unique trademark for classes are soon all gone

[Crazyy]

<p>Where did all unique trademarks for every class go? Now some classes can do almost everything...Working on to delete some classes from the game?</p><p>First scout abilities where giving away as racial traits..Already that was annoying...But this expansion are almost destroying every classes trademark...</p><p>Why playing for example a rouge?Their debuffs arent that important anymore cause other classes have got loads of debuff skills...</p><p>Hurricane that was for example trademark for swashies, that are now giving away as adornment to other classes..</p><p>and btw rouges cant even use their range CA:s in this expansion cause there are no thrown weapon arround for scouts. Are rouges the first scout classes to start to delete from game?</p><p>What about bards? Before they were very good utility. Now they are good dps with tiny bit of utility..So maybe time to delete all utilityclasses and let all become dps classes...</p><p>What about fighters? Developers just seems to care about crusaders..They want all other fighters to get deleted from the game? They seems for example have no clue how a zerker is working..or maybe they dont care..Maybe first fighter class to delete from game?</p><p>I can give many more example how this game have been changing..and not in a good way in my opinion..Soon all unique trademark for every class is gone..And this game has became all about dps now...</p><p>Congratz to destoying a game that once was very good with classes with their own unique trademarks <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>The uniquness is gone because of player feedback. People complain that such and such class can do certain things so they want they're class to do it. In order to keep population from dwindling, you have to keep players happy, so you change things around.  In the end classes become more streamlined with cross-class abilites.</p>

<p>Hm..why just make only one class in the game then...that way none can complain..Boring but if everyone would be able to do all things..well then its just one class that is needed..</p><p>And I dont totally by that about feedback and streamline... Still no thrown weapon arround for rougues and you have got that feedback since beta...</p><p>And look at crusaders..they can almost do everything that are arround in game..melee dps, spell dps, heal, cure, powerregen..just a matter of time until they are able to mezz and charm and cure curse...the only thing they are missing..Compare that with warrior...I would not call that streamline..or are it only crusaders at forums...???Zerkers have skills that drain them on power..not give power back...Warriors are depending of melee dps to keep agro...and you nerf melee dps frontal..crusaders still do same spelldamage frontal...Warrors are struggling with agromanagement..And zerker have it hardest cause they have no ability to get hate/threat transfered and cant decrease any high dps..Where is the streamline there? I cant see any..</p><p>Put for a example a crusader together with a shaman and compare what you get if you put a warrior together with a clerc...not streamline in my opinion</p><p>To be honest right now no scouts are needed..Well you can still play them but you should hardly notice if they are there or not..Just put crusaders and shamans together and enchanters and your are set...well give some more magedps to increase dps to make it a bit faster,,,</p><p>Now when you are taking away interrupt from dirges ability COB..guess what class that got interrupt skill...crusader of course...SK this time..</p><p>So I dont buy that about streamline...Some classes got all ..others are just robbed of their trademarks</p><p>And strange if only crusaders are yelling at forums..hard to buy that part too to be honest...</p><p>And if every classes should be alike..why dont give heal and grp heal to every scoutclass..Assassin already got it..Why not give away hatetransfers too..to everyone..cause some classes have it so best that all classes have it..</p><p>Cant see any streamline at all..just making some classes able to do almost everything..and other classes just have to see that their trademarks are given to some other class and they will not get anything insteed..</p>

<p>Wow almost everything mentioned in here is pretty much patently untrue.  Are we even playing the same game?</p>

<p>I stopped reading when he claimed bards had almost no utility, rogues dont have useful debuffs and thought crusaders were still the best tank in the game.The OP has no clue what he is talking about.</p>
