We wanted to cover some quick interesting points about the Smuggler in a little bit longer then normal post. First off.... Don't KITE!
- Try kiting a Sith Warrior, who can force charge up to 30 meters and can throw their Lightsaber.
- Try kiting a Sith Inquisitor, who has powerful control effects and the ability to enter Force Speed for a few seconds, with greatly increased movement rate.
- Try kiting a Bounty Hunter, who may have the ability to use their jetpack to catch up to you or use a grappling hook as well as good range with their blaster rifle.
- Try kiting Imperial Agents why may have a sniper rifle with long range equal or better than your own.
I have to admit - this sounds amazing. I have never liked the concept in WoW being stuck unable to have full movement while looking at another class that is picking me off.There's certainly the option to make use of environment/line of sight and advanced players will find that for example Warriors can be made miserable by a Smuggler dodging around in their dead zone (out of melee range, not yet in Force Charge range), hitting hard with the scatter gun (15m range) - but kiting overall in our game isn't simple due to the wide range of utility all classes have.
- A Smuggler can be a Medic, healing and supporting his allies.
- A Smuggler can be a marksman, entrenched in cover and decimating the enemy with devastating single target attacks.
- A Smuggler can be an explosives specialist, leaving craters and blown up Imperial squads in his wake.
- A Smuggler can be a stealthy mid range scrapper, approaching enemies unseen and hitting them hard with his scatter gun.
- A Smugger can be a daring risk taker, running and gunning into close range and finishing enemies with a few good kicks into places where it hurts.
- A Smuggler can be a Smuggler, delivering his group behind enemy lines unseen.
Well that's a damn good summary for us.
