no its not... Dude you are clueless... Switching from a Holy paladin to a retribution paladin is like a Mercenary going from Body guard to Pyrotech. What you want is the same as a paladin going to a warrior.

Well by the logic of advance classes sharing a few abilities, you're pretty much saying ALL classes in every MMO is a "spec" as they all have the basic "hit" ability

no theres abilities that only TROOPERS get, regardless if they pick vanguard or commando, that no other base class can get. your twisting up what im saying, all troopers, doesnt matter vanguard or commando, there still troopers, how is that any different then classes being treated in any other game?

Why are we comparing TOR to WoW anyway? Different games and the rule of one should not affect the other.... WoW may be the bad boy at one time, but so was the Model T. Competition, fueled ideas, ideas turned into production, and thus, things changed and improved. Yes, CHANGE.... is i such a very scary word, right?

Why does a MMO all have to be the same? TOR gave us stories with voice acting, was that bad? Did the sky fall because BW did something not in a AAA MMO before?

So, will the MMO gods strike down BW if they enacted AC changes? If so tell me, so I can hide under my desk.....

There are abilities that only Vanguards get , no matter what spec, ALL vanguards get that ability. Commondo's do NOT get those abilities. How is that different than classes being treated in any other game?

Because they are both still troopers, theres certain abilities retribution paladins get for being ret that other paladins dont get.

Ret is a spec not a class. There are only things an Advanced Prototype Powertech get. You are comparing a spec in wow to a class in tor. You are wrong, please tell us intelligent people what it will take for you to understand that.

Firstly, I am not twisting anything. Your argument is based on shared abilities. I might also point out that all classes have a shared ability of a stun breaker, and a out of combat self rejuvenation. Speeder skills are a shared ability across the table. Just because some abilities are a little more exclusive, it does not mean the classes that share them are specs.

As for your question, because the trooper is NOT the class. The Vanguard is a class, and so is the Commando. You know this is the case. It has been explained very clearly to you multiple times on two different threads.

What makes you think your the intelligent one in this argument? If BW allows AC changing, does that mean your not intelligent anymore?
