Alrighty, as most of you are no doubt aware, things are shaping up with the CU. A series of new documents and posts have been released, the documents give pretty much all the info you need to know on changes to game systems until you can actually sink your teeth into the testing (should you be so inclined).
If you're interested in what's happening with the testing process, check out Thunderheart's post.
To view the documents clickity here (I suggest you read through them all, as there's some interesting stuff there, but if you're eager to see the Smuggler's role first, go to this page).
When the CU hits Test Center the more people on there actually testing things out, the better. If you're up for it, all the help you can give will do good towards the end result of the CU.
Regardless, please go to each In Concept thread and post your initial thoughts and feedback 
- Combat Upgrade Overview
- Core Combat Changes
- Health-Action-Mind and the Combat Interface
- Armor System
- Character Healing and Related Profession Changes
- Combat and Artificial Intelligence
- Profession Roles Overview

I suppose that Smugglers, oops, Mezzers, will get a Bard skill tree to replace Spices with nice soothing songs they can play during the battle to put the enemies to sleep and such new exciting things.

Neither the abilities that we're getting, northe role we've been assigned in the CU will affect, hinder or replace/remove our slicing and planned Smuggling abilities; remember, all that was planned with the knowledge of what was in the CU.
Smugglers have mez (mesmerise) abilities and some offensive abilities; for me, this fits with the idea that Smugglers want to play dirty and rough so they can get the heck out of a situation and go deliver their cargo. Whether we have sufficient ability to warrant the relative numbers assigned, remains to be seen, but from what I hear, Smuggler's something fun and useful to have as part of your combat template .

Apologies if I missed it but I didn't see anything in the new documents detailing what the new profession reqs for Smuggler will be. I saw that we are a CC class now, which I actually enjoy so Im not to torn up about that. I am actually excited about these changes to the game (although still quite irritated at the lack of info on the smugg revamp) so I will definately be on TC checking them out and helping to test. Anyways, back to my original point, what are the new prereqs for smuggler in the CU?
Thanks!

As far as I know, the profession requirements remain the same.
Edit: Er, as in, OUR profession requirements

At launch we always had a doc in our combat group for heals and rez's. When armor and buffs got out of hand.. doc's were made into street corner buffers.. with no need to be brought on hunts or anything.
