The Rules of Engagement is the column that provides Republic Troopers with highly detailed intel on everything a Trooper needs to know to adapt and overcome on and off the battlefield.

Our resident Commando goes in-depth in discussing changes to the Advanced Class in Patch 1.2: Legacy

Earlier, I had given a review of the Trooper changes in Patch 1.2 concerning Combat Medics. This week I’d like to take a look at the Gunnery tree and analyze the changes we find there.

As before, let’s look at each change separately.

Charged Barrier now provides 1% damage reduction per stack

Pre-1.2: Provided 2% damage reduction per stack (5 stacks)
Change: 50% reduction in damage reduction (5% now vs 10% at 5 stacks)

Our resident Combat Medic goes in-depth in discussing changes to the Advanced Class in Patch 1.2: Legacy

In Patch 1.2, Medics face a change in their deployed abilities. Now that we’ve gotten our hands on the live patch, here is what we’ve found.

Let’s look at each change separately.

Earlier this week Dave, Andy, and Mike from Republic Trooper had the pleasure of hanging out with the gang from Galactic Public Radio as guests on their podcast “All Classes Considered.”

The topic of discussion was, of course, the Trooper Class and a lot of ground was covered in the discussion. Leveling, Storyline, Skill Trees, Healing, DPS, Tanking, PvP, Operations, and even going commando!

Nothing prepares a Trooper more for deployment than having the most up to date intelligence direct from the battlefield. If you’re looking for the latest and greatest Trooper intel, you’ve come to the right place.
