Can't wait to see what this actually looks like...

I loved it when they got rid of skill trees in WoW, and I love it here.

Can't wait to see in how many ways this will break PvP

I hope this won't come with a dumb-down.. I like the rotations we have.. They are easy but maximizing them still needs some work. I hope the utility points will actually be useful and allow for a numbers of variations and not just one for PvP and one for PvE.

And between.. With this new system.... I hope you plan to make so we can have more than 22 toons on a single server

Seems like a promising concept. Looking forward to the number crunchers telling us the best way to allocate, just like they can now.

Sounds very promising. I dig it so far.

Things like this make or break a game. Let's see how it pans out.

 

I hope it's not lowering the skill level of the players themselves by making things easy.

This is absolutely massive. I am incredibly excited to see how this impacts the game.

I finally get my Jugg to the point i really am having fun again playing the class and now your about to take it from me and make me start over. Whats next you'll tell us to get some of those skills it will cost us REAL MONEY Cartel Coins BW likes to call it.

 

If that is the case, this may be the straw that finally breaks this PLAYERS Back....

My thoughts exactly. And I knew this would happen eventually. It is a natural evolution.

I assume we will get a Skill reset with this. So with that in mind will I be able reset my Sorcerer into a shadow tank? Edited October 6, 2014 by akdonkey

So, they are dumbing down the skill trees just like WoW . Guess I need to start looking for my next game to move to.

If that's what you got out of this, then yes, you probably do.

This could be super awesome or terribly bad depending on how it's implemented. I'm cautiously optimistic though! Excited to hear about the details!

You guys don't need to steal all of WoW's bad ideas.

It is.. if it doesn't come to also dumbing down the rotations and specs. Sure it wil destroy the hybrids.. I can live with it. But if it makes every single spec simple to focus guardian level.. I'm off to a better game.

What the hell are you gibbering about chicken little?

RIP Hybrids

Sounds awesome, I just hope there's something for pvp as well.

Cautiously excited for this. Major overhaul to class balance that has actually reached a decent place after nearly 3 years. I hope they get it close to right quickly. I'm sure there will be growing pains, but I hope they're minimal.

Thankfully this should improve PvP matchmaking because it will probably stop hybrids.

Statement: Would be nice if I could actually view it.

I'm curious to see how it plays out. But one of my big concerns is, what does it do to make it easier/harder to switch roles. I'm sure we've all been there, on a flashpoint, we need a healer, someone could do a field respec into healer and it takes forever - and what I've wanted most of all is a way to store two specs and make it easy to flip between them.
