Change TOR Preferences for Looting, Auto-Targeting
As soon as you begin your saga in Star Wars: The Old Republic, I highly recommend that you enable the following options:
- Auto-loot on Right-click: Does exactly what it says and saves you a ton of time. You’ll know if the mobs dropped something good based on the light beam that appears on their slain corpse.
- Enable Area Loot: This is just awesome. You don’t have to loot each and every mob after your fight is over. Just pick the mob that is illuminated and all their collective loot will belong to you.
- Auto Target Closest Enemy: This allows for more effective spamming of your general attacks. You are typically fighting more than one mob at a time in TOR, so this will switch targets automatically while you hack and slash/shoot.
My Favorite TOR Resources
Like that pretty lady on that show that I never watch says, “You’re either in… or you’re out!” For me, I’m still out of the early game access for Star Wars: The Old Republic. However, that hasn’t kept me from enjoying the fantastic TOR resource sites, blogs, and live game play streams. Here’s a short list of my favorite TOR sites so far:
- Ask a Jedi - News and community blog
- Gamebreaker TV - Covers news for TOR and other MMOs
- Skelton Jack - Blog with live streaming
- TOR Wars - Online magazine and blog
- Torhead - Primary TOR resource site
I also have a short list of TOR podcasts that I’ll review in a future post.
Sith Juggernaut (32/2/7) Build
This will be my build as I enter into TOR (hopefully) today. My main will be an Immortal Sith Pureblood Juggernaut.
