i am realy starting to miss the old combat cue 
realy want to see it brought back, but intigrated with the new move-timer system, as is its very difficult to figure out what your next action is, and when its up, etc. and having to click each attack at the moment you want to use it is frustrating... there this close to L2's interface, may as well add back the combat cue.

I'm going to be pleased if Swordsman/Pikeman becomes the new FOTM template, cause then I can proudly display in my bio that I was one long before the CU

what i dont understand... why does pike have cert for battle armor.. but BH has cert for assault.... they are both tanks.. but you would think BH's need more mobility thena pikeman... hence they'd wear battle armor ... pikeman are frontline tanks so they'd need harder assault armor...
that's using the logic that was explained by the devs

First time you log on you will probably see a screen that looks like the Skill window, and you will be given a chance to respecify your template based on what you had before. You will need to take Unarmed 4 as well in order to get Pikeman.

Well, I would imagine with the 'respec', or whatever they call it, that will be happening, it will keep track of how many skill points that were used up in the altered professions, then we pick skill by skill what we want to have. That would mean that we will have to fill in those two brawler trees prior to filling in Pikeman.

The lack of the queue is tough. If you accidently hit the wrong button you have to wait till it completes to do your next move. No more clear queue. Also the fact that you won't auto attack the whole time is annoying. If you don't hit anything for awhile you peace out.

I don't like how ... going from Novice Brawler to the first box in Polearm, you get no new move (just center of being). It be nice to get at least one new move in that first box, so you feel like you've actually made progress.
Looking forward to trying it some more this weekend. So far, just keeping an open mind about it all.
You are granted Melee Strike at Polearms 2.
Learn pole1, then take 2handed1. In doing so you get the melee strike ability from the swords prof and are able to use it with the wood staff. Makes grinding out a lil easier, drop 2handed after you get pole2, or take it to master brawler. Same goes with other melee professions if they get pole1 they get CoB with it. I really like how the abilities are working out like that.
So by following the trees you can get a good idea on what will work with what. As it stands on test right now armor break (2handed4 atm) can be used with a pike/Mbrawler carrying any pike weapon. I think that cross profession ability set up is going to make things really interesting. You could have the same exact templates but engage and utilize your skills in two completely different ways.
XP is a lil slow but prolly for testing purposes. I think once the elite professions are opened up, people will really start to see how nice the new system will be.

Toughness has been removed. Defense hinges on ranged and melee defnese solely now. Jedi oughness is gone to and many are say they got royaly screwed by the nerf bat. If you want proof check out the jedi board and the test center board.

So far i love the new stuff, the one thing i hate is the new icons. . . i have my screen set to windu purple just b/cause it is really easy on the eyes ( not bright) . . . + it is very hard to figure out what they are......
oh yeh, and when you get hurt the bar turns dark red, instead of white, i think they need to put that back, jsut b/cause people are used to it............
