The following table contains an overview of all the disciplines available in the game. When you queue up as a group, only the person that queued cannot change disciplines, the rest can.) (This is not entirely true because of a bug. While there is no way to change the advanced class of a character (other than deleting it and completely starting over), discipliness can be changed at almost any time, but not in warzones or while being in the PvP queue. Each advanced class has 3 disciplines: at least 2 of these are for dealing damage (3 in case of Marauders and Snipers), while the 3rd can be for healing (Sorcerer, Operative, Mercenary) or Tanking (Assassin, Juggernaut, Powertech).
In addition to your advanced class, you should also choose a discipline. The icons for base classes are not really seen in the game anymore, but they're included here as they're used throughout this guide to refer to both their advanced classes. Advanced classes are chosen at character creation and cannot be changed.Ībove every character's head, on their nameplate is a small icon called the class icon, which makes it easy to immediately identify your enemy's class.
Advanced classes of the same base class share some commonalities, but they usually play very differently. Player characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic belong to one of 4 base classes, each having 2 advanced classes. The game was designed around these trinity team setups, and it follows that a healer has to be able to reasonably keep up with 2 damage dealers and a tank from the enemy team. But, if you think about it for a moment, it's not unreasonable at all to be like this. It is an ever returning complaint that healers, in general, are capable of achieving higher numbers than damage dealers in PvP, something often considered to make them overpowered. Only Sorcerers, Operatives and Mercenaries have healing disciplines. While you can take some proactive measures as a healer, this role is mostly reactive: you have to heal whoever's taking damage. Every advanced class can be a damage dealer.Īs a healer you will be focusing on restoring the health of your allies.
You will have good damage, but limited survivability. The job of a damage dealer (also called DPS for reasons beyond my understanding) is to kill stuff. This role is limited to Assassins, Juggernauts and Powertechs. Unlike healing, taking is always proactive, which makes it quite hard to play properly. A good tank can easily turn a minor defeat into a glorious victory, but PvP tanking is more of an art than just a job, and beginners are probably better off playing damage dealers or even healers first to gain some experience and see how tanking works. Tanking is all about protecting your allies from damage and is probably the hardest of all roles to perform properly, especially in PvP.
