The way combat styles will work is that every few levels, players will have one of the following occur:

• Receive a new ability
• Choose from 1 of 3 abilities
• Choose from 1 of 3 passives
• Choose from 1 of 3 passives or abilities

This allows us to streamline each class while ultimately retaining its original identity. Even though streamlining each combat style ultimately means paring down the overall quantity of abilities that every playstyle shares, our goal is that players will still be able to choose their favorite abilities and make more meaningful decisions around how they want to play and fulfill their gameplay fantasy.

Lets walk through what the Focus Jedi Guardians paths and choices look like today. Remember that this is all very initial and we expect this will change a lot between now and launch based on your feedback (so please share your thoughts). When choosing your Discipline you will get the option to select one of two defaulted sets of choices. "A" focuses on more offensive abilities while "B" will lean more on defense. Review the info below to see exactly which skills and passives you will receive based on your selection.
