So I finally got the game and have been reading over the classes and figuring out what my line of "work" is going to be and I'm stuck:
Jedi Guardian or Jedi Shadow
First of all, why Empire? Because I like playing on the side that's lesser populated. Sith has pretty much become the "Sephiroth" of the game. It's easily "more badass" but the "fanboi/fangurl" community that has sprung up around it has just turned me off completely.
Aethstetically I'm drawn to the Guardian. Heavy Armor. Single Saber. THE tank class.
Gameplay I'm drawn to the Shadow. Stealth mechanics. Self-Healing capability. Versatile class.
I understand that the "solo game" in TOR is helped by having a companion with you. So if I'm a Guardian, I don't have to worry about the self-healing powers as I can bring a healing companion. If I'm doing a Flashpoint, I don't have to worry about self-healing as there will be a healer.
So based on your experiences with the game, I'm curious to hear about your encounters with these classes. Either having played them or played along side them.
