I would like to see a class entirely reliant on little bots and robots, like a Tech Officer or something.

Think Doc's little floating healy robot, but everything the class does is done by little tech things that you call down from the sky, or pop out of nowhere. Not entirely pet based, as they wouldn't have a permanent presence though. I would also like it to use those little flamethrower pods that make the circles on the ground.

I am told that there is a profession in game that offers some of this functionality, but I see Star Wars as a very tech heavy universe, so am kind of surprised this doesn't already exist as a class choice.

But if not, maybe some kind of blade expert, without lightsabers, instead using Rakkata swords etc, and using the force to swing them, instead of wielding them directly.

I would also like to see support classes too, like bards and such.

An Officer class. Not too unlike the operative, but with a bigger emphasis on "pets". Now I say "pets" because people will understand what I mean when it comes to that.
The "pets" would acctually be troopers that behave a bit like companions, but you have several, and they dont count towards the cap for a group. They also dont have as many skills as a companion, and they dont hold any aggro so they dont replace acctual companions and players in any way.
Their purpose is to, when active, provide buffs and some basic skills like mild amounts of healing and extra firepower. When one dies the group loses its buff and obviously it cant use its abilities.

Basically the class would be an officer in charge of a small squad of troopers.


Id like to see something like that.

Given all the Advance Classes and speccing options, I'm actually struggling to think of a new class type to add, as they've already covered pretty much all the bases.

The only thing I can really think of is a pet-master classe...... but, of course, with companions already in this would be difficult.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

They could do that, but I really don't see how they could seperate them form the Guard/Jugg/Sent/Mara and Assassin/Shadow classes.

It would be very difficult to not make them basically the same as one of those, only without lightsabers.

Im glad this came up again. I made a post like this a while back that got some GREAT responses with detailed descriptions and so on.

Here is a link to the thread

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=275314

Therein you will see stuff like MY suggestion for the Thug/Berserker

Class Ideas:

Thug / Berserker: Melee based non-force user.
Races: Human, Cathar, Twi'lek, Rodian, Cyborg, Chiss, Trandoshan
Armor: Medium Armor (possible tank AC with heavy armor)
Weapons: Uses vibrosword, vibroknife, techstaff, and other melee weapons.
Style: Utilizes brute strength and dirty fighting techniques to win in battle.
Stats: Strength as a main stat.
Faction: Easily placed into both without any retcon
Resource: Rage

Starting area1 - 10)
Republic: newly repopulated quarter of Coruscant
Basic Story: Starts as newly recruited thug for the newest crime syndicate on Coruscant.
Upon completion of prelude heads to upper levels for chance at redemption and becoming a feared warrior for the republic

Imperial: Either another part of Hutta or a previously un known level of Nar Shaddaa
Basic Story: Pumped full of stims at a young age used as a kill-bot for ruthless gang when a vision, dream or moment of clarity offers a chance to turn on captors and fight your way out of the living hell you find yourself in. Eventually being taken to Drummond Kaas as bounty, then being used as servant of death to your new master, a corrupt imperial agent.

EDIT FOR: I was just thinking how cool it would be to dual weild vibroknives and use special weakpoint targets to do massive damage. OR the tank spec would use Electrostaves. yeah that would be cool. Like a morning star weilding paladin from D&D

I'd love to make a Droid Race/class that can join either side.


You start the game's story as a droid that realizes over the first 10 levels that you were once a living being. Depending on your choices (light or dark), you end up joining either the Empire or Republic after the starter area. And then, the story revolves around you finding out you and your team were murdered so you could be used in this new Droid program. Your journey would have you searching out your other team mates (also Droids used in this experiment) and the "who done it" would be different depending on which side you're playing on.

The ACs would be a DPS/Tank build that uses Vibroswords in Melee and then a DPS/Healer that uses Blaster Rifles/Heals at Range.


They could get the guy you voiced HK-47 to do the voice overs.

If they add Wookiees or Transdoshians, I wouldn't be surprised if they give them unique classes as well as stories. They could probably have some of the current species to the classes with a different story (At least part) and VO.

Transdoshians could be a hunter class - ACs Ranged Firepower, Traps and Devices
Wookiee could be a Warrior class - ACs Ranged (DPS, Tank), Melee (Tank, DPS)

The longer this game can go without an expansion the better!
Expansions mean the old content is stale and they need to re hash it all. Also expansions mean buying new stuff, just update the game with that content, thats why I pay you a monthly fee!
