New Content Guides Available
Welcome to my SWTOR guides! I am Admiral Nick, and contained here is my collected knowledge and experience in Star Wars the Old Republic. These guides have been created with a focus on end game raiding. I strive to make my content relevant and cut straight to its purpose. I am a big believer that anyone can read a tool tip in game, as such the combat guides stick to what abilities to use and in what order. While I may include some theory here or there, I try to stick to the basics and teach/train on the patterns, as well as any tips or tricks I can offer that I have found useful as I learned that class. I play all classes in the game! (to various degrees of enjoyment). I am a tank main, so count on some extra attention to the tank guides.
As the site expanded and my own experience progressed in raiding, I have added many additional guides and resources to the site. Most notably several Master Mode/Nightmare level operation guides as well as several hard mode guides. I prefer not to reinvent the wheel. If a content creator already had something I found useful on the "topic" you may find a link to their content. If I felt it was missing at large, I did my best to fill the void. I hope this makes your SWTOR journey all the more enjoyable!!
The below pages are organized into a few loose "Chapters" to help get you started into the game. Above are direct links to the class guides. All pages here can be found throughout the site navigation.
If you are on the new to the MMO style of game play, I highly recommend checking the in game tutorials out as you start your journey.
