Depends what style you like.

Check this neat tool out: http://dulfy.net/2014/10/13/swtor-disciplines-calculator-swtor_miner/

Sentinel is all out damage, but 3 different disciplines within factoring in various methods.
Guardian can do damage, but I suggest if you go guardian you go 'Defence' which is a good tanking spec.

So it comes down to whether you'd like to do lots of damage or whether you'd rather tank and absorb hurt.

For a beginner, I'd suggest going Sentinel and 'Combat' discipline. Companions are now excessively strong in 4.0 so if you set yours to tank or healer you're practically immortal.

I see you have a liking for Hunter/Trooper...as least when it comes to high level characters.

Are they your favs?

 

[Jonathon Patches]

Actually, my favourite is Juggernaut.

I like playing Vengeance for DPS, and he can tank as well when required.

I would like to try my PT as tank more though, as I believe it's the easiest one to tank with, though not the best.

So...

I may or may not have just purchased this Outlander package that has given me the expansion and sixty days subscription + 1000-something cartel points.

xD I couldn't help myself.

Good for you!

I realize I'm asking a lot of questions here but...What about skills/jobs whatever you call them.

Whether gathering/crafting...-Crew Skills, that was it!

What's a good pair to pick up for a newbie like me?

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

[member="Karrus Zorathi"]
Diplomacy is my favourite because you can get LS/DS points by doing it.

Slicing is a good one too to get cash.

The problem with collecting skills is that you now can go way too fast through planets you can't possibly keep up with the collecting skills...so I go for mission skills, particularly Diplomacy.

Plus Diplomacy gets you companion gifts and medical stuff which sells well on the GTN.

 

[WolfMortum]

Diplomacy sounds like a keeper!

[NimanMaster]

All of my toons are on Bastion. I started off on Beregen Colony but I can easily make a new toon or transfer one over to Ebon Hawk

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Great idea, Bioware...make it so you can only recruit a particular companion in Fallen Empire on a single day - and that day is a Tuesday. That's just fantastic for anyone who actually works for a living, and anyone not on Pacific Time is even more screwed.

Love Fallen Empire, but this and the stupid "You must do PVP to recruit another companion" is pissing me off....

 

[WolfMortum]

Is it me or have the Heroic mission area's been dulled down a lot since I last played. I'm certain I could never Solo them before hand...

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

[member="Karrus Zorathi"]
Yup, all heroics are (Heroic 2) now and you can solo them all. It helps that your companion is now more powerful than you.

[member="Valiens Nantaris"]

Well that makes things a lot easier!

 

[Dignu'um]

Server: Progeniotr

Originally, I had a 55 Jugg, but I forgot his name.

Now, I have Wo'orth, level 13 marauder

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

My trooper is at level 39.

Soon I will be a legendary player!

 

[Coren Starchaser]

My Jedi Knight just hit 45!

 

[Dignu'um]

I should probably ask it on the support page, but I'm too lazy.

My SWTOR launcher suddenly disappeared after I finished downloading (yes I was in Quick Play Mode)w

at happened? i dunno.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

That's...odd.

I'm very grateful that Bioware has now cut out all the side quests; I really don't think they added anything to the game and were actually the main reason I'd often lose the will to keep playing and abandon the game for weeks or months on end. I do find it peculiar that they buffed companions instead of players, though...
