Ultimately which one of is right, if either, can't be discerned until we get a dev comment. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing one just to put an end to this debate, or at least the portion on where it stands on the wall of crazy.

Until such a time, though, I plan to recuse myself form further discussion. No point in going over the same ground more than 8 times, I say.

The only method I believe should be possible is switching between your current class' ACs. IE, a Marauder can become a Jug as a means to possibly change from a DPS to run something like a tank, but there is no reason a Marauder should have the ability to reroll as a Powertech or a Sorcerer.

This way, you actually free people into being able to experience the three different roles in the game without forcing them to reroll a toon, except for Agents that lack a tank spec in their ACs. And at the same time, prevent ludicrous scenarios occurring, such as Marauders rerolling as Snipers because of the meta being ranged DPS and Sniper capabilities.

Bioware, check this post.

Any chance a dev can drop here and tell us whats up its the year 2014.

It's page 468. At this point, you shouldn't need a dev reply to understand the answer.
Now back to playing the game instead of finding ways around it.

SWTOR isn't the only game in town. People play games to have fun. The devs should give some sort of answer here. I know they are busy dealing with Cartel Coins and gambling packs but this is a pretty big thread and it doesn't seem to be going away.

They HAVE said and they have said NO. AC = Class = Fixed.

but nice backhand jab at the CM which has done tremendous changes to this game.

I wonder why you continue to play and support this game if you feel it is nothing more than a greedy cash grab feeding the weak minded gambling addicted players.

They've also said yes to ac swapping (more than once). And to that dev that said "AC = Class" - that wasn't and isn't a reason to disallow ac swapping, just a guy selling a game to people that like big numbers (16 classes sounds better than 4). it never ceases to amaze me how some people fly around with random dev quotes as if they are some sort of prophetic commandments. In game documentation and the help guides on this site don't equate acs with classes as the word is used in other games.
