PAX: Class Abilities List

PAX: Class Abilities List

While at the Penny Arcade Expo, we had time to write down all of the abilities in the demo for our community here at DH. After the jump you will find the playable classes with abilities listed in order of level trained. Many of these will be familiar to people who have seen the abilities list from Gamescom, but a few of them have changed even since then. A full abilities list comparison will come later in the week but for now here are the abilities. Note: It is implied that these are only general class abilities and do not include advanced class abilities. The starting abilities that are missing from here were the same from Gamescom and were not changed so our staff in attendance did not write those down.

    Interestingempire = dmg focused & republic = more team oriented. Made me want to play ALL empire based classes though. Inquisitor wasnt even on my radarnow it is. Trooper became really appealing too. +1 excitement.

    Can a sith warrior be a dps with one light saber or does it have to be two?
    Last, Is a sith warrior tank and party buffer?

    If I remember what Daniel said in an interview is that all the Force users can use a single blade if they wish all the time, its just the Doublebladed and twin blades can be used, if you choose, once you select an advanced class.

    So if your going a DPS Sith you can use one if you want but I guess there maybe certain abilities you have that require two blades equiped.

    A couple things I noticed about the SW -

    it looks like you may get your lightsaber at level 4 from the description of the level 4 ability, impale.
    since force charge starts a rank 2, could that indicate that you get the first rank through a story quest or something similar?

    Oh and Force Crush "Suspends the target in the air while the Warrior channels his ability. If the channeling completes successfully, the target is crushed and takes massive amount of damage." ...Love it!

    The sith warrior already start with force charge rank 1 :)

    Sith Warrior starting skills:

    Assault (basic rage building attack)
    Vicious Slash(high damage single target attack)
    Force Charge (gap closer)
    Channel Hatred (Out of combat self heal, 15 sec channeling)

    Hmm, some of the classes seem to have a better suite of abilities than others. The BH has a nice number of abilities which would ideally keep combat interesting (especially with a the interaction between some abilities and AoE vs. Single Target choice in others). Contrast that to the Trooper who seems worse off. I hope talents or other things flesh this out a bit more for the classes that are lagging behind in this area.

    If there is one thing that worries me about combat it is that I don't want it to become a mind-numbing affair like WoW where almost all classes just do the same sequence over and over again (occasionally using a proc or something). Of course, the fact combat is against groups rather than just one opponent should help a good bit here, but it seems like some classes need a little love (imho).

    You think these abilities will work the same in PVP?

    Not sure if this has a definitive answer yet but... Could the Sith Inquisitor have the option of wearing... pants in stead of those full skirt things or a all the Sith Inquisitor costume based around that concept.

    The reason I ask is I'm not a fan of a outfit that looks like you could trip over it with every other step. Also, I sort like my characters to you know... have feet.

    They show SI wearing pants in the combat video. (little quick vid I made pulling all the SI footage from VidDoc4)

    The SI in the vid has feet... and pincher claws on the tips of shoes! :D

    Ah I knew I could count on you to do this :) Thanks.

    I'm guessing you are a Metric fan?
