Title: Advanced Classes Reveal
Post by: Tbone on August 18, 2010, 12:48:19 pm

Coming from Gamescom. I'm hoping some of these names have been lost in translation.

And obviously,

Sith Warrior - Juggernaut (Single Saber, Tank) & Marauder (Dual Sabers, DPS)

"For example, if you are a Sith Warrior and you decide to go down the Juggernaut path then you will be wearing heavy armor and wielding a single lightsaber. You are much more of a tank character.  However, if you decide to go with the Marauder path, then you get to wield two lightsabers and you are dealing a lot of damage. You are much more of a dps character."

They're also showcased on the official site just like the jedi classes for anyone that may not know.

Shadow sounds interesting... I'm thinking that may be the best solo class

I always thought "Wizard" was a term used as a way of mocking the Jedi. Kind of like how Han called it a "hokey religion". Seems weird that they would choose such a word for an official title.

I'm just bummed that there's been so little love for Smugglers.

Yes, I agree. Uncle Owen said about Obi-Wan when Luke first asked about him: "That wizard's just a crazy old man."
