Over at DarthHater.com you will find a short article and dissection of the recently revealed 'Designing the Dark Side' video from SWTOR.com


'After a brief holiday vacation, our dissection of the Star Wars: The Old Republic ‘Designing the Dark Side’ video is now online. We unfortunately cannot credit anyone for the first finds as we did not create the usual thread on the forum for the dissection. We will continually add in new discoveries as we find them, so make sure to keep checking this post. Note: things we mentioned in prior dissections, we do not revisit again in this one. Dissection complete with our Orange Boxes after the jump....

....The first of the images involves facial customization that we saw in our trip to LucasArts. It seems to confirm, at least on the player characters, that we will have similar customization options in the game....'

Some interesting points there, especially like the picture with the 7 Inquisitor skills, looks like it will be a fun class to play  MrGreen
Though I am a bit concerned by the amount of stuns the class have:
Whirlwind 15 sec stun (breaks on damage)
Electrocute 6 sec stun
Lightning Drain 6 sec channelled stun (assume it breaks if the caster is hit)
Discharge 4 sec stun
And all of these spells are instant cast, and if the target breaks from your stun chain just pop the 50% damage resistance shield and wait for CDs^^
To me that looks very imbalanced and it would seem that the Inqusitor is a class you rather run away from than engage in PvP  Tongue
Kinda reminds me of the old stun lock build on my rogue back in WoW, only there the target had no way of running before I engaged them  Wink

Oh and Dark Gift heal yourself or an ally, with a 1.5 cast and no CD it would look like a very viable healing spell. Assuming it does heal for a decent amount of HP.

The Lightning Drain is so OP... Does damage, gets you your force back and stuns... They should make it so it rains cookies after you kill someone with it... Inquisitors get hungry too... Smiley

a great review of the video - the bit that has got me excited - "SHIP LOCATION"

/crosses fingers and hopes for proper starship  travel rather than loading screen

it really bugs me that from what we've seen so far the inquisitor will be forced into a doublebladed lightsaber Cry

Yeah atm it sadly looks like PvP will be one huge CC fest :/
Tough I have enough faith in biowares game making skills and believe they will come up with something workable in the end. But as long as the PvE is good I could not care less about PvP imbalance  Tongue
