The final Star Wars: The Old Republic class page is up and features the Sith Inquisitor. We're pretty certain BioWare has a winner here, because it's difficult to go wrong with a person that can cast copious amounts of force lightning. If you weren't aware of that fact, the new screenshots released alongside the class page will correct that problem quite immediately.
Not only does the Inquisitor wield the iconic lightning blast regularly, it also incorporates the ability into just about every other attack. When stunning an enemy with a force tornado, why not throw a little lightning in to jazz things up a bit? In fact, why not charge a lightsaber with lightning and call it good? The more we hear about this class, the more it's beginning to appeal to our sense of wanting to lay waste to everything in sight with lightning from our fingertips.

DarthHater.com also noticed the newsletter has an image+text that says next week will be a reveal of another new planet. I wonder what it will be. :)
And on-topic, I LOVE the lighting on the Trooper's armor from the lightning in this topic's pic. If it wasn't obvious before, then it's obvious now: this game is doing A LOT to look good beyond its art style. That sort of lighting would look good in a FPS, so it's especially striking here.

I didn't notice that before you pointed it out, neat.
Although, the ground or the body to the left does not show any increase in glow or brightness.
It'll look pretty weird if just the person it's aimed at lights up like a christmas tree if they were in a group.

I'm looking forward to this game, mainly because there isn't another mmorpg worth playing right now. However the sad thing is, I know it wont be for me because I'm looking for a game like SWG Pre CU. So I just know I'll be disappointed but the MMOer in me just keeps hope they'll have a rich crafting system with seamless worlds and a harsh death penalty so combat is more exciting knowing you could go backwards.

Lore-differences aside, I wish the ground battles in STO looked this interesting.
