Saenjaina Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 You know what would be cool, since Jedi/sith are clearly thought of as a prestige class and naturally better or at least more powerful than other classes That's quite an unfounded statement. Besides, there are lots of examples of non-force wielders being very capable of dispatching force users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWUSS Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 What archetypes are we missing now? The trooper/BH would probably be the heavy armor, heavy weapons tankers; the smuggler would be light armor, light weapon opposite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWUSS Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I agree with you, there will definitely be a counterpart to the Smuggler, but I can't think of what it will be. Sith Spy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Almost everyone seems to guess a spy/assassin kind of character. It's very likely. I have no idea what the other classes will be, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Just remember everyone... This means there will be 4 classes each AT RELEASE Who knows how many more they'll add down the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah, I imagine just like any proper MMO there will be expansions with new classes, etc...But that's a long way down the road. Since the Smuggler does seem to be like a rogue kind of character, some kind of spy or assassin would make sense, but I can't think of an iconic role like the currently announced classes are.

Mara Jade was the Emperors right hand, its quite a popular character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithPrince Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The reason I said Assassin was because the Assassins Sion and Nihilus used were trained at Trayus academy on Malachor which was put there by the True sith if i remember. So it only makes sense that they would have something close to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it only makes sense that they would have something close to them.That is a good point. The only thing is if they want to make a true counterpart to the Smuggler class, well the Smuggler is ranged and the Sith Assassins from TSL were melee. Then again, BioWare seems to not acknowledge the existence of TSL, so we probably won't see anything close to that game anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenjaina Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 But counterparts doesn't have to be complete mirrors of each other. Imagine WoW before Shaman and Paladin became shared. If they could make a game that has two sides with each their own completely unique classes. Now that would be a game worth playing. That would add some meaning to choosing side.

Jeff Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah, I guess they don't need to be exactly the same. But I do expect something along the lines of the Bounty Hunter - Trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrawn2034 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 My speculation is: Republic side: 1) Jedi 2) Trooper 3)smuggler 4)Medic (speculation) Sith side: 1) Sith lord 2) Bounty Hunter 3) Spy (speculation) 4) Assasin or Commando (speculation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithPrince Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 right so sith can't heal themselves? unless a assassin can somehow heal which makes no sense either does a commando healing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrawn2034 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 right so sith can't heal themselves? unless a assassin can somehow heal which makes no sense either does a commando healing.... In SW lore the Sith are always about the offence. It makes sence that Bioware don't give the Sith side a healing class. Besides, both Jedi and Sith lords have force healing, a basic force power that can be used by both light side and dark side, same as force run and force jump.

Lord of Hunger Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 My prediction: Republic -Jedi Guardian -Jedi Consular -Republic Trooper -Smuggler Sith -Sith Marauder -Sith Lord -Sith Legionnaire -Bounty Hunter The Jedi and Sith Classes will be similar to what they were in KOTOR and TSL, but probably more extreme. A Guardian/Marauder will be even more lightsaber and brute power focused, however. Consular/Lord will be the usual mage class. Also, this time we will no longer have the Sentinel/Assassin class (both pointless middle ground classes who do very little thing differently from non-Force users). Republic Troopers and Sith Legionnaires will essentially just be the same class (ranged front lines soldiers) but different allegiances. Smuggler and Bounty Hunter classes are essentially the Freelancer classes, but aligned respectively: one makes money by selling goods illegally, the other makes money by killing or capturing people.

WraithPrince Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 ... why are you making them 2 different classes? they could easily be done into Talent tree's or w/e they are going to call them. Their is no need for 2 classes that are the same thing only they are better at 1 aspect of them self. The last space has to be a healing class because so far all we have heard of is trooper being able to do a bit of healing which will be probably a small self heal.

Jeff Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah I do not expect there to be multiple Jedi / Sith classes. They have pretty much said "Jedi" and "Sith" will be the class names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I certainly hope they don't do it that way Lord. As it is we will already have plenty of Jedi and Sith. Lets not make half the classes Jedi/Sith as well. Actually I could kinda see the Sith not having a medic class... Maybe a Chemist class? Bit on poisons and painful but effective remedies.

WraithPrince Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Or since Sith are addicted to adrenaline stims they could have a stim chemist or w/e your call a guy that makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyNameDidntFit Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Sith Stealth Class? -- Forums of the Old Republic There's a screenshot of what appears to be a new character, who you might think was just a female Smuggler, were it not for the caption: It takes skill to avoid detection by the Jedi. It could just be saying that Smugglers aren't liked by the Jedi, but I don't think so... I'd say it seems more likely that this is an Empire aligned spy/infiltrator class, especially as the character in this screenshot looks exactly like the Twi'lek from the Deceived cinematic, only human.

Saenjaina Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I very much agree with that line of thought, MyNameDidntFit. But the idea of some class along those lines had also been brewing in my mind. It seems indeed very thinkable that Sith would have some deceving, hidden, sneaky class. It would fit very well in the logic of them being generally evil and deceiving. Also, it accomodates the idea of Trooper vs. Bounty Hunter, and in the light of this, Smuggler vs. "Spy" (or what you choose to call this class).

MyNameDidntFit Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah, I think that from the beginning there was always going to be an Empire aligned class that focussed upon stealth, trickery and deceit as they're some of the Sith's most well known traits. The only issue know is trying to figure out the last pair of classes and, to be honest, I'd really rather if they weren't healers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
