Combat

From Star Wars: The Old Republic Wiki

Overview

Articles depicting combat let us know that each class will have its own style. For example the Smuggler class will also have a cover system implemented, and the Bounty Hunter will be able to utilize its jet pack in various ways. We have yet to see on such things as "Threat" systems and others.
