Combat profs will also be able to use melee...






Yeah but to what extent? Will it just be butt-strokes and pistol-whips, with a few knees and elbows throw into the animation? Devs haven't stated clearly, however, ugh if I weren't lazy I'd get the link, Tiggs or Thunderheart said something about Bounty Hunters using Carbines, Commandos using Heavy Weapons, Smugglers using Pistols, Officers using Rifles. Etc. etc. etc.


How melee is worked in, I dunno. We'll just have to wait and see.


Honestly, I've been playing since day 1 and when I first discovered there were melee classes in the game I was scratching my head. I groaned as more and more melee came to dominate the entire game, PvP, PvE, everything. It's a good day now that we're moving toward ranged. Let's play a Star Wars game, not a hack-and-slash with a neat customization system for an MMO.

I can see a BH maybe, MAYBE, pulling out a pair of brass-knuckles, a knife, or a stun baton to take down a target in close-quarters.


But I really do hope they don't let us run around wielding all the old swords, pikes, etc. as Bounty Hunters. CHEESY.


Luckily, my guess it will also be RARE, because, frankly, if someone pulls a sword out on me now, I'll just kite the heck out of them. What, stand there like a moron and go toe-to-toe? Puh-lease!
