Smuggler Advanced Classes:

• Gunslinger (Roles: Mid - Long Range Damage Dealing, wields dual pistols)
• Scoundrel (Roles: Close - Mid Range Damage Dealing, Healing, wields scatter gun)

Jedi Knight Advanced Classes:

• Jedi Sage (Roles: Mid-Long Range Damage Dealing, Healing)

Bounty Hunter Advanced Classes:

• Mercenary (Roles: Mid - Long Range Damage Dealing, Healing)
• PowerTech (Roles: Close - Mid Range Damage Dealing, Tanking)

Sith Warrior Advanced Classes:

Most classes can Tank except Imperial Agents, and Smugglers.
Most classes can heal except Jedi Knights and Sith Warriors.
