Alorus_Wolf Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Any possiblity of making it so that when players select their second combat style the can have the option of merging the two styles rather than either swapping between one or the other or just stick to the one style? Cause honestly when i read about the whole choosing a class such as the sith warrior and giving him access to light side abilities i thought it was going to be a merge of the two classes not musical chair of combat style. If we must swap atleast give us a keybind to change class on the fly mid combat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xordevoreaux Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 You'd be basically creating new classes at that point, a whole new set of math to support the combined classes. Would make for very convoluted skill trees indeed to mix a jedi consular with a sin tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point, to mix a *Sage* with a sin tank. 6 hours ago, Alorus_Wolf said: Cause honestly when i read about the whole choosing a class such as the sith warrior and giving him access to light side abilities i thought it was going to be a merge of the two classes not musical chair of combat style. Not sure why you thought that. What they said was *very* clearly not what you thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felleto Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I was actually thinking about this the other day, and I think this would be an awesome idea. To be able to combine the two classes you pink into one by choosing and customizing it the way you want it to be. I know it would require an immense effort from the developers but I think it would be a wonderful idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it would require an immense effort from the developers but I think it would be a wonderful idea It would be beyond merely "immense", and would have an ongoing cost that they rejected in a fairly definitive fashion with the release of Disciplines in 3.0. Specifically, I'm talking about the ongoing cost of rebalancing weird hybrid builds, except in spadish spades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felleto Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I mean all the skills are already there. They just need to figure out a way to make we choose which skill we want for our character. Let's suppose my character was first a jedi guardian that then fell to the dark side and now is a juggernaut. The skills these classes posses are extremely similar, we would just need an interface that would let us customize what skills from which class we get allowed to pick. For instance, force stasis or force choke. It's just a matter of cosmetic choice at a certain point. Also, every skill fits a certain utility: Stuns, aoes, knockbacks etc. I would love to see this achieved some day because it would bring a new level of uniqueness and customization to each character. Also, if we could mix tech users and force users that would be awesome too haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An option to choose which side each ability of a general style is from, but without editing the basic list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceguy Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Not possible. This would cause a major imbalance, and of course, the PVP community would riot that other people had too good of class builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
