Hello guys and welcome back to SWTOR Central!
In this video i'll be taking you through the classes, Sith Juggernaut and Jedi Gaurdian
so you can decide if either one is the class
you want to play, out of the 16 in total that you can
choose from!
We'll be going over combat playstyle and story!
But don't worry, there won't be any spoilers!
Let's start with combat playstyle.
A good place to begin is with what the Juggernaut and the Guardian can actually do.
These classes a single lightsaber.
Making them melee classes.
The majority of your combat will be done face to face with your opponent so if you
like it up close and personal, you'll fit right in.
These classes both use heavy armour and are capable of being a tank or a damage dealer.
You'll have access to some awesome defensive abilities such as enraged defense and Saber
reflect, the latter refelcts direct incoming damage back at your
opponent!
You'll also have the iconic "Force Push" ability, which can
be useful for getting out a sticky situation or just throwing a friend off a building.
I would consider these classes very new player friendly,
regardless of which path you choose later.
So, if you prefer melee over ranged than one of these classes may be a good fit
for you to start with.
Keep in mind, the Juggernaut and the Guardian are mirrored classes, meaning they have the
same paths and abilities but with different names and animations.
Let's jump into the Discipline paths to get a better look!
The Juggernaut and Guardian have three different paths to choose from, two of them are focused
on damage and the other is focused on Tanking.
For the Juggernaut we have Immortal (Which is the tank path) along with Vengeance and
Rage, which are the damage dealing paths.
The Guardian has defense (Which is the tank path) along with Vigilance and Focus which
are the damage dealing paths.
Let's begin with the Juggernaut.
The Immortal path is used to play as a Tank.
Which means you'll be the person charging into battle first, to take the damage
away from your groupmates!
This path is very new player friendly meaning as a new player, you'll find it easier to
understand how to play due to the simplistic learning
curve.
You'll have access to abilities with names such as "Crushing Blow" and "Backhand".
The next path is Vengeance, which is a damage dealing path.
With this path you'll be focused on burst damage
and some dot spreading, which "Damage over time" abilities that apply debuffs to your
opponent.
Again, this path can be considered new player friendly due the
simple rotation and playstyle.
Honestly, this path is very fun to play and will you feeling like an actual Juggernaut.
Smashing and impaling your enemies to dust.
You'll have access to abilities with names such as "Shatter" and Veangeful Slam".
Next up is the path Rage, also focused on dealing damage.
This path is very similair to the Fury Marauder...
While this is a fun path to play, it's not considered "good"
in endgame, for PvP this might be different.
You'll be focused on burst damage and dishing out a lot of it when played correctly.
You'll have access to abilities with names such as "Raging burst" and "Furious Strike".
Now onto the Guardian, remember these classes are mirrored.
Which means they have the same paths and abilities but with different names
and animations.
Let's go in the same order.
The defense Guardian is the tank path and the mirrored version of the Juggernauts Imoortal
path.
With this you'll be the head of the group taking the attention off your groupmates and
having the enemies attack you instead!
As mentioned before, this path can be very easily to learn and play for a new a player!
So I would recommend it if you're new and want to try tanking.
You'll have access to abilities with names such as "Guardian Slash" and "Warding Strike".
The next path is Vigilance, which is the mirrored version of the Juggernauts Venegance path.
With Vigilance you'll be focused on burst damage and use of some dot spreading,
which is applying damage over time effects to your enemies and spreading them throughout
a group!
The Guardian / Juggernaut versions look and feel quite different, even though they are
the same.
Which can be nice when swapping between factions to play your favourite path.
You'll have access to abilities with names such as "Plasma Brand" and "Vigilant Thrust".
Next up is the path Focus, which is the mirrored version of the Juggernauts Rage path.
With this path you'll be focused on burst damage,
and a lot of it when played properly.
While this isn't the preferred path for damage dealing in endgame, it is still very fun
to play and might be one to consider while levelling.
For the most part, it's idenditcal to the Concentration Sentinel, just with one
lightsaber instead of two...
Nobody likes a downgrade!
You'll have access to abilities with names such as "Concentrated Slice" and "Focused
Burst".
Let's move onto story.
Now, seeing as the Juggernaut and Guardian share the same story as the Marauder and Sentinel,
i'll just give you the same rundown as before.
The Sith Juggernaut, this story is one that will be remembered through the ages of Star
Wars.
A classic Star Wars story starring you.
You begin as a talented Sith Acolyte, much like the Inquisitor, you'll
face trials to prove you are worthy to be Apprentice to a powerful Sith Lord.
However, this time you are to be trained by a much more renowned Sith, known
as Darth Baras.
The Juggernaut storyline pulls no punches, you aim
for the very top where only one is above you, the Emperor himself.
You'll experience a story so riveting you'll be begging Bioware to give you more.
Unlike my other videos where I talk a little more about the class story, I feel
with this one you absolutely should dive in and play it yourself.
If you ever wanted the KOTOR 3 sequel we never got,
this storyline will satisfy your thirst for an action packed Dark Side experience.
This brings us to the Jedi Guardian...
Now given what I said about the Juggernauts storyline, this class story is also considered
the KOTOR sequel we never got, some believe it's the closest thing we'll
get.
You begin quite typically, a talented Padawan with a revered master.
You face challenges on your starting planet of Tython, and later become known as "The
Hero of Tython".
As you grow in strength and as does your crew of talented companions, it becomes apparent
that you are the only person to take on the Republics greatest threat,
the end goal of the civil war.
This class story is also the only one that gains
a direct tie to Darth Revan and the Exile, but i'll let you find that one out for yourself.
You can choose the path of the light or dark as with any other storyline, yet somehow,
with the Guardian, it feels very different.
Your actions will indeed impact the galaxy.
Okay ladies and gentleman, I hope that this video somewhat helped you decide whether or
not you want to play the Sith Juggernaut or the Jedi Guardian.
