Through swtor_potato, one of SWTOR's two dataminers, we find out about potential class changes, which could take place in update 4.0 (release of the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion).
Keep in mind that all this remains hypothetical, swtor_potato used a loophole to force the update of the PTS client, which is currently not open. All these changes are therefore not at all guaranteed to be in play. Also, don't forget that this 4.0 will be accompanied by quite a few changes to the mechanics, so the evolutions of powers can have a completely different context. than currently.
Please take all of this into account when commenting and relativizing.
