Let’s talk about classes. Specifically, let’s talk about Force-using and Non-Force using classes. It’s my guess that you will log into the game and select Republic or Sith for your character’s faction. Let’s assume Republic for this example.
Your class choices are:
Jedi Guardian (Nuker)
Jedi Consular (Healer)
Jedi Sentinel (Tank)
Mandalorian Supercommando (Nuker)
Medical Droid (Healer)
Republic Soldier (Tank)
Can you see what I’ve done there? I’ve offered a Force using and a non-Force using of each of the Holy Trinity of classes. I’ve also bad a bit of fun by saying the non-Force using Medic could be a Medic droid (as there’s an insane number of people who want to play droids), but really, you could insert any sort of specialist healer there.
Now, does that make a number of assumptions about the game? Of course. I don’t deny that. Even the concept of having the Holy Trinity involved is an assumption. But we have to start somewhere and it’s my belief that the game isn’t just about Sith and Jedi (ie: we already know there’s a non-Force using Soldier class), so what I’ve proposed there is possible, to my mind.
At the end of the day, I think playing a Mandalorian Supercommando would be a cool alternative to a nuker Jedi. I think playing a Medical Droid would be a cool alternative to a healing Jedi. And I think playing a Republic Soldier would be a cool alternative to playing a Jedi tank. And that’s what the devs will be wanting to provide, right? Cool alternatives, so that not everyone is a Jedi or Sith?
