Since 7.0, the Class Story of each character refers to the narrative path you pick to follow: Jedi Knight being complemented by Sith Warrior for example for lightsaber-focused Force Users. Seer Sage / Corruption Sorcerer (Jedi / Sith) Sawbones Scoundrel / Medicine Operative (Republic / Empire Tech)Ĭombat Medic Commando / Bodyguard Mercenary (Republic / Empire Tech) Shield Specialist Vanguard / Shield Tech Powertech (Republic / Empire Tech) Kinetic Combat Shadow / Darkness Assassin (Jedi / Sith) Gunslinger / Sniper (Republic / Empire Tech)Ĭommando / Mercenary (Republic / Empire Tech)ĭefense Guardian / Immortal Juggernaut (Jedi / Sith) Scoundrel / Operative (Republic / Empire Tech) Vanguard / Powertech (Republic / Empire Tech) Factors considered were pure DPS (Damage Per Second) leaderboard position, as well as average boss DPS, HPS (Healing Per Second) for the healers, and DTPS (Damage Taken Per Second) for the tanks with lower DTPS being preferable.įirst, we’ll tier rank them, and then briefly mention how each advanced class plays. That being said, here are the top performers in each role category, based on a statistical aggregate of parsed combat data. A Sawbones Scoundrel / Medicine Operative might do better at keeping the entire group topped up on health, but a Combat Medic Commando / Bodyguard Mercenary could be crucial in rapid single-target healing to keep the tanks alive. Some classes perform better than others on each specific end-game boss and all are useful in PvP. While we’ll be ranking the classes in a tier list, it’s important to note that Bioware has a good track record of not letting any one class dominate or become obsolete. All that includes another round of balance changes, so it’s also a good time to explore which advanced classes rose to the cream of the crop, and which ones are the chaff. With more exploration of the beloved character Darth Malgus as part of the Legacy of the Sith, and the expansion of Manaan–a location featured in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic–it’s a good time to jump back in. Update 7.1 was a much bigger patch than 7.0 overall. More of the Star Wars: The Old Republic story content promised by Bioware this year has been released with the recent patch, titled Game Update 7.1: Digging Deeper. Which classes reign supreme in patch 7.1?
