Basic Star Wars: The Old Republic strategies can be found below.

Republic Character Classes

Trooper: The basic soldier class of the game, Troopers use heavy firepower and specialized squads to overpower enemies. Use the Trooper's heavy armor and powerful weapons to your advantage in overpowering your opponents.

Jedi Consular: This class is the complement to the Jedi Knight. Whereas the Knights specialize in lightsaber combat perhaps more than anything else, Consulars are better with Force-based techniques. Using wisdom and meditation, they act as the wise sages of the Republic and use their knowledge to out-think their enemies.

Smuggler: A master of stealth and surveillance, it isn't too far of a stretch to call smugglers the scout class of the game. Best at indirect combat, you won't want to use this class in open combat, stick to the shadows instead.

Jedi Knight: Masters of close combat with a lightsaber and offensive Force abilities, Jedi Knights are one man armies with the Force as their allies. Use their advanced Force powers and quick agility to overwhelm enemies in larger groups.

Sith Empire Classes

Bounty Hunter: The Bounty Hunter possesses specialized gadgets and high-tech weaponry. As a result, they are a powerful choice in combat against Jedi Knights, more so than any class other than the Sith Warrior. They are especially useful for unexpected attacks due to their sometimes bizarre tactics.

Sith Inquisitor: Less aggressive and more withdrawn than the Sith Warriors, this class specializes in dark-side powers much like the Consular specializes in light-side powers. Beware their efficient use of Force Lightning and stay your distance.

Imperial Agent: Stealth is your friend. The dark counterpart to the Smuggler, Agents are shadowy fiends that assassinate their enemies with quick, powerful attacks.

Sith Warrior: The Sith Warrior complements the Jedi Knight on the dark side, with its brutally efficient hand-to-hand combat skill with a lightsaber.

Try to keep in mind what your class was designed for with these class specializations, and then use that to develop successful strategies for yourself in this huge online world.
