Well, I'm not sure about a full write up (although I think there were a few Friday Features covering the combat upgrade early in the year), but I can help with at least one poitn of confusion:

Any special attack can be done with any weapon of the same general "class" (melee or ranged). So if you learn Head Hit in Swordsman, you can execute that special attack with any melee weapon: 2-handed, 1-handed, polearm, or unarmed. If you learn Burst Shot in Pistoleer, you can use that with any ranged weapon: pistol, rifle, carbine, or commando heavy weapon.

I've played SWG since the third phase beta. I left Galaxies about a month or so after the Jedi revamp when the village became live. I've recently re-activated and now being the third day back, I find myself totally lost. lol So many things different with just about everything. I'm very proud that they have added TONS, I mean TONS of various content since I left. My questions are mainly due to various attacks per profession. In the old days, You used to get attacks due to the profession you were. That still happens im assuming but being a TKM, I now can use a sword attack with out a sword? Im in a middle of playing around with them but that kinda through me for a loop. For instance a head hit of which a unarmed brawler or tkm never had, But a one-hand sword brawler did have. You used to not be able to use that skill due to not equiping a one-hand sword. Is this correct? It would be a HUGE plus if the descriptions of the various attacks for the various skills, would say what its used for. I beleive it used too. The new icons are nice and pretty, but they make it very confusing when the old icons actually let you know what they were used for. A hand for unarmed, a single blade for one-hand sword and a dual blade icon for 2-hand sword etc..
Is there a write up somewhere that might shed some light on this subject for me? Thanks a ton y'all.
