BioWare has revealed the two Advanced Class specialisation that will be available to Jedi Knights in its MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Found at the Jedi Knight's page on the official Old Republic website, the two sepcialisation are Guardian and Sentinel.

The Guardian seems to be a tank class - "a wall between the good people of the Republic and their enemies" - capable of "smooth movement even in heavy armour" and "inspiring allies to amazing feats".

The Sentinel is a dual-lightsaber-wielding damage-dealer who can "see holes in the enemy defense, potential flaws in their own technique and how best to plan for both".

The Jedi Knight's specialisation set-up therefore mirrors that of its opposite number the Sith Warrior, whose Juggernaut tank and Marauder damage-dealer were the first Advanced Classes to be revealed.

The Old Republic is due for release on PC in spring 2011.
