  • Vanguard Unhappiness


    Recommended Posts

    So, I've finished the other seven class stories. Soldier is the last one standing between me and Legendary Player status. And I'm just hating it.

     

    My Vanguard is level 46, and I'm so very unhappy with her. I've got her geared up to the nines, and she still feels weak and wimpy.

     

    I worship at the altar of Dulfy. This is the first time I have ever read the class guide from start to finish and still felt unclear on what to do. I just don't "get it". There doesn't seem to be a clear rotation, the damage output is on par with a wet noodle, and it's a struggle just to keep leveling.

     

    Does anyone have any helpful suggestions?

    Vanguard tactics took till late 50's for me to get used to it ad have a half decent priority rotation.

    Thank you both for the answers, much appreciated.

     

    I'm just going to grit my teeth and slog through to the end of Chapter Three.

    When I leveled the Vanguard I did it as a tank, then I didn't need to worry about the dps output, at least gave me peace of mind. Leveling Tank was kinda fun because I would play around and see how many things I could pull at once, and it usually ended up that I would kill groups faster and complete kill quests faster than dps just because of the large numbers per pull.

    Well, I did it. I powered through to the end of Chapter Three and got the little "flair", as they call it, for having leveled up all 8 classes.

     

    Thank you all for sharing your suggestions and observations.

    My original toon is a DPS Vanguard.  SWTOR hates nothing more than to make Vanguard DPS totally worthless, so there is that.  For a short time when 3.0 came out, VG's ruled... then they realized their mistake and put us in the back of the bus.  I now primarily play my commando.

    Vanguard tanking is not really tanking until level 50.  That's when you get some of the key abilities you need to have it feel right.
