Dancer Archive

I'm only asking since TC5 is constantly loading for me, which I suspect means I've lost my chance to try my respec before time.

Having tried out the new interface etc with a new character, my inclinations to keep a combat character on SWG have vanished completely, it feels like CoH without the superhero theme. That said I love city of heroes, but I want to keep my play experience between teh two different.

So my master dancer/master swordsman template is going in the bin, to be replaced by the RP friendly dancer/musician/ID combo. My only question is, can I respec my current swordsman levels over into ID/musician? or will I have to sacrifice all my skills and regrind?

May thanks to anyone who knows.

Well, TC5 did come up, so I did I full test. Seems if I do want to keep my combat stuff I'd better sac my artisan skills well beforehand. Full report posted to testing thread.

Oh, I'm already entertainer, and nothing on earth is going to persuade me to give up ability to shake my booty

I was going to be Master Dancer, 4040 musician and Master swordsman, but it seems my combat skills will suck so much I may as well give them up completely and get master musician and ID instead. All my normal hunting group are leaving, and I'll suck way too much to get invites to a random group.

Guess I'd better go grab my kloo and get tooting since I can't respec.

Since against all promises from SOE starsider did not make it to any of the TestCenters, I wasn't able to test conversation myself.
So I have no clue how it works.

Can anyone here tell me, best dummy-proof?

Right now i'm:
TKM, Master Dancer, Master Entertainer, Musician 0020. After the CU i'll be 11 points too short with that template, so whats going to happen?

It's a pretty clear UI. They root you in place if you have a negative skill point balance (you will) and you have to respec. This is how it was last time I saw it.

This happened to me, you should also note that you _can't_ remove non combat skills within the respec window, so if you want to keep your elite combat skills you'll need to carefully not move so you don't trigger the "you must respec" spam, carefully delete sufficient other skills to have enough points and only then trigger the respec window.

I found the incessant system spam most annoying, so much for their recommend "test your skills under the CU before respecing" message.

I now kinda have a problem

My only Combat Skills are as mentioned Unarmed 4 from Brawler and TKA-master, everything else is in Entertainer profs.

Will I even be able to pick a full Combat Elite Prof, even if i drop enough entertainer skills?

a) I get the "two handed" line for free, since its a prereq for TKA, putting me at -11 with my current skillset. If i drop enough entertainer in advance I could respec it all to, lets say Master Pistoleer (needs Pistol and Ranged support both from Marksman)

b) Same as a) but I drop even more Entertainer skills, and could get a Hybrid prof, like Master Smuggler (which needs Unarmed from Brawler and Pistol from Marksman)

c) I don't get any boxes for free and either have to somehow grind a line of Novice Prof (like Twohanded 4) before the CU to pull a) or b) off, or I can only get 4440 in the Elite Prof?
