Swtor Power Leveling |
There are some drawbacks to the way I am proposing and I will address them throughout this guide, but I'm hoping that at least a couple of these points may help speed up your quest to get to level 50. That being said, I have a strong backround in RPGs as I've played Baldur's Gate I, II and Throne of Bhaal at least 100 times, Icewind Dale I & II a fair number of times.
- I also spent countless hours on Neverwinter Nights. The server I played on actually functioned extremely similarly to regular MMOs just on a smaller scale.My point is I'm not trying to tell you that my guide is THE way to level easily. I'm sure there are lots of ways to get from 1 to 50 in this game, but this is the method I personally have employed with great success with many characters. This is a very simple list that is basically copy/pasted from the game to describe the roles of each advanced class.
- In terms of what these roles mean, a Tank would be described as a character that will actively attempt to draw fire and absorb damage for his allies. A DPS is a straightforward damage dealer that will attempt to kill it's target as quickly as possible. I personally thought that there were a lot of areas that he simply needed to refine in terms of how he was questing that would drastically improve the efficiency of how he levelled. What you want your character to be is purely up to you and never let anyone try and sway you from that. You're paying for this game, so play what you want to play and don't look back. It's very easy while running through the world and finding a good piece of equipment that has completely different stats for your class and go "Hey, maybe I should use that instead."
- Between these three roles, you should select your role based on what playstyle you would like to play.Sometimes being backup heals or backup tank can be useful, but if the tanks and healers are doing just fine then you just become a subpar DPS. So keep that in mind if you choose to attempt a hybrid character. I also feel that hybridization is something that requires a player with a firm understanding of how the class operates to pull off... And sometimes these classes don't come into their own until a critical level where they acquire certain skills in both trees. In terms of difficulty to play, I would probably stick to a single role instead of trying to juggle multiple ones.Not only will questing be a lot easier by having spent the initial time getting ahead in levels, but to boot you're going to be starting Nar Shaddaa with a speeder!
- By spending the time early game to get ahead in levels, you will speed up the rest of your game significantly. Believe it or not, you're quite likely to run into problems around Alderaan if you intend on getting XP for the Nar Shaddaa Bonus Series (since both fall in the same level range).I made a friend one day in a flashpoint and we had a blast together. He was a level 36 at the time and I was a level 30.
- Over the course of the following weeks, we played a fair bit together and did quite a few flashpoints together but were levelling seperately... That is until I ended up catching up with him and eventually beating him to level 50. There is a fourth type of character that I've deliberately ignored up until this point and that would be a hybridization of roles within one character. Do not succumb to this! Most people already have an idea in mind when they start their character... Whether it be something simple like the powerful Sith Warrior that is strong in the Dark Side and will smash face, to the honorable Bounty Hunter who seeks to protect and heal others.Healers are of course, well, healers... They seek to support their allies by keeping them alive as long as possible.
