I was the trooper and he was the smuggler, and it worked quite well! We always play a healer/tank team, so since the Smuggler can DPS or heal but not tank, he went the scoundrel route and I took up vanguard duties.<br /><br />Along with our companions, we were pretty much unstoppable, though some 2+ heroics were harder than others and we had to strategize for those (CC, bounce aggro between his tank companion and myself, use my healing companion for back up healing, etc). It was a real blast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-57882645458503829562011-12-05T12:14:40.913-06:002011-12-05T12:14:40.913-06:00@GeeCee As I said in the post, I thought we'd ...@GeeCee As I said in the post, I thought we'd be able to share the stories and conversations as the same class, but it doesn't work that way. Whosever story it is, the partner is just a spectator. Then they have to flip. Realizing that ACs can possibly complement each other, I still intend to role a different class than Sctrz. It just seems to work better. WoW is more forgiving in this respect, because the dialogue is printed out, and you're never "sharing" the conversation. I just feel the cons of playing the exact same class out-weigh the pros. Most of those are eliminated by playing different classes.<br /><br />To start, I'll be playing Agent to her BH. We'll have to decide whether she'll tank, DPS, or heal; then I'll choose my AC and talents to complement hers. The companions will make it easier, because we can round out the roles with them.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-9253566895958683132011-12-05T12:02:07.122-06:002011-12-05T12:02:07.122-06:00So how did it work out with both of you playing Im...So how did it work out with both of you playing Imperial Agents? I guess you weren't allowed in each other's IA phases (unless you checked off that box in the options, but I don't really know how it worked, never tested)?<br /><br />Playing the same class can be awesome, especially if you end up different specs. My husband and I did that in WoW when we both rolled druids, he was the tank and I was the healer, and we pretty much wrecked everything in our path. But we ended up having to roll against each other for gear and druid tokens :\Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-14446783263864712482011-12-01T21:19:55.946-06:002011-12-01T21:19:55.946-06:00@Yeebo, Yep, I'm settling into an Agent I thin...@Yeebo, Yep, I'm settling into an Agent I think.<br /><br />@Cheryl, Agreed.

Even better, 2 RL friends play and viola we have 4 for TOR! Seriously, we were laughing and having a good time playing together. It was buggy and sometimes frustrating (will Vette EVER shut up?!)but I am an Elf Fantasy type person, not a SciFi type, and even I was hooked.Cheryl M.http://www.writezalot.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-59203215283835821192011-11-30T12:50:01.066-06:002011-11-30T12:50:01.066-06:00I had the exact same thing happen with my bounty h...I had the exact same thing happen with my bounty hunter as you. I picked it because the class concept didn't interest me in the slightest. Not only did combat turn out to be a blast on the class, but now I'm flipping to find out how the story turns out. It will probably be the first class I play at launch...Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-17014107233917466832011-11-30T10:18:47.394-06:002011-11-30T10:18:47.394-06:00@Stillwater, Ja it's a blast.

At that point, you might as well not even be in communication with them until you can hub-up after the prologue, for all the good it will do you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10153600201644796914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-638783460473048052011-11-30T10:09:21.559-06:002011-11-30T10:09:21.559-06:00Ya know... you make me wish I had a partner in gam...Ya know... you make me wish I had a partner in gaming to play SWTOR with now. :DVictor Stillwaterhttp://www.gamesandgeekery.comnoreply@blogger.com
