SWTOR Trooper Class Review
Star Wars the Old Republic MMO is here, and yes they have other classes
available to play other than Jedi's or Sith. One of these classes is the Trooper. I'm
going to give you a quick SWTOR Trooper class review so you can see if they might
fit your play style.
The Trooper is an elite Special Forces combat machine. They wear heavy armor
and use heavy firepower to overwhelm their opponents. There isn't much
sneaking around or mystical powers of the force for the Trooper, instead they use
powerful blaster rifles, two-handed cannons, and grenades to charge head-long
into battle and take it to the enemy.
When you play with the Trooper you have 2 advanced classes to choose from, the
Commando and the Vanguard.
The Commando is the main DPS spec and can also be used for healing. Their
primary weapons are Heavy Blaster Cannons and Grenades. They have 2 primary
skill trees, Gunnery and Combat Medic.
Gunnery:
Focuses on maximizing your cannons destructive power.
Combat Medic:
Gives the Commando the ability to heal in small groups and off-heal in larger
groups.
The Vanguard is the defensive (Tank) spec. Their primary weapons are Blaster
Rifles and Energy Shields. They have 2 primary skill trees, Tactics and Shield
Specialist.
Tactics:
Teaches the Vanguard how to more effectively deal with close range combat.
Shield Specialist:
Focuses on enhancing shield generators to absorb more damage and protect
allies.
The Commando and Vanguard share the Assault Specialist tree. These skills
increase grenade range and add explosives to your arsenal.

also go on missions. The Troopers Companions are:
