After putting out a couple PvP Guardian Guides I hope they have been giving everyone some trouble lately. To bring balance back to the galaxy, and because you have a right to understand your enemy, I give you a guide to Guardian abilities. While the interweb is full of mediocre guides, there is no single place to go for concrete factual info about enemy abilities. Now everyone has easy access to the facts of how Jedi Knight + Guardian talents and abilities interact. Who knew that sages could dispel Force Exhaustion? And if they know, why don’t they do it? I’ve also included some screenshots of the abilities everyone should know so you can memorize their animations.

This list is by no means complete; it needs more cross-class interactions. I will be updating this guide as I learn about new interactions and I want to ask all you for your help. Got some info that could go in this guide? Wanna see something tested? Put it in the comments. Many abilities have unexpected interactions when used in sequence and, with your help, we can make this guide the go-to place. Specifically, we need more cross-class interactions and we can start similar guide’s for other classes.

Welcome to SWTOR Mechanics 102.  Previously we discussed Primary and Secondary Attributes with SWTOR Mechanics 101: Attributes.  But what about the backbone of the game itself?  The things that make SWTOR tick.  For many newbies these are simply open ended questions.  However for the veteran MMO player many preconceived notions that have carried over into SWTOR need to be dispelled.  These are your new “laws of reality”.

With Star Wars the Old Republic’s Early Access upon us, it is time for players to upgrade their codex with new terminology.  The SWTOR beta chat channels, as well as SWTOR message boards and SWTOR podcasts, are filled with people using WoW terminology to describe items/mechanics in SWTOR .  Well it’s time to leave Azeroth behind .  Since WoW is the mothership of MMOs for many people, it is understandable that many people use WoW terms as a frame of reference. 

Now since this Death Star is quite operational, it is time for a Force Rosetta Stone.
