Smuggler progression video released

Seen here, check it out, enjoy it!

*Edit: HD version from youtube.


- Opens with a very Han Solo-esque Smuggler in a Han-ish outfit - blue jacket, brown pants, tearing it up with a single blaster.

 - Different outfit - brown jacket, black slacks, gunfighter belt.

- Dirty Kick with the hysterical 'Nut-Crunch' sound effect and a clearly audible high-pitched "YEOW!" is heard. I still love the "OW my balls!" stun animation.

- Smooth use of rolling into cover and tossing a charge at his target.

- Blaster kind of looks like a clunky hair dryer. But a dangerous hair dryer. With a scope on it.

- Charge detonates in a nice flash, Smuggler welcomes the big frog-dude back into the fight by violently pistol whipping him to the floor.

- The Scoundrel. His outfit now looks layered; he's got on a shoulderguard, black gloves, a utilitarian belt. Has one of those small Luger-looking popcap blasters seen in the Bounty Hunter video, except it looks a little larger and less laughable now.

- Launches something that pops a green cloud in that Bounty Hunter's face, putting the guy to sleep briefly. It looks almost like it was wrist-mounted, maybe he's just tossing something from under his sleeve?

- Sucker Punch! It's a left uppercut that you make with a "and stay down!" face.

- Some sort of cone AOE burst of blaster fire.

- Inquisitor shows up and spins his lightsaber around before getting dropped with a single shot. Lovely reference to Indiana Jones.

- Smuggler spins his blaster around to show off while holstering it. I want to do this in PVP, over your corpse.

- Another Scoundrel set of gear. Wearing a lot of white, so he's probably one of those rare, goody two-shoes Lightside Smugglers. Nice pimp cape. He's got on the Smuggler's pilot-type headgear - leather flying cap, goggles, earphones and a bandito facemask.

- Rolls into combat, uses his scattergun to blast an alien in the back. Again, we see the scattergun pulled off the back here and it looks like a pretty cool shotgun. Ver' sexy.

- Flash grenade to mez another alien, enters stealth (cool blue outline), looks like another vicious Blaster Whip that knocks a foe to the floor.
*Edit: What I originally thought was just another embellishment to make the Smuggler look cool is actually a reveal of a new ability. You can clearly see him throw a smoke bomb to stealth in combat, like a Rogue using Vanish.

This is the new WoW, same as the old WoW.

- Heals up an ally with a little probe droid. Almost forgot this guy can heal, too.

- Group stealth seen in action.



- The Gunslinger. Nice bomber jacket here, holstered belt. Two different blasters.

- Funny 'Surrender' detaunt animation, he drops pockets full of credits, brass knuckles, what looks like a lightsaber... and oh no, it was a trick! Bowdaar rushes in and clobbers a dude, knocking him across the room.

- Showy firing of the blasters, crossing them hand over hand. Possible channeled attack?

- Double blaster spin into holsters move with a little glowy green animation. Again, I will be doing this over your corpse in PVP. Enjoy the show.

- 2nd Gunslinger outfit - The cowboy outfit we've been seeing. Cowboy hat + bandit mask, bad-ass duster.

 

- That scene with the Smuggler running away from an army of enemies is another nod to Han. I laughed.

- Smuggler uses portable cover + his entrench skill to avoid any gap closers and then mows down his targets before they can touch him. You'll also notice that he slips his gun barrels into some sort of flaring gadgets.

- Closes with the awesome Smuggler recuperate animation, he tosses a coin into the air and blasts it with a quickdraw shot from the hip.
