* = Name may not be right
AI = Additional Information

As always: PLEASE HELP me to get all the new information and correct me if Im wrong. Thanks!

*I am aware of this post, but it is not fact based and it coveres a wider spectrum of the smuggler (e.g. roleplaying), and its not as detailed as this post.*

Interesting info. The cover system seems very groundbreaking and will definitely cause me to try out smuggler.

I believe they also have some sort of "stealth" ability similar to a rogue in wow. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm in full agreement about the cover system being groundbreaking. It's good that BioWare is taking new steps to making the strategy challenging and the ranged classes different.
