IGN Exclusive: Bounty Hunter Class Video and Q&A

It seems that this time around, IGN has been rewarded with a sneak-peak at what is undoubtedly part of this Friday’s official update – the Bounty Hunter Class Video!

We speculate that this also means the Bounty Hunter class page will be getting its long-overdue makeover this week as well.

The video showcases some pretty cool combat abilities, some we’ve seen before but also some new ones. Of particular interest was the way that characters seem to react to knockbacks or explosions… more natural and varied than I recall from earlier videos.

Also, Tusken Raiders!

In addition, there’s also a brand new Q&A with Daniel Erickson and Georg Zoeller:

IGN: As development continues, would you be able to provide any details as to how the Bounty Hunter’s changed? How have his primary skills evolved and what tend to be the most effective skills once a large amount has been unlocked?

Zoeller: Here are some examples of recent changes to the class: the introduction of the Bodyguard skillset which adds a healing and support role to the class [and] the addition of talent choices to create synergy between blasters and tech attacks. There aren’t really ‘most effective’ skills for any class, as what is effective varies between encounters, different builds and whether or not you are in a group or not.
