I love the shield cover. If this game holds up to be everything the clips show, it will be awesome. I just hope it looks good on paper and live.

I have no idea what the next 2 classes will be. To me, I think the next 2 will be the most exciting. My question is: Are they saving the best for last? It is hard for me to think of a class because I am tainted by SWG. I was thinking some kind of pet class but most fans think that is a no go. Are we going to see healers, medics, support classes, or Bioware is hiding the fact that all classes can be specced to do anything? I’m lost. I’m trying to think of a famous SW character to model after.

Does ITG crew have any guesses? I’m not a SW lore geek so I don’t know beyond SWG, what there is.

  I don’t think we have any really solid clues to go on for the last 2 classes. If I had to guess though, I’d think they’d make some sort of pet class for each side. Think squad leader with troops, creature handler with pets, droid engineer with robots, etc.

That is what I thought too, but on DH and the forums the popular thought is no pet classes because you can have NPC companions. I’ve researched Star Wars notable characters and they have been covered in some way by TOR. The only things not covered are out there as classes. Example: Droids, Pilot, Tuskin Raider (crazy raider type in general), a brute like Wookies, or some type of weapons engineer ( too much like Agent, Smuggler, Trooper, BH).

I’m trying to think outside the box, but can’t find any other interesting class besides a pet class or support class. If they have entertainers/dancers I’m just going to stay with WoW.

All these ranged classes minus the Jedi makes me think the next 2 classes will be up close and personal. I don’t know tho. All I can think of is SWG TK as a class worth a bucket of poop.

  That’s right, now that you mention it. I won’t be surprised to see npc companions, just like they have in Dragon Age. Those companions make pet classes irrelevant, especially when you can just click to control and play as the pet. Perhaps a healing/support class, but I don’t know if they will necessarily go with the healer/tank/dps trinity style of class make up. If there is going to be space driven combat, the pilot based characters would certainly make sense too! GRRR just announce them BioWare! Probably going to be another 30-45 days till the final 2 are announced, they’ll probably draw it out.
