If you've ever played a SW/JK you'll know that they start with medium armor, A reduction would be hard to work with.
"Hey, wanna swap out your medium armor that does well to protect you for this light armor that'll most likely get you killed ten seconds into battle?" Also, this class doesn't really need cool new weapons to attract more cooks and weirdos. Maras/Sents already do enough of that.
I do like this idea a little more as it would give them more of a reason to use there weapon as saber pikes would be able to reach that long. I also like the beast master idea, We need a class that can stun animals.
This one is interresting... I think it should be an AoE class that uses mostly cone-shaped AoEs. (This idea comes from the shotgun idea. Ever play SW battlefront 2?)
Again with the armor reduction? To me this would seem odd at the end of BH chapter one when Basically, I want you to imagine a Trooper wearing a skirt. No, just no.
On all of these all together, What happens if someone wants to roll one of the new ACs, but there server character slots? "Oh, just delete someone." And if they're on a RP server?
Friend: "Any idea what happened to your brother? Haven't seen him in a while."
Player: "He died."
Friend: "I'm so sorry, how did he die?"
Player: "We needed to make room on our ship."
But again these are just my opinions.
