UPDATE 8/18: Advanced Class Names Revealed in Press Presentations

Imperial Agent - Operative (uses blaster rifle or energy blade, stealth, burst ranged damage) & Sniper (dps - counterpart of Gunslinger)

Bounty Hunter - Powertech & Mercenary

For the Force Users I'll let L-Dubz handle that but the Sith Inquisitor's advanced classes have been mentioned.

Powertech, Merc, Sniper and Operative all sound @%&# awesome though.

Operative! Operative!

I was thinking the same for Creed actually but then I looked at the Smuggler AC's and I'm actually thinking about going Sniper (the Gunslinger equivalent) as it has the one skill that I want to suit his character, Smooth Talker!

Odd.... I would have thought "smooth talker" was more of a Scoundrel thing than a Gunslinger thing?

Smooth-talking to me implies conning people or getting their defenses down by being charming.... which I translate into "Scoundrel".

I would say gun-slingers were more masters of 'one-liners' - quick, witty remarks usually designed to make people look stupid.

Yeah well even more bizarre did you see the Troopers?

Trooper - Commando (tank) & Vanguard

I would've thought that Commando would've been DPS and Vanguard would be the Tank???



EDIT: Actually after checking out Wookiee-P it seems that is correct:

Vanguard

Mercenary!<3

At a guess (from going by the Troopers) I'm guessing the Mercenary is the Tank and the Powertech is the DPS class. I'm going to have to think VERY carefully about the BH's advanced classes before making a decision. At the end of the day though I'll go with whatever offers more crowd control abilities. Still, out of that lot I think we got a damn good deal on the names.

Yeah, I suppose. I'll make a proper decision once more information is released, I think.

maybe smooth talker is talking about the gun like we personify a gun thats full auto when its spraying its "singing" maybe a smooth talking gun is one thats firing precision shots luling the person in and exploiting its weaknesses lol or maybe its a little too poetic way of thinking xP
