Knowing that you can soak quite some damage tends to make you keep your calm in the middle of a fight.
Yep. Trooper also has a fairly interesting questline in my opinion. I've played through all the class stories (I have 8x50 characters in TOR) and it's definitely one of the better ones. My overall favourite story is probably Imperial Agent, while I prefer the gameplay of Guardian/Juggernaught, Assassin/Shadow and Marauder/Sentinel. I'm simply something of a melee guy.
