IDK. I'm really liking the VA as a lightsider, to be honest. It's kind of hilarious in that the character really comes off as being slightly needy and just not quite getting why he is stuck dealing with so much abuse (although he keeps coming back for more, so I suspect he secretly likes it). The character feels like one of those dogs who keeps coming up to people who hate dogs and wagging its tail, with a look on its face that says, "I know you hate dogs, but if you only knew how awesome we were, you'd love us. And I am the one who will show you the way!" Poor Quixotic. He is in for some major disappointments.
But, yeah, being a really nasty human seems pretty entertaining. (Plus, I've already decided that humans are the jerk race of Star Wars, so am letting all my evil characters be human, which is great fun.)
I was always an okay healer, but I find DPS to be so much more fun. Just melee scares me for some reason. Unsure why, seeing as I've played melee DPS both in games and table top just...IDK. I think if I'm getting up close and personal with something that can kill me, I want to be wearing armor!
Cover is kind of a finicky mechanism. I find it great fun, but there are definitely some "Oh $#@!" moments. And gunslingers/snipers do die a lot. It's something one has to accept when playing a glass canon. (Like, if you don't set up the encounter just right, you die. It is what it is.) I kind of wish that death penalties were lighter for super squishy classes when they weren't in raids. It sucks to be like, "Damn, I missed a pat. Oh well...7K repair bill." on Mutive. Oh well. I guess the good thing about the companions is that I can often leave them to die. (Although I suspect that Lokin hates my guts. Oh well. When he respects/loves me better than the Minister of Intelligence, I'll stop leaving him to die. WE TOTALLY HAVE A DEAL.)
