Imperial Agent Skills: The Agent, as said before, is a trickster and deceiver. He is a spy after all. His abilities will play on this, and exploit every weakness he can find on an enemy. He is a master soldier above all else though, so while the Sith call upon the Force and Bounty Hunters often experiment with dangerous, prototype tech, it’s the Agent’s own skill that gets him through most scraps.
Using such skill drains Energy, a resource pool from which the Agent will draw. This regenerates naturally over time, so just make sure to keep the rate at which you expend Energy lower than the rate at which you build it and you’ll be fine. The Agent’s abilities are focused on bringing down enemies quickly with burst DPS anyway, so you should only need to use a handful per group for levels 1-10.
1.Shiv: A melee attack which deals moderate damage initially, while also dealing small damage over time.
2.Snipe: Only usable from cover, this long-range attack deals a crazy amount of damage, taking some weaker enemies out in a single shot.
3.Explosive Probe: My personal favorite and a great opener, drop an explosive probe onto an unsuspecting enemy and then nail it with a regular shot. You’ll cause a good amount of AoE damage, even to those who were merely standing nearby.
Imperial Agent Closing Thoughts: The Agent was a surprise stunner for me. While just about as complex as the Smuggler – something of a turn-off for me – I found myself enjoying my indulgence in the bad girl fantasy infinitely more titillating. She walks about with a great sense of calm and certainty, without too much over-written, forceful dialogue.
The Agent has some truly fantastic scenes within its storyline as well. Little niceties pop up here and there, like disarming a room of bugs so that you can contact your superiors or losing the British accent when playing as a false identity. Humorous and light-hearted this class is not, but sometimes you just want to walk around, knowing you’re the most awesome person in the room, you know?
Well, that’s all of it dear friends and fans! We’ve gone through every class The Old Republic has to offer. We started with the Jedi Knight, moved on to the Jedi Consular, Trooper and Smuggler for the Republic faction, and now we’ve completed the Empire’s class guides as well! In case you missed ’em, there’s the Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter, and last but certainly not least, this guide on the Imperial Agent.
