There’s something about the blaster rifle or sniper rifle or blaster pistol that I just absolutely love over the lightsaber.
Maybe it’s because Jedis are too heartless and Sith are too evil.
Maybe it’s because laser guns are a throwback to my childhood watching GI Joe.
Maybe it’s because real bad-asses slice through evil with swords made of real metal.
Honestly, maybe I just like the sound more.
That said, I’m going to roll an Agent again. I miss the sniper rifle DEARLY.

Before I actually tried the beta, I was convinced that I would play something with a lightsaber on the basis that there are many games where you can shoot stuff and only one where you can have a lightsaber (albeit one that hits for 20 damage per swing rather than severing limbs on contact). I didn’t get to try all the classes, and didn’t get far on the ones I did, but the Smuggler and the Agent were far and away my favorites when I actually played the beta.
I have yet to play a Force-user, and at this rate, I might never. I have dearly, dearly loved my Smuggler and Sniper, and once I start back up on my Agent, I’m certain I’ll love it, too.
I’ve been meaning to make a Bounty Hunter… maybe I should do is soonish, and our agent and hunter could hang out together?
Also: we should totally make “LoL” tags.
hehehehe. That sounds cool!
I totally understand about the laser guns vs. laser swords. I’ve split just about evenly between an Operative and a Sith Assassin. While the assassin is higher, I do like the IA better. He’s my SLC toon though, so I only play him when Sctrz is able to play with me.
