Thread: Funny Stuff
this was in another thread. I mentioned it the other day and figured since testing is almost here (day or two away) then if this is true what harm can it do.
it is supposed to be the rest of the profession breakdown for ch in the curb doc's, the part that came after the sections on tanking and crowd control being defined by pets.
again I have no proof this is real, it could very well be an attempt to cause dissention on the forums.
if it is true then we should all start planning for a publish and thinking about what we can add to our profession in whatever areas are relevent.
The Creature Handler was a very difficult profession to determine the
proper role for. Throughout the history of the game Creature Handlers
roles and abilities have shifted quite a bit. We will protect the role
of Creature Handler and make sure that they are balanced and have a
solid position, however historically we know that many people become
upset when a is required for a key primary role like tanking.
Because of this reason we felt that it would be ideal to allow Creature
Handlers to be the jack-of-all-trades and have their actual role in a
group be defined by their pets. Depending on the abilities of the pet
called would determine the role that the Creature Handler can fulfill in
the group. We do recognize that right now only minimal specialization
of pet abilities is possible through Bio-Engineer Cloning. We plan on
enhancing Creature Handler taming and training abilities so that a
Creature Handler can shift a growing pet's abilities to better fulfill
a tank, damage dealing to crowd control role, however this task will not
be able to fit within the scope of the initial Combat Upgrade publish.
P.S.
If this is true then and you dont see me post for a while then I will probably have been banned. Its worth the risk lol.
