I agree for the most part with this post. I would have been vary happy to be part of a hybrid class. Would have been able to get my fix of both crafting and combat, and would have actually given the DE a purpose and roll in the GCW. I do understand why a pure crafter would not like things to be this way. And obviously your voices were louder than ours,and you seem to be getting your way. Congrats!


But, you will see. The game will not be able to add enough content to make a pure crafter happy for long.


Oh, by the way. The BE has a vary important roll with chefs and tailors for good crafting, and has a necessary roll with base takedowns in the GCW.


The Devs should have listened to their hearts and not the community on this one. Only a small percentage of players actually read these boards and that percentage just made the decision for the whole class.

Highlighted is the primary problem here. It has already been stated that if we were to end up ahybrid class, they would have re-structured the skill trees to make up for that. A revamp of the class, which may still show on the In Dev Page before they dropped the whole high level combat droid idea. You can't be both a crafting class and a combat class all in one profession branch. Who knows what they would have made us give up, if they would have ever even gotten around to doing this in the first place. We may have lost our ability to sell probots, had pistol or brawler as a pre-req. Who knows ??? If you have a Dev as a relative, mabey you can clue us in since no communication was flowing down to tell us what our options were.


If you think the devs would have just thrown in a high class combat droid only useable by DE's wihtout changing everything else in our class, you are deluding yourself. That is why the whole idea of the DH class evolved. They couldn't just change the entire profession right under everyone's noses just to make the Combat Droid junkies happy.

If they had plopped in a combat droid leaving the class as is, every other crafting profession would have been screaming for a high level pet as well. The only way to do it fairly is to have certs inserted into every profession requiring skill points to gain the droids, or the seperate droid handler class which may eventually happen anyway.
