Guess what? Another update I just can't be satisfied. Now I made this thread a central hub to divert readers to the rest of the classes and mechanic/attribute discussions. Have fun.

This thread is designed to show the classes' new attribute system and combat mechanics. Nothing in this thread is confirmed and only opinion and speculation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Attributes: Morale: Increases melee and critical chance with tech-weapon damage and skills and decreases some damage taken. Subtlety: Increases damage, healing, and critical strike and critical healing with Tech based skills and boosts their combat probes. New Resources: Dominance: This resource works similar to how the Rogue in WoW or Rift, where you build up combos and then use a finishing strike or ability that uses up the charges to null. Many will argue that this will be similar to Jedi Knight or Sith Warrior's focus and rage, respectively; no, there are only six charges. If the Dominance points are at max, it is advisable to spend the points ASAP. Power: This resource works similar to Wow Cataclysm-era Hunters, Officers/Spies use Power whenever they do attacks or summon a Probe. When they are out of or low on Power, they cannot use many offensive/support abilities, otherwise the Officer/Spy will have certain abilities that recharge the Power. Unlike Smugglers and IA who’s Energy recharges every second, theirs do not recharge, they need to use these Power-generating abilities to recharge their Power resource. New mechanics: Morale-users: The object for these classes is to build and max up Dominance points (or Combo Points in other games). Instead on a target, the resource bar will tally each point. Finishing moves (or Executions in-game) will be unlocked once Dominance points are equal or greater than one, and will scale each point until it maxes out at six. o Tanks gain a chance to gain a combo (Dominance point) when taking damage. Use Finishing moves to increase defenses, a mini-heal, or to deal damage. DPS'ers gain a chance to gain a combo when completing an execution/finishing move or when attacking with combo-creating abilities. Use Finishing moves to increase melee speed and to deal damage. Subtlety-users: This is a “pet-based” class, where they summon a temporary Probe droid to assist in combat in a particular role, kind of similar to Shaman’s totems from WoW. o Healers (Ranger/Dragoon) can summon a Healing Probe to assist in healing, while other talents will aid the Officer/Spy in healing in general. The Probe can be cancelled or destroyed in combat. o Damagers use an Assault Probe that aids in combat, doing damage along with the creator for a very short period of time. o Stealth-based DD's (Watcher/Infiltrator) use a Sapper Probe that aids in combat, dealing damage along with the creator, and when killed, duration ends, or simply detonated, will cause an explosion, dealing an AE attack around it. o Officer/Spies of any role can have a Sentry Probe that supports the creator or group by decreasing incoming damage to all members in the party/operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to learn about the other classes or attributes, go to my main thread which links to the other classes, click the link below.

YES! Agreed.

This. Although I disagree in some of your points, I do aprove. Most people, and I stress that, want to choose a class with a unique play style from other classes, whereas WoW (as you stated) made many classes very similar to one another, but different in name only. I don't want ToR falling for the same thing.

This is what I think how Bioware's share tree specializations work: it's a Utility tree that can have points be put in, but just increase an ability/stat/etc. Or it's one of those "pick a play-style you like" kind of things. Otherwise, I think your idea would be cool, but it wouldn't be really balanced if everyone could heal/tank, you wouldn't need other classes, imo.

New update: added Imperial Officer and Republic Spy "Power" resource, combat mechanics, and some updated information for the Renegade/Imperial Guard.

Thank you for adding that, I forgot to mention it in my earlier post. Yes, money, but it feels like a job. I wouldn't get into my personal space ship and fly in on a space mission and go "okay, another day another dollar," no, I want it to be an adventure, like a Star Wars movie, not a job! That's why I really don't like Ilum, it's a daily hub, not adventure.

LOL! This is actually in-game, especially the higher level ones. However, they are so predictable in terms of flight path, and most of the time they escape quickly behind an asteroid.

Totally agree on everything above. Your idea would inspire competition, a reason to do them besides getting free exp, tokens, titles. Also, add something of a curve-ball during the mission, because most of the time i can expect where the guy comes in and leaves. Love the idea.

I don't want to sound like I'm redirecting to or endorsing my thread, but take a look at my thread i made some time back of class ideas.

Update: New explanations for new attributes, new resource and mechanics for new the classes and clarified their roles based on the mechanics. Enjoy and keep the recommendations and opinions flowing.

I would like to remind people that this isn't comfirmed information, this is all my idea of new classes. If you want to discuss content this isn't the thread you're looking for.

That's true.

Kashyyk would be awesome!

thanks for the feedback and I totally agree, with adding BH to Republic and Smuggler to Empire, they already have their counterparts. If Bioware doesn't want to add new classes, I'm down with that. But how awesome they did with the classes and their stories, I really want to see more of it.

*Status update* Pirate/Privateer has been changed to "Renegade" a fromer Imperial Soldier, a prisoner of war who is then conscripted to serve in the Republic Military. These thugs are harsh, cruel, but somehow loyal to the Republic: is freedom their desire, or is it vengeance for Empire leading them into the hands of the Republic?

I'd love to see a 3rd faction too, but if you are like me and played DAoC, you would know how hard it was for Mythic to keep balance for all three factions. Story wise, I think it could work, similar to how "Empire at War" did it, a "neutral" faction that hates both Republic and Empire.

Thanks for the feedback, first off, yes "Pirate" seems too much like a Smuggler, especially when the Smuggler gets conscripted into the Republic military as a Privateer in the storyline, but I was aiming for an idea (as you pointed out) a non-force using melee combatant. I may change it to something else, but I wanted to go for a total bad*** convict who is given the choice of service in the military or continued jail time. Many of the specializations are names only, not sure how the mechanics of the class would work. But as the Imperial Guard goes: YES! I totally agree with you, every time I go to Korriban or Draman Kass and see the Imperial Guardsman, I think to myself, "I want to play as you!"

Again with another update, this time I added some new stuff: Friends and family gave me a cool idea, some more NEW classes. Again, this is all just a suggestion/opinion. I thank all those who have took their time reading the Great Wall of China of text, and their opinions. With the new ideas, the page is even longer and you have to read the thing again... sorry But, read at your own will and feel free to discuss your opinions or comments.

Cleaned up the typos and re-edited the specializations. Enjoy

Idea is kind of good, but the idea of having "3 tanks " and etc seems like a PvP raid encounter. PvP needs to focus less on group roles, but gives the freedom of actually participating and not have to worry about being the right spec. In my opinion, I'd like to see a old school (now bear with me) Alterac Valley. Just forty people rushing head-into enemy bases and killing the opposing faction's leader. I no longer play wow, but that was my favorite BG. Besides who wants another "Capture the flag" since we got Huttball, or "Hold the nodes" Aldaraan Civil War?
