It is more of an Instructional Guide on the mechanics of PvP in SWTOR. Note: this guide is not intended as a Strategy Guide. I will update it later should open world PvP become embraced by Bioware. This guide is being written when open world PvP is virtually non-existent in the game (March 2012, as of Update 1.1.5) so will focus solely on War Zones. In SWTOR, PvP has two forms: Open World PvP, and War Zones. If you are an experienced PvPer from other MMORPGs, this guide will only have minimal value for you, if any.

This guide is intended for players who are new to PvP in general, especially to PvP in SWTOR.
