One of the cool things I think I am seeing in TOR is that you can have a group consisting 100% of one single class, yet that group still be viable. It seems that Troopers can be specked to Tank, Heal, and DPS. Likewise with Bounty Hunters, Jedi Consolers, Sith Inquisitors.
Smugglers, Imperial Agents, can’t officially tank, and Jedi Knights and Sith Warriors cannot officially heal. But the general theme is for most classes to be able to spec to fill multiple roles.
I can easily see a static group consisting 100% of troopers being totally viable. Furthermore I can see them RPing themselves by with official sounding group names such as the 449th lightning brigade or Task Force Rancor, etc.
I see this as a very notable aspect of the grouping gameplay. It allows people to play the clas they want and not necessarily be cast into certain roles or spam LF healer/tank in LFG chat. Could be a very nice thing indeed if Avian numbers in-game remain low (sidenote - I still hope to be part of a guild with large numbers, Avian+relations, or Avian members joining up with another large and well respected guild).
