Star Wars: The Old Republic Sarlacc Enforcer Class Unveiled

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday April 1, 2010 @10:58AM from the thinking-big dept.

Today BioWare unveiled the most impressive new class yet seen for their upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Sarlacc Enforcers are "paragons of patience and planning, always waiting for the right moment to pounce on their quarry – even if it takes one thousand years." Gamespot had an interview with the game's developers to get a clear picture on how such a unique and innovative class was designed. Quoting: "Well, this is a stealth class, so the soloing experience of the Sarlacc enforcer is going to be a little slow. [This character] spends a lot of time slowly sneaking into position before unleashing potent close-ranged attacks, such as 'devour.' But once exposed, the enforcer heavily relies on companion characters to lure enemies close, so he/it can unleash his/its close-ranged attacks. However, the enforcer shines in a group, especially when paired with a Jedi consular that can knock enemies toward him. At this point, the Sarlacc enforcer can use his/its powerful suite of damage-over-time abilities, like 'digest' and 'regurgitate.'"

Even better than being Main Tank! by lorenlal · 2010-04-01 11:10 · Score: 4, Funny

I was looking for something that would really open up the experience in MMOs. Looks like I found my class.
My mains have always been tanks, and it's sad depending huntards and suicidal rogues, and healers who think they're DPS. Now, I can peacefully wait for my quest targets to walk by or get pushed in by my pet Jedi... and PWNED.
Sweet.
