Star Wars: The Old Republic is an incredibly popular MMORPG, and many players are looking for ways to increase their power and strength so they can clear content and make progress in the game. In this article, LOLTANK will look at five different ways to do this, focusing on level, gear, companions, grouping up with other players, and general tips.
The appropriate level for the content you are playing
The first way to increase power and strength is to make sure you are at the appropriate level for the content you are playing. Each planet will have a suggested level range, and it's important to make sure you are at least within that range. If you are below the suggested level, you should try to level up to make sure you are strong enough. If you are above the suggested level, you will be automatically downscaled to the planet's level, which can cause some issues with your gear. Make sure you are wearing gear that is appropriate for your level; this will help you become stronger.
Use companions
You can right-click their portrait to set their role, and you can press 'N' to open up their influence level and give them gifts. Increasing their influence level will make them stronger, so it's important to give them gifts as often as possible. You can also buy gifts from the Galactic Trade Market on the Fleet, or you can use a basic macro to give them gifts while you are away from the computer.
Group up with other players
This will allow you and your companion to work together, or if you have more than two players in a group, your companion will be dismissed. Grouping up with other players is a great option, but it can be difficult to find players who are willing to help you beat tough enemies. Joining a guild can help with this, as there is a higher chance that someone in the guild will be available to help.
Play your class better
Reading the class guide is a great way to start, as it will help you understand the mechanics and abilities of your class. However, it is designed for when you reach the maximum level, so it won't be as helpful while you are still leveling up.
Learn some general game tips
For example, you can use cooldowns to your advantage, use your environment to your advantage, and use your abilities and skills to your advantage. You can also learn about the different enemy types, how to manage resources, and how to use positioning and movement to your advantage.
The ability tree
This is the window we open with the 'K' key. Here, we can read about the different choices we have, such as passives, single-target attacks, area-of-effect attacks, and utility items. To make things easier, it's helpful to organize our abilities into categories. For example, a commando gunnery character would have a few buckets of abilities like single-target attacks, area-of-effect attacks, crowd control, mobility, defensive capabilities, and healing.
Single-target attacks Takedown individual enemies quickly
Examples of these would be Vortex Bolt, Electronet, Concussive Round, and Threat Drop. Area-of-effect attacks are used to damage multiple enemies at once. Examples of these are Halo Bolts, Motor Volley, Plasma Grenade, and Supercharged Cells. Crowd control abilities are used to stun or knock back enemies. Examples of these are Concussive Round and Propulsion Round. Mobility abilities are used to quickly get away from enemies or to get out of dangerous situations. An example of this is Propulsion Round.
Defensive capabilities
Examples of these are Reactive Shield, Threat Drop, Echoing Deterrence, Shield Adrenal, Heroic Moment, and Unity. Self-cleanse is a good ability to know as it can help you remove debuffs that are damaging you. Finally, healing items, such as Med Packs, can be used to restore health.
Fighting
Now that we know what abilities are available to us, let's talk about how to use them in the game. When engaging a group of enemies, it's important to first assess the situation. Take note of the enemy types and their strengths and weaknesses. For example, if there are gold enemies, your stun effect won't be very effective, so it's best to use single-target attacks at range. Additionally, it's important to have your camera in the right position so you can see where you're going and where the enemies are.
When fighting, it's important to use attacks as frequently as possible. Aim to keep your actions per minute (APM) around 40-50. It's also helpful to know which attacks you can use while moving and which ones you have to be standing still to use. For example, a hammer shot can always be used while moving.
when engaging a group of enemies, it's important to decide how you want to start the fight. If there are multiple melee enemies, it may be best to start with an area-of-effect attack so they have to run through it to get to you. If there are multiple ranged enemies, you may want to start with a single target attack or a stun.
By learning about the different abilities and playstyles available to a commando gunnery character in an MMO, you can become more successful in-game. Knowing which abilities to use and when can help you become a better player and have more fun.
