The Smuggler class will be a light armor one which, like all the other classes in the game, will have their own story arc in SWTOR. The MMORPG’s official website explains: “Faced with choosing an allegiance in these uncertain times, Smugglers have been forced to consider the implications of trying to operate under the tight controls imposed by the Sith Empire. Though never the most patriotic members of Republic society, many Smugglers have decided that siding with the Republic is siding with freedom, and of course, freedom is everything.”
Although the details on this class were not complete (probably), we still saw some combat tactics in which the Smugglers were shown targeting multiple enemies, causing distractions and generally looking lively and agile.
