After months of inactivity Princes finally decided to kick some ass and become a famous Bounty Hunter.
Which means I finally finished all stories and played every advanced class.
To those of you unsure what alt to make next hopefully this will help you pick one you might enjoy more.

I tried to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Class story

1. Sith Warrior

* This is the story I enjoyed the most. From the humorous scenes with your master to the sudden switch in your personal goal and a lovely twist mixed into it.
* 10/10

2. Imperial Agent

* Like Pinkie said: "A perfect balance between personal story and saving the empire's ass." The many plot twists make sure that you'll keep being interested in what is going to happen on the next planet.
Personally I feel there is a limit to how many plot twists I can endure which is why it got second.
* 10/10

3. Jedi Knight

* From the kinda meh C1 to the kickass C2+C3. It's also the only class who actually gets an interesting part on Quesh. The ending of C2 is what earns it its place as #3.
* 8/10

4. Inquisitor

* Very personal, very evil, very badass. This story is all about you; fuck the empire. Good luck resisting the temptation of being dark side after just 2 minutes of playing .
* 7/10

5. Bounty Hunter

* I found it to be a story befitting a BH. I wish C2 would have lasted longer though.
* 7/10

6. Smuggler

* Wasn't very fond of C1 aside from the ending. You just kinda go around the entire galaxy just because of this random person whom you could just throw out of your airlock... C2/C3 were okay and what I expected of a republic alligned smuggler.
* 5/10

7. Consular

* It was so meh that I can't even remember half the story. Unlike most people I did not figure out the ending before it happened though lol.
* 3/10

8. Trooper

* Worst story. It started off with an amazing prologue + C1 but went to a completely boring C2/C3. It completely disappoints the high expectations you have for it after the nice first chapter.
* 1/10, refuse to ever touch it again.

Companions

1. Agent

* Can't really go into specifics without spoilering but what I can say is that they are all quite interesting and mysterious.

2. Bounty Hunter

* All but the last one are fun and interesting. I like both romance options and they fit a BH. screw the open ending on your first companion's story though =(

3. Warrior

* First and third companion are pretty cool. Nice for male warriors. Too bad the female romance option is terrible.

4. Jedi Knight

* The knight has the companion who serves the biggest purpose in your story. Fourth companion would be better off with a trooper though.

5. Smuggler

* First one boring as hell (poor females again), last one amazing. Male romance is okay with the first female but the second is just a bad version of the BH female romance.

6. Trooper

* All but the fourth fit your character. None really that interesting but the third is kinda hilarious.

7. Consular

* second companion is amazing. I also find your last companion one that fits your character.

8. Inquisitor

* ....no

Advanced Class (this will most likely be different for 90% of you)

1. Gunslinger (no idea why. I just love it )
2. Shadow (I found it to be the easiest to lvl as. And well...it was my first char)
3. Marauder (Dem cooldowns. Oh and transcendence is pretty cool too)
4. Scoundrel (too bad it lacks dps. I enjoy stealth healing in PvP though)
5. Sorcerer (the rescue troll. Dislike healing since 1.2, it just isn't the same anymore)
6. Powertech (a beast in PvP, a pain to level as dps. Where are my defensive cooldowns or CC?)
7. Guardian (I deleted a 50. That says enough. Tanking looks interesting though)
8. Commando (While I do love the healing tree I cannot look past its PvP failure. Lack of def CD as well)

Consular : 2 , hmm Amorphic?

I"ve just completed my Trooper's storyline, so that brings my total to 5 out of the 8 completed. My order of quality of story:

1) Imperial Agent
2) Inquisitor
3) Warrior
4) Consular/Trooper (they were both so GREAT early on, but sort of just...meh for the last half. :/ )

Next up is my Knight. I'm digging it so far.

Then i'll probably level my BH and finally my Smuggler.

If you're liking knight so far you'll love it later on =p
It gets better the further you go.

I've only completed two of my characters' storylines so far; that of my Smuggler and my second Trooper. I'm not beyond chapter 1 of any of my other characters save for my Inquisitor, who is still on the first stage of Taris at level 38.

Of the two I have completed, I would rate the smuggler higher than the trooper, although I can really only see the worth of doing that storyline once, as everything which was a major twist - those being what kept me largely interested in the smuggler story - is known the second time through.
As I completed Trooper on my second run-through, I have to say that it is one of the only classes which has a storyline I would do repeatedly; I just really enjoy playing as a trooper. It is horribly boring but at least it is an easy to level character.

I have to say that, even though I enjoy the storylines of my Jugg and my Guardian so far, Incannot stand playing as them. I generally prefer staying at range, and I really dislike having a row of buttons which denote melee attacks; it just doesn't really swing right for me, strangely.
The opposite is true of the Jedi Consular; I enjoy playing as the sorcerer/sage class, yet so far I find the introduction to the Consular rather a dull experience that seemed to go nowhere.

I am really enjoying playing as a sniper and Sith sorcerer, and I absolutely adore the storyline of both thus far.

The main problem I have with Imperial classes is the lack of motivation. I have motivation on the Republic side due to this guild; I have a chance to level a character that can definitely be used in endgame a great deal. For Empire, there is no guarantee of that yet, and I don't just want to abandon a character I've enjoyed due to not bothering to find a guild.
My sniper has an additional problem as she is the only character I have on Tomb of Freedonn Nadd, and I don't really want to restart any other characters on that server, but would just rather wait for transfer.


Long text short, I rate classes by how much I enjoy playing as them as well as how much I enjoy their storyline. As shown, there are cases where I hate the story but enjoy the play style, or I adore both aspects simultaneously.
