that will really help Trion. It will help me because I wasn't going to start a MMO in the spring, only to leave it for another in the late spring.

Now I have something to do until September, if that is the case.

There's more on this rumor on the SWTOR boards here on VN.

either cleric or chloromancer...

Not necessarily because I want to heal, but so that I can heal when needed.

I tried the bard to level 7 or so. Basically I was playing a channeled song to build combo points and attacking. Like a ranged rogue of sorts. Do you know if at high levels they can solo pvp? Or are they group-oriented buffing machines?

You get Riff at 11pts in or something, it's an instant 2 point attack to compliment Cadence's built up 3. You can forgo the channeling altogether by taking Saboteur as one of your other souls and use the Charge/Detonate system which is all instant cast.

The tradeoff is you lose the self/aoe healing from Cadence, but you kill noticeably faster and gain much more mobility.

What Arc, said but instead of going with saboteur, i went with marksman.

Been playing with a druid/sentinal/warden combo that lets me solo groups of mobs easily as well as sit in the back and both heal/buff and do good ranged DPS during Rift events.


I suspect it's gonna be a long time before I head back to tanking in this game... having too much fun rolling clerics...gah


Although I was also having fun with a necro/warlock/chlor

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

I know my first spec will be assassin. This is who I am in every game, so this will be no different.

My second spec is Riftstalker. I am so stupidly giddy about Rogue tanking. I loved tanking guild Karazhan runs back in the day with my 101% dodge suit. It was freaking awesome (until it got nerfed).

My third spec is PvP, with a bit of Sin mixed in.

My forth spec is what I will play with. Bard/sab looks very promising as something similar but vastly different.

Likely a Hunter (BM/MM/and third for stealth) because Hunter type classes always bring me joy. I'd really like to play a Cleric because there are some potentially fun combos... but I'm not seeing them being a long term answer for anything but standard healing in raids. If I can make a melee healing cleric (similar to the one in Warhammer) I'll go Cleric... but the melee healing tree is already pretty much the tanking tree now.
