The real benefit of STEALTH is avoiding the randomly placed extra fights, saves a lot of time.

Dps matter too. Stealth is good to avoid enemies but does it kill as fast as a mara or sorc? The main difference will be in the hard content.
My suggestion for those who is playing for the first time is...
Choose what you like.
Though if you want my take on the class story...
Knight's a straightforward Light vs Dark/The Original Trilogy/KOTOR-lite.
Consular is an Obi Wan Simulator (being the wise guy) with talks about history of planets, Jedi, Sith, etc. but if you like lore, you gonna love that.
Trooper is your army action movie IN SPACE.
Smuggler is just you and a gang of Misfits mucking about, getting ladies and credits in droves.
Sith Warrior is about becoming a Darth Vader like figure, starring our Lord and Saviour Darth Baras (he's your Master).
Sith Inquisitor is a rags to riches story, with themes of slavery and binding, more lore heavy like the Consular.
Bounty Hunter is just The Mandalorian, but with more focus on Bounty Hunting. (no baby Yoda, tho)
Imperial Agent is a Bourne trilogy.
And that's all she wrote.
Hope this could help.
You can add your takes in the replies, too.

While I definitely want to go through them all, I just started with the ones that had the most appealing gameplay styles. Now with 7.0, I think I'm still gonna stick with the order I was gonna do them in. I already started on Knight with a Guardian, but I kinda regret not starting as a Powertech Bounty Hunter, it just looks so much cooler than I thought it would be!

When the galaxy is full of horrifying aliens, a flamer by your side is a comforting thought lol.
Gonna start playing swtor for the first time now and going to use your comment for choosing future classes. I love underdog stories so I think I'll start with the inquisition, thanks!
Playing the game tomorrow cus it takes awhile to download thanks for the help mean a lot
I am having a blast playing more lightsided Sith Warrior - still taking dark side choices when i deemed them necessary.
I find it hilarious when I don't kill defeated Jedi - they just leave confused and asking themselves "Wtf just happened, weren't Sith evil??Was I more bloodthirsty than a fucking Sith??"
I see my Sith as someone who believe in the Empire and despises being evil for the sake of being evil and fucking over good officers, just cause you are Sith and incompetent....
this! my sith is the same :)
Mine are usually also like that
I've considered playing sith with a redemption arc before but never just straight up light sided sith. This seems interesting haha
Pragmatic Sith.
@@jaredhenager9379 The best is when your Sith starts quoting Jedi philosophy, at the Jedi trying to kill him/her and it drives them into rage :)
If you are light- side when you recruit Jessa, it basically drives her master insane and he starts raving while using dark side.....Jessa was like "uhmmmm ok, imma go with the nice sith guy, to escape the lunatic Jedi" :)
just stumbled upon this video, this one of the most concise and genuinely well done explanation of the games class system, really like this one. cheers
Thank you, I really appreciate that :)
Agree, returning after many years away, and this video answered ALL my questions. Game has changed so much.
very helpful and useful,especially to new players. That question, "what class should I play" cannot be answered by any of us for someone else.
My first character was a shadow, it was the first story I did to the end. Then I switched to the empire side and alternated between a marauder and a bounty hunter. In the end my favourite story was my bounty hunter. On the edge in light and shadow working only for credits.
Thanks for the video, I watched this one and the previous one you did and it helped me decide what class I wanted to start and try out.
What I was looking for!! Thank you!
What an excelent guide!
First story done is still my favourite, eve if it goes against general opinion: the consular! Felt like very "movieesque". Will create a new toon in this expansion to do it again
Thank you, this was helpful!
_SW:tOR_ & Berens MBTI List.
For the Empire, the Light Side choices emphasize the Empire over the Sith. For the Republic, they emphasize the Jedi over the Republic. In MBTI terms (and the assumption that healthy characters prioritize the Light Side), this translates to the Jedi and Imperial Tech class stories being Affiliative (NF & SJ) and the Sith and Republic Tech classes being Pragmatic (SP & NT).
In addition, Tech classes' dialogue, in contrast to the Force classes, prioritize talking about materials and the people in contrast to spiritual powers and a higher power. As a result, Tech classes correspond to Aligning types (Fe-Ti) and Force classes are Ordering types (Te-Fi).
To further narrow it down, there are four other categories. The military Tech classes, the Trooper and Imperial Agent, are direct and give orders, making them directive (NJ & ST). The hired-gun Tech characters, the Smuggler and Bounty Hunter, are far more casual, making them Informatives (NP & SF). Furthermore, the more mage-like Force classes, the Jedi Consular and the Sith Inquisitor, primarily channel the Force or get strategic over taking extreme action (FP) while the paladin-like Force classes, the Jedi Knight and the Sith Warrior, will generally take executive action and make more regular use of their lightsabers (TJ).
In order of recommended gameplay.
*Sith Empire*
Bounty Hunter: xSFJ.
Sith Warrior: xNTJ.
Sith Inquisitor: xSFP.
Imperial Agent: xNFJ.
*Galactic Republic*
Jedi Knight: xSTJ.
Trooper: xSTP.
Smuggler: xNTP.
Jedi Consular: xNFP.
I always recommend starting with whatever Star Wars archetype is your favorite!
Great video. Really made me rethink my preference on what I want to play for my first time in SWTOR. Great highlighting and detailing each backstory and class. Keep up the great content 😁
Do u still play and if u do what class did you pick
I just had a feeling to try this out and this was good timing to find out
thank youuu its realy easy to understand watching your vid.
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.
Personally, I started with the Jedi Consular. I heard it was one of the best stories to really learn about the worlds and the races in them, while getting a feel for the game. As of posting this comment, I just finished my Class Story on my Consular this afternoon. I had a BLAST! The fact that I had so much fun and only played 1/8 of the game's main storylines has me BEYOND excite to play the other stories. Right now, I want to work my way through all the expansions on my Jedi Consular and then I'll probably make an Imperial character. I'm trying to pick between Imperial Agent or Sith Warrior, both are calling to me!
Jedi consular has the worst storyline in opinion of majority players, included me
Save Agent for last. It's the best story, but it's also the one that frames all other stories.
@@user-qt8rk8pb3q For you, perhaps, but not for me and many others.
Just jumped back in fresh after over a decade on my Inquisitor Assassin and can't wait to delve deep
thank you....really thank you...just want to start this game again after years and now the editor is change so much
great vid😀
How did you managed to talk about Sorcerer without mentioning Palpatine? :)
Yes sir
"Ironic" :/
the senate*
Smuggler gunslinger was my first character and is still my main. I love the fantasy as man with a blaster or two carving their own destiny. I like that I can switch between a run and run or a more tactical approach. The story isnt the best but I still really enjoy it.
Bounty Hunter is a very close second and is easily my empire character.
this was so good and helpful. I started after a long break again. Started with Sith Warrior. Best Story...i think i liked Bounty Hunter most of everything i played
thanks for the patience to explain :)
I played for the first time this week and went sith warrior marauder! Thanks! Good vid. Gonna try a Jedi consular defender next then sith inquisitor assassin
I am torn between Trooper and Jedi Knight. Will probably make two characters but I clicked on this video for details on the styles mainly. I think I will probably go with Guardian and Vanguard as those fit my usual playstyles. I think Sniper or Gunslinger could also be fun though.
Just returned to this game after being a beta tester for it played it for a month then stopped , but now back in and so far impressed and enjoyed your video thank you
Ha I’m about to do the same thing. Played beta and a few months after launch. Haven’t had a of since then. Picking one up here in a month or so. So excited to come back and see what’s changes
Awesome video I am just getting back into SWTOR and this helped a lot
That is awesome. Welcome back! :)
@@IllevaSWTOR THANK YOU
For a brand new player I would recommend Knight. And as second combat class the opposite:Juggernaut. My favourite class is Agent. A real Bond movie in Space.
Great video❤️🙏🏾
reloaded the game after years away, thanks for breakdown about how classes have changed....sith warrior with assassin style for me I think
thanks for the video, i tried swtor a few times but never got into it, even though i played many mmos. but after the big update i will give it a serious long term chance.
Very well done.
Great guide, helped explain the new new system better than my tiny brain could understand from the patch notes lol
Unless your in it for endgame, playing a healer is pointless because you get companions and you can set them to healer and then play the game how you like it.
First like, comment, and view. Keep up the good work and stay safe as always.
I like your production style.
I was ready for you to keep going explaining the the double skill class 😭
Direct damage Sith sorcerer is the best thing of this game. I wish you could even use it as secondary class on tech so I can use the class to play through the whole game on sith sorcerer.
I agree with you, the sorcerer is the best class to play, lot's of damage in a large and wide range... easy to use and even better with a companion in the role of tank, that take damage and keep the enemy busy and away from you... plus you don't need to wait an age for the skills to be ready to use again and again... I wish I could play it on all the different characters... I don't like the ones with guns and blasters.... I find them too slow and cluky to use... you are dead before you can use the skills again... :D
If you play swtor in 2023, choose any class you like, all good. The only advice i can give, if you enjoy story, character development, rpg aspects etc - choose a force-user. It would make a lot more sense story wise.
I completely agree!
I recommend either the smuggler or bounty hunter both are really good under pressure and can do alot of damage
1st Spec I played was Smuggler/Gunslinger. Fav story arc Sith Inquist
If you like the very chaotic inner workings of the Sith with there awesome politics then I would suggest Sith warrior or inquisitor because those story lines are some of my absolute favorites
Perfect video for those who wanna start their mmo journey in a galaxy far far away...
I still love my agent. After all these years, the agent really has the feel of the cloak and dagger.
Thanks for the help. I love your accent btw
This is something I have wanted to know since Day 1. What is the order of the storys? Not based on class, but on though line. What chapters should be played in what order to get the full story as it happens?
I just so happen to have a Progression Chart that might help you: www.illeva.com/swtor-story-order-and-solo-story-progression-chart/
I love how they fixed that character creation hud, so much better!
Having tried out all eight storylines i can honestly say that the most enjoyable to play is the Imperial Agent. that said nothing beats slicing your foes in half with a light saber
Still gotta finish my light side Jedi Shadow. Probably he will be the first one to go to the newest content soooo... I'm a bit behind all of it, but not gonna give up! :D Also, must say, that Jedi Consular is slowly growing on me. ^^'
True story: if you play a commando in Star wars The Old Republic, your character doesn't wear underwear.
HAHAHAHA, that made me chuckle!
I played Gardiang, I honestly hated it, I got to lvl 24, and hum I think delete it, gosh it's the 3rd character I delete, thank you for the guidance it'll help me choose classes in the future !! :D
Lethality Operatives are in an exceptional place, right now.
Watching while the patcher is running for 7.0 -- Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
awesome i love the jedi sentinal
What lighsaber does your juggernaut use? Also love that the color crystal makes it look like the darksaber, didn't know it was possible to get that color in the game
That is a Dark Honnor Guard's Lightsaber with a black/White crystal, which can all be bought on the Cartel Market (Cash Shop)
@@IllevaSWTOR adding this to the list of awesome outfits I'm gonna have to buy with real Money :P
I'm new in the game and can say that is in my top 3 videogames already. Sith Warrior is my favourite storyline and loved both Juggernaut and Marauder that sometimes struggled to which one play (because Darth Caedus/Vader and Star Killer are my favourite characters) and now that i discovered that i can have two disciplines i've got my perfect warrior combination:
Immortal/Annihilation :D
thanks
What is the clas that does the most damage?
the time you say the name starkiller i knew who to play as
My recommendation is the trooper story
I was there at launch, quit after a couple of months and just reinstalled this week. Wow is this game different now.
11:29 wow that Assassin armour looks so cool! Really looks like Sith Inquisitor armour, do any other classes get similar armours?
That is a custom look I have made: czcams.com/video/tW2Jqeu3SLc/video.html
you can literally pick every class in the game and link them together so don't matter which you pick cause you can do them all
Sith...it's just awesome to first get the title lord and then darth...
Sith Warrior is my first
i went trooper Merc/Vanguard
Ooooooo now I gotta pick between a Sith Marauder or a Sith Assassin....
Hi, thanks for the help! Would Jedi Sage Telekenisis be a close match to plo koon? He is my fav.
I would say that's a great choice for our boi Plo Koon :)
Damn. I watched this whole video twice and I still cannot make my decision. XD sith with double lightsabers here I come. Hope I can change the colors of them.
torn between juggernaut and assassin, anyone still here know what has a higher damage output, will probably do both but want to know what one will be fastest
Most fitting species to each class: Knight - Togurta, Consular - Miraluka, Trooper - Cathar, Smuggler - Anyone except Miraluka or Pureblood, Warrior - Pureblood, Inquisitor - Twilek, Agent - Chiss, Hunter - Anyone except Miraluka or Pureblood.
i played through Trooper and jedi knight First i was doing them at the same time Got bored with one then i played the other
This is just my own opinion but the top three stories was 3. Jedi Guardian 2. Bounty Hunter 1. imperial Agent I really liked those and the worst stories, again just in my own opinion were last place going to 8. Jedi Consular 7. Smuggler and 6.Trooper.
And you are entitled to your own opinion :) We all like different things for different reasons.
@@IllevaSWTOR ❤
Please, as a Free to play can I use a marauder and a sorcerer changing battle style ?
No, that is a subscriber perk. You can only have one Combat Style as a F2P
This is a trick question. The answer is all of them.
I mean, you're not wrong XD
I have a question: When i select Bounty Hunter i see 8 classes but in video at 4:26, why it shows Bounty Hunter as only Powertech and Mercenary, if i can select one of eight at start.
That is to show where those option originates from.
I'm new at the game did they changed it with the Legacy of the Sith?
@@okansoylugan5527 Yes, it was introduced with Legacy of the Sith. Prior it was locked, as you saw on the image :)
That's nice and all but if what u want is big dps play Pyro/Fury/Virulence.
Wait, so with the combat styles, does that mean I could use the Agent's Sniper style as something like a smuggler?
That is exactly what it means :)
Marauder is like Asajj Ventress
I already did both the sithclasses D: + Free dlcs
What do i do niow D:
What puts me off this game is that no matter the character it seems like combat is going to largely involve standing skill and shooting at an enemy (and triggering everything on the skill bar as much as possible) while it shoots back and hits you directly in the face over and over again. It looks very silly.
9:16 Darth Vader dosent charge, he walks very dramatically
But he is a heavy hitter, like the Juggernaut, so just don't use charge ;P
I feel like Asajj Ventress would be a good example a Sith Marauder as well. would you consider adding her in the video?
I got suprised by her knowledge. Damn
Definitely will when they bring it to console
They won't
I found it reallg nice that im a jedi counceler and a sentinal sentinal gives you third form lightsaber combat that is based on leting your opponent attack first and that fits really well with jedi councelers becuse they are the peace keepers who will not harm anyone without having to
I started out as a Marauder and reached Lvl 28 and got to alderaan in the story but i would like to have access to more force abilites like the juggernaut does. Do you think it might be worth it to start all over for the class change ?
Of course
@@kyutalibero4564 too late for that i'm already a lv 60 Marauder haha think i'm gonna stick with this one
I'm downloading the game now. What of the jedi knight sub classes would you say is easiest for a new player?
Definitely Guardian, but if you want stealth then Shadow is pretty simple to learn as well.
THE SHADOW?!
Why is Marauder, Juggernaut, Assassin and Sorcerer listed both under Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitor... i'm confused
Because Inquisitor and Warrior is now just an origin story, which you can choose to play how you want - either juggernaut, marauder, assassin or sorcerer. The choice is yours.
is sith warrior assassin and inquisitor assassin the same? i been trying to find out everywhere lol
It is, because warrior and inquisitor is just your origin story, whereas assassin is a combat style.
@@IllevaSWTOR ooh ok thanks wanted to be sure
I personally really enjoyed sith warrior because how brutal I can be.
Sorc for life
Love this game but I always end up playing one story and not finish and then start another character
Don't we all a little bit some times XD
Finally a youtube video with a title that is related to it's content :D I just begin to download the game, I don't know anything about it's lore and class system.
This is how content should look like... There is plenty of "WHACCUPGUYS xyz here with a brand new video" type of gamer hype content here on YT, none of that is useful and just takes up so much time to listen to without any reason.
And there is this.... plenty of USEFUL information, interesting but simple style of presentation, perfect for a beginner and also has a lot of effort in the making of. :)
Keep it up, the internet needs creators like you! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words!
is there a 1 button class like mage in wow,i hate rotations and looking at timers and shit,thanks
The easiest "mage"-like class would be Madness Sorcerer / Balance Sage. There you only use a few abilities and make it through most of the game without more than that.
0:45 Alita?
am i able to be sorcerer with second combat style as assassin?
As a subscriber, indeed you can. That's what I am doing on my main character :)
@@IllevaSWTOR thats nice, its the closest thing i can get to becoming Darth Zannah
giggles when i see Jedi Consular I think Qui-Gon Jinn Not Grogru lol
Really, I always consider him more of a Knight :)
