* = Name may not be right
AI = Additional Information

As always: PLEASE HELP me to get all the new information and correct me if Im wrong. Thanks!

*I am aware of this post, but it is not fact based and it coveres a wider spectrum of the smuggler (e.g. roleplaying), and its not as detailed as this post.*

One of the things that will be very fun sometimes I think: running away while still shooting the other fella!

This class does sound very very awesome - my only "concern", if you will, being that he might not stand so much of a chance out of cover (= too reliant on cover). Now, thankfully, they will probably have added lots of cover possibilities. But how hard can it be for some other class to just run around the cover and get close... what then? Well - of course this is a rhetorical question as the other player will experience the lovely feel of our shoe in his(/her) groin.

But still - this has a 1 minute CD, so how will 1v1 fights Smuggler vs melee (or ranged) look like, I ask you.

Well, I'll be going Scoundrel. So, I think I'll be more reliant on stealth than cover. I'm gonna focus on healing as that's been my preferred role in MMOs. Even though I've never cared for crafting before, I'm really intrigued by TOR's system. I think I may go BioChem to make medpacks. His RP story will be manufacturing and smuggling medical supplies to Republic Loyalists on Sith controlled worlds.

I've been planning on playing a Smuggler (Sullustan, if possible!) since Oct 09, but I'm suddenly having second thoughts. I haven't had much luck with stealth classes in other MMOs and that worries me a little. I'll definitely wait until further down the road before making a decision, but I hope the play style will suit me as I know this is the storyline I want to see most.

Well, you don't have to go stealth. The Gunslinger doesn't even have access.

Personally I think the AC system is very awesome...! (in general, not just for the smuggler)

*pew*pew*

I still don't know if I will have a Gunslinger or Scoundrel main.

I'm going toward Gunslinger just to have the "charm" benefit of it, but the scoundrel with his "shotgun" that can push back Sith Warriors interest me quite a bit too.

Gotcha Az,

You are added to the "Snuggles" list! /pointup

You might want to fix the typo in my name.

< Sry Az...lack of sleep made me do it!

Well if I was to go the way of the Rebublic I may chose to go with a Smuggler. Gunslinger all the way. Sounds like what Da'Star was Pre-Jerdi. when he was just a Master Pistoler/master Ranger, with a little Fencer for KD resists. Duel Pistols looks fun, and as Da'star always was a smooth "Colt 45" talker. The original Imp-Pimp. remember the IMP-PIMP Camps, schwen? I get the ability to "Smooth talk" don't care what it really does I just want the button to be able to push. Plus I get "Nut Shot!!" I mean Groin Kick... Still an awesome ability if I get to kick you and you grab your "Groin Area" as an animation. This would be my non Tank choice if I don't go Trooper-Vanguard as a Republic member. But as always I will pick the Empire over the crybaby rebels.

Rofl! I'll add you as an "alt" to the "Snuggles" list bro...

I miss those days...Da'star..pimp camps...clowning around...dying....watching Joerak die...watching Joerak run back from the cloner....watching Joerak die again...coining the "Dr.Death" nickname for Joerak..=priceless

That groin dealy reminds me of the "lowblow" in SWG-Snuggles...That was the wickedest KD in the entire game back then!...Well....til' the dark times....til the "dev NERF"...(I want my LLC back shooting a wall of friggen(<--Selven profanity filter activated) lightning..like berk on LOK!)

Anyways, your alt is added

I plan on playing a gunslinger as my first alt, and base it after Revvy from Black Lagoon regarding the visual aspect.

Your alt is posted Aohh

Galeg, I don't have you listed yet, as you are currently undecided

Thanks. We are not a lot who have chosen this class so far. And half among those who did plan on playing it as an alt. Smuggling will be rare in the galaxy.

Its a real cool looking class, though. I have to go Sith for starters, but, I plan on playing a Smuggler later on in-game . I love the "firing from cover".

Yeah I am sure I will have Ol'Timer as my Smuggler alt. that would make him around 3,600 years old. Damn guess he refused to die. too Cranky. I have to make a real name for him. Can't be Ol'timer during this era. he can be Young Buck, lol. I will be the king of nutshots. "Groin Shot".

Rofl! That would be hilarious! "Yung'Buck'Timer" (he could also rap )

My primary alt will be a scoundrel. However, if you are adding alts you could put my name down in every <class> corner. Heck (<---proactive Selven profanity filter) you can put me down twice, once for each advanced class with a different lightside/darkside alignment. It's going to take me a long time to get all the way through this game and I'm going to have to come up with a lot of RP backstories.
