I made characters for all 3 classes but will be focusing on the Operative...something about single-target high damage (coughPLarcher) makes this class very, very leet :cool:

I can see you with your mass load of operative guides, now... & Yanis with a pink guide before the games actually even released... :rolleyes:

So jealous of you guys...

Edit: How similar is the operative in Star Legends to an archer in PL?

Samhayne is an operative! I thought about it but then I thought who needs two tiny guns when you can have one BIG gun. Then I made my second character a Jedi... I mean engineer because they can use force lightning... i mean shock gloves.

I haven't played long enough to comb through the skills and how stat distribution works to make a judgment on how similar Ops are to Archers, but I'll do all that later this week, probably around Friday. And the game's pretty well designed! Battle system is the same as PL's system and a lot of the UIs (user interfaces) are the same.

So are the 3 classes fundamentally the same?

Commando; bear; best survivability; lowest damage output
Operative; bird; best single target damage, moderate survivability
Engineer; mage; best aoe; support unit; worst survivability

From what I see, int/dex/str appear to be similar

Our main stat is dex and we have the fabled Break Armor skill (which also increases our crit rate at the same time). So yes, ops are archers.

Actually mages now in 51-55 have better armor then archers and in the star legends it said commando have the strongest armor operative has weak and engineer moderate

Birds have evasion, which is far better than the armor and blessings of vitality. Birds still have the upper hand in survivability, despite the lower armor; with mana shield, it becomes more debatable.

Anybody find a "combo" yet? I would recommend going to a rifle over dual pistols as the pistols do little damage against bosses. Think recurve vs. dagger. Dual pistols may have a higher dps, but lower damage after armor.

The first skill seems to be the main damage skill.

Second skill is mostly knockback, and often knocks the target down. Very handy when you have multiple operatives to rotate who uses this skill. In a group of 4 operatives and one commando, we managed to keep a lower level boss knocked down almost the entire fight.

Third skill is a regen skill. Best used right AFTER a fight is over, while opening chests and running to the next enemy group. Try not to use it before or during a fight as it lowers your damage for a short time.

Fourth skill is the break armor, and says that it also gives operatives increased chance for critical hit.

The Evasion type buff only lasts 6 seconds with a 30 second cooldown? It sort of helps if you use it right before a big group. You can only map 8 skills, so I might skip this and just go with better debuffs and damage skills.

Pure dex seems to add a ton of health and mana, decent hit, but not much crit or dodge.

Looking for a skill guide. Wonder when the Headquarters threads will be filled up.

My engineer is only at level 5 but the class has medium armor and int as a main, so almost like a bird/mage combo in PL. Damage seems to be decent as well. So far I like!

All my SL charcter names are the same "type" as my PL ones, so GIMBOID is an Opp.

Operative for me. Just was lookin at armor mainly helmets at the moment I'm hoping operatives have a full helmet like commandos. And the wing like body armor hope its not to fairy looking

I've redistributed the skills on my lvl 20 Opp to maximize 2 damage spells, the primary de-buffer, and the dodge skill. My skill regen time between shots is excruciatingly long, but its been very effective so far. There is a lot of room for unique skill sets in this new game.

I doubt that I will stray from my PL ways. Archer I was and archer... erm, operative, I will stay.

Otu is an op, feel free to add me -- give me a hint it's you or I might not accept

the operative in my opinion, is more similar to a bow bear.

other then that, i'm at lvl 10 almost 11. Mrknify :P reserved lols. now i've experemented with class abilities and come up with this combo,

Mind wrack 3 (works with crit yet to see the damage bonus.)
Amplify pain 5 (debuff armour and ups crit.) the armour is target the crit is your buff.
psychic lash 1 (still testing out.... root and dots... its a bit iffy at this level, but)

now the goal is a high crit to work with the bonus crit damage but in dynastar lvls 2 crits to kill a mob, and in cycorp 3 crits to kill the average mob. i toss the Psychic Lash to one back up out of range and work the other. i'm thinking Lurch would be better for this as more damage then the total dot.

Op was my first char and I plan on keepin it as my main. I chose op when I started cuz I was thinking SL would be WAY more like PL (boy was I wrong) and I have gotten used to using dex weps in PL. I Love my op, ive tried out both other classes and commando I didnt like at all, engineer was fine but I kept dying lol, the only one I could stay alive as was op so that seemed to be the only sensible choice.

OPERATIVE FLAMETHROWER FTW!!!

Actually the engineer has more survivability than the operative, not only because it has more armor than the operative but also it can heal constantly as long as u have enough mana.

Well I'm hoping that OPs will turn out stronger cause really...their DPS to armor compared to the two other classes is pretty horrible.
The best of DEX Operatives are 88 DPS and 194 Armor compared to:

Engineer that has like 74 DPS (only 13 less damage) and around 245 Armor (51 more armor)

Commando having around 49 DPS (a bit less but damages with AOE) and 325 armor (131 more armor)

I honestly think OPs should be doin around 110 DPS instead of just 88...but thats me. Hope this improves :/

I enjoy being an op. The mix of debuff skills and damage-dealing skills is nice, plus your normal DPS... hard to go wrong with that, as long as you can spam stims and/or have a good tank who is actually willing to tank.
