SWTOR Trooper class review

Star Wars the Old Republic MMO is here, and yes, they have other classes available to play in addition to Jedi or Sith. One of these classes is Trooper. I’m going to give you a quick review of the SWTOR Trooper class so you can see if they fit your play style.

The Trooper is an elite Special Forces fighting machine. They wear heavy armor and use great firepower to overwhelm their opponents. There aren’t many mystical force powers for the Trooper, instead they use powerful blaster rifles, two-handed cannons, and grenades to charge headlong into battle and take him to the enemy.

When playing the Trooper you have 2 advanced classes to choose from, the Commando and the Vanguard.

The command is the main specification of DPS and can also be used to heal. Their main weapons are heavy blaster cannons and grenades. They have 2 main skill trees, Artillery and Combat Medic.

Artillery: It focuses on maximizing the destructive power of your cannons.

Combat Medic: It gives the Commando the ability to heal in small groups and heal in larger groups.

Vanguard is the defensive specialization (Tank). Their main weapons are blaster rifles and energy shields. They have 2 main skill trees, Tactics Specialist and Shields.

Tactic: Teaches the Vanguard how to more effectively engage in close-range combat.

Shield Specialist: Focuses on upgrading shield generators to absorb more damage and protect allies.

The command and the vanguard share the Assault Specialist tree. These abilities increase the range of grenades and add explosives to your arsenal.
