Sounds interesting. What do you have in mind??

/agree

I think there should be a duel wielded class that can carry two blades, or another assassin class like a bounty hunter only more of a melee version.

hmm not really sure yet

I was just trying to get it out there and let people know that there should be some

if you want you can post some of your ideas here

Why not a scout brawler hybrid specialized in mounted combat? he could use specials while mounted and could make his mount attack while he's riding. Maybe coming from polearm and hunting?

the mounted-combat hybrid would really rule, i think that idea is great since mounts need to have an advatage since speeders are faster. A cavalry type lancer who would actually excel on a dewback would be really fun to play. What would the pre-req skills be? Nov Pikeman and Nov CH?

the hybrid i thought of would actually be a mix of melee and ranged and would have its own set of weapons.

1) Vibro-boomerangs that could be used like a machette up close, and then thrown in various ways to pop someone kiting or to innitiate combat from afar likea rifleman. Special moves could include a richochet that bounces between all available targets, or sending the boomerang in a circle around the user like a whirling shield.

2) A whip-spear segmented in parts so when it is whole, it can be thrust and swung like a polearm, then when the parts are seperated (conected by a chain/wire) allows for a whiplike pistol-range snap. Same idea as above, to mix up the ranges the fighter could use. I was inspired by the soulcalibur character ivy for this one although her weapon is a sword.. same principal.

that would require way too many new animations, because most weapons don't make sense to be swung the way that they are in their current profession. Not even our devs can get away with making an entire profession where you swing your sword as if it were a hammer when you don't have the option of doing that move with a hammer. I'd personally much prefer a more logical division of weapons instead of hammers and swords and axes all in one, but the required work is very substantial.
