Well, I know what role I am looking forward to:
TKM/MCommando
I know, I know, you are saying that this has been available to us for a long time, but look at it now:
Hard to hit, tough melee defensies, plus the versatility of being able to deal out damage to a variety of enemies. Talk about your behind the lines havoc causer. Man, the chaos you could cause if you were able to flank a group with that template. Kinda like a guy out of a Clancey novel.
Looking again at the post I referenced we talked about 3 combat "roles":
vehicle/turret buster: Commando/Rifleman (versatility and long range "nuking" capability)
behind eneny lines, generally up close, like shotgunner: Commando/TK (see above)
front lines trooper: Commando/Smuggler or Commando/Carbineer (power and crowd control)
Yes, there is still a lot to learn (especially the new skill boxes), but the potential in this is absurd.

No complaints here with regard to changes. I welcome ANY change. I just can't wait to check them out.
Folks on the GCW and my WH server forums are moaning about the EQ look-a-like combat. I haven't played EQ, but to me this new combat system seems like a great idea. I'm ready to test.

The armor certification issue and the plan that Imperial Assault/Recon armor helmets can only we worn by Humans and Zabraks gives me a lot of concern. As a Trandoshan Imperial Commando, I'm not going to be able to protect my scaly head with the armor certification that I earn from being a commando.
This is a TREMENDOUSLY impacting issue if SOE does not allow a respec of the SPECIES as well as the skills. I would be limited to either using less effective armor, risking getting my head blown off, having to surrender commando and go a different route, or having to start over with a new toon and grinding massively.
It's a change of the rules after the start of the game. Does SOE have any plans to address this, because we have a number of non-human non-zabrak commandos that will be denied use of some of our certified armor resulting from this plan.
Thanks
I wouldn't worry, the only thing the trandoshan head is incompatible with is the graphical design of the imperial helmet. You can still wear the ones that fit trando heads, and they'll have the same stats and abilities. Just order it in white!

EQ is horrible. Will not be playing that style, so I hope its better. I too am ready to test
