Class Guides

Guide Updates

• All Guardian/Juggernaut/Sage discipline guides added

• Working on Sorcerer discipline guides

Please note all 7.0 guides will initially be high level guides and mostly focus on changes, skill tree recommendation, gearing and preliminary advice on the changes to make to rotations as compared to 6.x. Fully detailed guides will be added over time once preliminary guides are done for each discipline.

As of the 7.0 update, players separately select their Origin Story and their Combat Style. The Origin Story determines the story experience for the player while the Combat Style determines the abilities and skills that player will use in combat.

New characters can separately select Origin Story and Combat Style at character creation and later can select a second Combat Style. Existing characters will retain their previous Origin Story and Combat Style and may be able to add a second Combat Style.

There are a few limitations on Combat Style choices:

• All Combat Style choices are permanent.

• Combat Styles and Origin Stories are divided into Force Users and Tech Users. Force User origin stories will only have access to similar Combat Styles and the same will be true for Tech Users. For example, Jedi Knights cannot use the Gunslinger Combat Style and Bounty Hunters cannot become Jedi.

• For Force Users only, selecting a Combat Style from the opposite faction requires an alignment achievement to unlock. Sith Warriors or Sith Inquisitors must unlock Light V to choose any Jedi Combat Styles, while Jedi Knights and Jedi Consulars must unlock Dark V to choose any Sith Combat Styles. Unlocking these achievements on existing characters will allow a second Combat Style to be chosen from the opposite faction and will allow for character creation selecting an initial Combat Style from the opposite faction. Tech Users have no limitations on selecting tech-based Combat Styles.

• To select a second Combat Style, players must be subscribed to the game and have completed Chapter 3 of the applicable Origin Story.

The 7.0 Gearing Guide is a preliminary attempt to update my 6.0 gearing guide. I have also added links in the guide to several really great resources that go into further detail on a range of gearing topics. This guide will be updated and expanded as we better understand the gearing system in 7.0 but hopefully is a helpful starting point for players.

See this link for a Google Doc listing all the Combat Style based information from the PTS, including skill trees, base abilities, tactical and legendary item options. I am in the process of updating it for the live changes from the PTS. This document will be the base I use for uploading information to the website, so I expect to keep it updated as close to real time as possible once I finish a big update for PTS->Live over the next few days.

Combat Style links are to 7.0 guides. Discipline links are to 6.x guides except as otherwise noted.

Combat Style links are to 7.0 guides. Discipline links are to 6.x guides except as otherwise noted.

These recommendation are preliminary and subject to change.

Note - This information is tentative pending updates for the 7.0 patch release. The list below is current prior to 7.0. It is anticipated several of these tacticals will not function at level 80 and new ones may be introduced.
