The parade of Star Wars: The Old Republic class changes marches on, with BioWare thrusting the Powertech and Vanguard advanced roles into the spotlight — and revealing the very deadly toys that they will get when Onslaught launches this month.
Both roles are getting the Power Yield ability to augment their functions as front-line tanks in operations and flashpoints. This gives a hefty bump to armor and damage, especially when the Powertech as a tank is getting pounded on during a fight.
BioWare also shared previews of the new set bonuses for both classes. There are a few of these, each sporting a different tactical bonus, such as the Plasmatech’s increased critical chance or the Advanced Prototype’s ability to cause thermal detonators to explode on enemies.
