Hi all. Is there a force class or spec that has a combination of range and melee? If not, would you like to see one? There are already characters that combine the skills of multiple classes (Malgus, Satele Shan, Valkorion, etc....), so implementing them should not be impossible. What if we had an Assassin/Shadow - Sorc/Sage hybrid, or even a Sorc/Sage- Jug/Guardian (force lightning-Vengeful Slam combo anyone?). I know that it's highly improbable and that the devs have said before that the chances of new classes are slim, but since it relies on existing animations, it would seem to me that they only need to be tweaked to fit a new class.

 

What do you think?

jedi shadow serenity spec and sith assassin hatred spec do a little of both

Back in the day (before 4.0) all inquisitors had force lightning.

 

Abilities were streamlined in 4.0, so new players wouldn't be confused by abilities that are a mainstay of one spec but just a flavour gimmick for another. So Sorcs lost Thrash, Assassins lost Force Lightning, Mercs lost Flamethrower, Powertechs lost Unload etc. Little chance those abilities will ever come back, let alone be made viable.

 

That said, Hatred Assassin has a mix of melee and 10m range abilities similar to Lethality and PTs, maybe worth a try.

So that's why I remembered that there was something like that. I had a big break from the game (5-6 years) and I felt something was off/different about the classes... guess that's why
