all I really know so far is I want to be sith. Any tips on leveling up and farming?

Dude, just do quests.
Do your class and extra missions (do all bonus ones)
Skip all heroics.
But it's mainly trial and error
Once you get to 55 you'll know good ways to farm from playing

Sounds good to me, I guess I had that old school d2 mentality was looking for a sorc or hdin of swtor lol

Sorc...
Has to be the sith sorcerer.
Sith inquisitor and then you can DPS or heal.
I played D2 as well and I love this game.

Wish I would have seen this sooner lol I have a lvl 12 juggernaut now

Tanks are great, plus faster ques for flashpoints
If u make a dps I'd suggest a imperial agent that's a sniper marksman, some pretty outrageous dps with little effort, I hear sorc inquisitor are pretty good healers plus they got the sorb shields. Last thing I'd suggest is subscribe and get a security key. Makes game funner faster more enjoyable and safer

Cool ill probably make an imperial agent next, I already subscribed lol
