Meet the Four Playable Classes of SWTOR

Star Wars : The Old Republic is steady leading for a 2011 release, and the games playable classes have been revealed. As you would anticipate, SWTOR Credits can be used to trade in for top in-game tokens.

The Trooper, Smuggler, Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular classes shape the Galactic Republic Allegiance faction of the game's major dispute. These classes introduce a stunning new interpretation of the Star Wars universe while offering plenty of strategic gameplay choices as well.

The Trooper class interprets a new aesthetic twirl on Star Wars, hewing closer to the "space marine" archetype. They use rifles that can shoot broad belts of flame or long-distance vitality outbursts. The rifles can even be used as efficient melee artilleries. Troopers also use gluey grenades that are almost impossible to take once attached to an foe.

Smugglers are the Galactic Republic Allegiance's stealing class. The SWTOR functionary land site describes a contrabandist as a smooth verbalising, loveable scalawag concerned mainly in securing SWTOR Gold. The Smuggler class's emphasis on both truth and circumstances are also made ostensible. Smugglers have weak defense reaction though, so players who wish to follow in the footfalls of the fabled Han Solo will have to make bright use of cover in a firefight

A more familiar side in the Star Wars universe, Jedi Knights need no introduction and they are one of the most challenging classes in SWTOR. They can take the head of battle with their lightsabers and Force powers. The two can even be fused to turn the lightsaber into a sort of lethal throwing stick.

Jedi Consular are a more subtle class, more akin to warrior monks than the more activity oriented Jedi Knights. They can use Force out powers as well, albeit in a more strategic capacity.

As with most MMOs, purchasing in-game currency, in this case known as SWTOR Credits or SWTOR Gold ameliorates the experience, extending the player's options and allowing them to cut less engaging missions or seekings. With impressive classes like these, SWTOR is molding up to be the MMO of 2011 and beyond. For more detailed SWTOR Class Guide, click here.
