A blind monkey with cerebral palsy could play Clone/Wook/SBD effectively
Not actually true. Those classes can be counterplayed pretty hard, especially if a newbie is playing them. And saying it THAT exaggeratedly just means that if an inexperienced player DOES try those class and does poorly, they'll feel worse about themselves. We don't want to discourage people about their own skill level or capabilities, as a rule.
Although I suppose if you didn't acknowledge that they are easy classes in the grand scheme of things, then the opposite could happen: someone could pick those classes early on and do well with them, and then refuse to ever switch because "this is the only class I'm good with." That wouldn't be all bad though. While the classes do have a fairly low barrier to entry, there's not actually many dedicated pros of those classes, because of the stigma, I think.
(well, no, i've seen people like Comex play Clone. But for really scary SBDs there's basically just Goliath, and at least in NA there simply doesn't exist a Wookiee charge shot master. Although I saw a Mando charge shot master for the first time ever last week.)
honestly, they might even be overpowered classes, I personally almost refuse to have a stance on that for lack of experience. They're definitely
strong and I wish people used them (and Deka)
more, so people would learn how to fight them better instead of just being scared of them and refusing to use them. Pretty sure I've multiple times seen people try SBD or Wookiee for a round, do badly, and switch off, though. I think newbies gravitate much more towards Saberist instead, because high survivability and laser sword.
(oy vey, i need to go back to studying succinctness, every post i've written recently has been unnecessarily in-depth.)
