I just hope that the combat revamp isn't just a pile of profession nerfs loaded into one huge Service Pack. I am honestly getting sick of every dev action seemingly being a weaken the players, or make it harder for someone who hasn't been in the game for 6 months before all the nerfs move...
Don't get me started on how unbalanced the economy is and how it's now divided between the haves (those who grinded pre solo group nerf) and have nots (those who came into the game after, among others..
The combat system is mostly OK how it is.
HERE is what they need to do: Eliminate some of the grinding. Replace it with QUESTS. Endlessly doing the same thing over and over and over for xp is boring.
I'm hoping the Combat Revamp will be a good, not bad thing. But for this game it BETTER be. They can't afford to run off TOO many more people...

Yes, also if they are worried about people getting in groups just make the rewards for grouping higher withspecial loot stuff andxp. Don't make things so hardthat you can't even kill 1 baz nitch unless you have 10other players with you. 
Use Grouping Option Incentives. A perfect example is Village Phase 3 Combat Quest. You have the option of doing it solo for 1 power crystal reward, or doing it grouped with another person for 1 special color crystal plus 1 mind buff crystal. Now that is a group incentive just make sure everyone in the group gets the reward instead of just2 people.
Option + Reward, not Force + Nerf
Just my opinion.

I am afraid we will be easily defeated because we have no defenses as a swordsman and we have to defense stack to be good at pvp,what will we do at the CU,we will have no defenses,that is why i am alreayd planning to go tkm

Im pretty sure the purpose of the combat BALANCE is to BALANCE things. So i wouldnt get all worried about nerfing us into nothing. If their smart they would make each proffesion good for 1 thing and one thing only. Like instead of building a toon that can tank a elder and damage it at the same time, make it so you need a TKM to tank and 2hand will do the damage. Yeah its fun soloing big stuff, but its not susposed to be like that.
But anyhow, I personally think things will go in the right direction. /shrug

I'm a little afraid that Swordsmen might get the short end of things after the CU. We have a great profession and little to complain about except that we're not the best PvP profession out there. I just don't want to see Swordsmen get punished in the CU (granted we will be impacted by the change in defense stacking). As somebody else brought up, every other combat prof out there seems to have major grievances and I don't want to see us go from very content players to very grumpy players.
So this is a petition to the DEV's to not scr@& Swordsmen with the CU.

I think the Combat Revamp is going to kill the game 90% sure of this if so im going to WoW. All i want to see in the game is New armor with stats like comp so not every one is in it New weapons and some better missions maybe get a few new attacks from the missions once u master a profession. Thats it no need to go change every thing around i love the game how it is right now i dont see any profession better than the other as long as u have an idea of what u are doing and some ok stuff u will be fine.They could cut dots down a little or give the docs better pois buffs.(The Nerf of Solo group missions really hurt the game just think what the whole combat revamp might do!)
