BOXability of SWTOR

2 Sorcs would work well as well. I thought you were interested in at least some melee component to your group. For easy of leveling initially ya 2 Sorc will beat Sorc/Assassin.

I think the best reason to start a team of the same AC is so you can do the exact same quests. it would speed things up a tad. But two sorcs have lots of CC..heals..ranged dps..and two bad ass tanks from the start. I have not leveled anything above 20..so I have no idea what order they get pets and what spec the pets are. But I'm sure at some point a ranged pet would be better with the tank pet.

Basic class.

All basic classes share the same story, so Assassin = Sorc, Merc = Powertech, you get the picture. This allows you to do a little mix and matching. Obviously the two that stand out are then Sith Inquisitor and Bounty Hunters since they can have both a Tank and a Healer!

Inquisitors get their ranged DPS companion on Tatooine, which is roughly level 24-28. They get their melee DPS companion on Taris which is level 32-36 roughly. They get their healer companion on Hoth which is around level 38-40. They get their ranged tank companion after Voss, Voss is a level 46ish planet.

Additionally, the bonus crafting companion, the Ship Droid, was turned into a healer as of last build to fill the gap for some AC's that don't get access to a healer until the end game. The Ship Droid has infact become statistically the best healer IMO for Imperials due to the nature of Droid Armor. Ever wished you could run around with a healer companion that sported tank levels of mitigation? Additionally all droid armor in the game have tank stats, so they get significant evasion abilities as well.

I'm just about to get the droid as we speak.. i did not know they did that change.. nice.. Vettes DPS is insane though.. from a soloing perspective, I'm not sure what will be better at these lower levels. ( playing a SM atm )
