Gunslinger is badass....but nothing compares to being all sneaky and then shotgunning someone in the back...and then punching them in the face.

Yes it does look badass, and so does the scoundrel, but I'll be sticking with my original choice of gunslinger. I tried a bit of the Imperial Agent during the Thanksgiving weekend beta and I didn't really have a problem with the cover system, I got used to it quickly.
But having the scoundrel being able to be like a rogue with a shotgun is awesome too, I could actually see myself possibly making two smugglers at some point during the games lifespan, I'll probably save that though for whenever they add new races to the game and then decide from there.
I like that gunslingers not only use the akimbo blasters, but that since they're energy weapons it's semi-realistic that you actually could dual wield pistols accurately - unlike say, 2x desert eagles tipped sideways like a G picking off guys 50 yards away.
Mercs too. In fact, Mercs have one up on gunslingers in my book because not only do they have dual wield blasters, they can use them to shoot magic healing lasers!
smuggler is the best class i think
I love the sniper (empire conterpart), but I wish it also had a second role next to DPS. All the mechanics are great, I am seriously considering playing one as a main. I just wish I could heal or tank if I wanted to switch it up.
I was sceptical about smuggler after last beta, but got another chance to play this weekend and he grew on me. Scoundrel is definitelly on top of my list next to Sage.
