As many of you may already have noticed, details on the second class have officially been released on the Old Republic website – the Trooper.
The Troopers are the elite of the Galactic Republic’s military, trained to fight side-by-side with the Jedi to one day take on the Sith; these guys aren’t to be messed with.
This is the first class officially announced for the Galactic Republic and it gives a really positive impression of the things to come from SWTOR.
One thing that I originally thought would make or break this game was going to be how Bioware dealt with the classes that cant use the force, and it seems they have done this by giving Troopers some interesting ranged abilities. Among these are the basic Rifle, a Grenade Launcher and most notably Sitcky bombs! (“Bet you can’t stick ‘em!”)
Whether these abilities are going to bring enough balance to a class that can’t shoot electricity out of their hands, or force-push you off a cliff is yet to be seen, but it’s positive so far.
