Trooper Abilities List

The Trooper's abilities are listed below in three sections; the first set of abilities is available to all Troopers. At level 10, the Trooper must choose an Advanced Class, the Vanguard or Commando. The Vanguard can spec to tank or DPS, and the Command can spec to DPS or heal. Talents for both AC's can be seen here.

The primary attribute for the Trooper is Aim. Aim increases the damage and critical chances of the Trooper's Ranged and Tech powers. This remains so for both the Commando and the Vanguard Advanced Classes, while the Commando's Aim additionally increases the effectiveness of healing powers.

Resource: Energy Cells

Recently called "Ammunition," the trooper's resource now seems to be called "Energy Cells." I suspect it recharges during combat like a WoW Rogue's Energy, but I'm not certain.

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.
