You will never hear the end of this... hahaha... so funny.

Seriously, Q and TH. I like what I'm seeing here with the dev participation. It's just one thread, though. Let's see more activity in here. Whether through Gunman21 or directly giving the input yourself, we would greatly appreciate more attention.

"It's coming in the combat pass" responses make baby Jesus cry.

Yeah, I'm not a Pikeman, but please note the important word. Force. Certain combinations are just going to be as good as it gets, and then it becomes a standard. "I want to be good in PvP ergo I have to be a Pistoleer/BH/Commando/Smuggler." or what have you. Granted there are still several options depending on what aspect of combat you want to be good at, but you're still looking at limited choices. The stakes have been raised amongst the best of us, where the only way to compete at ALL is to be the same profession mixture. Stacking more forces a class based standard than not stacking does.

So, no defence stacking and no bleed/DoT stacking..

Wich means there is no point to master more than one combat proffession..

What should I do with the rest of my skillpoints? I hate crafting, I dont want to be a fancy dancer... I want to have a good combat character.. And after these changes it seems I will only use around 80 points to make that character..

I agree with a previous poster, seems the devs want everyone to be doctors and combat medics in addition to one combat class...

Have played since end of may (beta) and this is the first time I have begun to wonder if I finally have to play another game, or become jedi.

Then again, even though I have never considered quiting before, I have lived through a couple of odd nerfs(got a probot day before nerf, got KDsame dayas timer nerf, took a brake from a character to come back unable to call his pets, and so on), and for the most part I agree they are for the best.. This one I have serious doubts will make this game better.

Time will tell, I hope for the best but fears the worst (wich means I will actually have to get a life )

Question; does this meet a master tka/pistoleer wont have mitigation 3 in ranged and melee? The dont "stack" exactly.

First of all the combat system has to change cause the way it is, it leaves some people with zero chance to do anything.When a character is fully buffed with 90% comp on, a pistoleer or pikemanor fencerhave practically zero chance to kill them, it just wont happen and thats a flaw in the system. They dont have the weapons or the skills to do it and that means theres soemthing wrong with the system. Carbineers have KD, TKA havespeed and power and kd and everything, swordsman have mind hit and bleeds, rifleman have.... everything including a stun gun that owns even the best composite. The combat system needs a bit of tweaking im personally glad they are revamping it.

TH, since you guys are posting here can we get some kind of idea on what defenses specifically will not stack. Primary defenses (ranged defense, melee defense) Secondary defenses (counterattack, block, dodge) or Mitigation defenses. Are all not going to stack from different professions, or will some still stack like the primary defenses? I think there is a lot of confusion on this.
