In this SWTOR Smuggler guide, you will discover a complete guide to the Star Wars The Old Republic Smuggler class. We will start with an overview of the class, discuss the two advanced specializations, and then finally discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this class.
    SWTOR Smuggler Guide–Class Overview
    The SWTOR Smuggler is one of the four starting classes Republic players can choose in Star Wars The Old Republic. It is the Republic's corollary to the Imperial Agent, as both classes have similar base abilities and advanced specializations.
    The Smuggler is built around using a blaster pistol (for typical ranged attacks) and a scattergun (for special attacks) and gets access to a variety of abilities. To compare the Smuggler to other MMORPGs, the Smuggler is a Rogue/Thief type class, using tricks and taking advantage of cover to take its enemies by surprise.
    It is not much of a tanking class and cannot handle much damage, but it is capable of high damage if left alone or if you get the jump on your opponent.
    The Smuggler gets two very different advanced specializations: the Gunslinger and the Scoundrel. Since your advanced class choices are permanent, you will want to read the next part of this SWTOR Smuggler guide carefully so you can pick the right advanced class.
