Smuggler Abilities List
The Smuggler's abilities are listed below in three sections; the first set of abilities is available to all Smugglers. At level 10, the Smuggler must choose an Advanced Class, the Gunslinger or Scoundrel. Talents for both AC's can be seen here.
The primary attribute for the Smuggler is Cunning. Cunning increases the damage and critical chances of the Smuggler's Ranged and Tech powers. This remains so for both the Gunslinger and the Scoundrel Advanced Classes, while the Scoundrel's Cunning additionally increases the effectiveness of healing powers.

The information listed below is incomplete, and is subject to change at any time. It is gathered from a variety of sources; see links of the front page. The damage numbers listed in the various descriptions should not be relied upon, as they are dependent on level, gear and other factors (different sets of numbers were taken from screenshots of characters of different level, so they often don't match up). Also, some attributes such as costs, cooldowns and durations may be affected by talent choices. If you see something that is missing or incorrect, feel free to correct me.
