ETA on Advanced Class change?

I'm of mixed feelings on that...

on one hand, having rerolled my shadow as sage and losing all the unlocks I bought on her, not to mention - a loyalty pet, i could have used that AC change - if only to have an opportunity to keep those no longer available rewards.

on the other hand, I personally wouldn't want it to become something easily and constantly done.

one time use or very long cooldown and a relatively high cost, I think I could live with.

Don't you mean we'll have to hear it every time someone wants something else handed to them for little or no effort?

This is the suggestion that I had made.

Reselect advanced class - Only allowed when class story is concluded. All points are naturally refunded.

It would cost CC to use, have a 15 day cooldown and all of your current gear would be removed from your toon. This way you could not sport heavy gear in a class that uses medium, etc.

Dual spec - Allowed when you choose your spec onward, but open use is only allowed after you conclude your class story.

Before your story conclusion dual spec would be restricted to use inside heroics, flashpoints, operations and warzones UNLESS the groupfinder tool allows you a free spec swap while qued to fill missing roles. It would be a permanent unlock feature, allowing you to save a particular setup...it saves point allocation and bar locations of specials but not gear setup. it would have a one hour cooldown, and would cost either EC or CC.

After conclusion of your storyline you are unlocked to spec swap any time you wish.

Get your logic out of this forum! Seriously though, without taking a stance on the issue, I wanted to take a minute to commend you for calmly and cogently presenting a reasonable question, appropriately sourced, and patiently not sinking to the level of the trolls and "die n00bs die" l33ts.

Such as well might happen or be true; probable.

I hereby call you out on consistently trolling a variety of threads, general rudeness, and an overall lack of helpful or positive posts relative to your substantial player-directed negativity.

reselect advanced class as you described it? yeah i could live with that personally, minus the whole gear removal deal (because some of us wear adoptive gear with some of that adoptive gear being rare and expensive) although. I would still prefer it if it was a one time only change.

when you say dual spec - do you mean AC switch, or just saving presets for different setups within single advanced class?

if its first? no, i wouldn't like that at all and I hope they don't implement it that way. in part because it removes the gravity of making advance class choice in a first place, increases gear bloat (and potentially loot drama), and last but not least makes it even more likely that you run into people who are essentially ballast as they can neither play their class properly, not have the correct stats for it.

if its the second - then it would be nice, as long as current functionality of being able to switch talents whenever you want to whatever you want (aka field respec) is also preserved.

switching AC's is not like switching from playing WoW warrior to priest, since there are a lot of abilities, especially early ones that are shared between AC's, but its closer to that then switching between shadow and holy (which is what current field respec is, essentially)

When you repeat it like that, without actually refuting it, it just makes that argument seem even stronger.

yeah and you prove how simple minded you are... they said for Mekeb there were no class stories, they never said that there wouldn't be any in future content.

are you honestly that simple? that one new planet doesn't involve a class story it means they are over forever?

i hope this never happens.

Since you seem to have a fondness for definitions, try this one:

Laziness-an aversion to work or effort.

This is the true predominate reason for wanting class changes, is it not?
