Sub-Classes

[Angelo]

I'm hoping that some of the abilities that were dropped in the alpha trees will make a comeback

Flash Guard would be nice to beef up my T-Def on my HU. I'm also hoping for some more hate generation extensions, like a AoE upgrade for Warcry.

I'm going to tinker with it but I want a mix of Melee/Range. I haven't really kept up with pso2 so I'm a little behind on the news. Does the subclasses get new skill trees or something if you choose to mix it up abit?

[Indignation Judgment]

This is my full call on the matter:

-Subclasses are, by itself, a system.
-Techer, Gunner, and the other one I can't remember are normal classes as legit as Force, Hunter, Ranger.
-The new weapon types will be released along the new classes, so the new classes have a weapon of their own.
-You can choose one of your other classes to be your subclass.
-You inherit all of your subclass' skills learnt on their Skill Tree.
-You inherit native usage of your subclass' weapons.
-If you are not a force as first or second class, Marloo will send you flying into outer space in a foie burst.

Well i'm all for this as long it doesn't affect the balance of the game.

I think its just a Sub-Class of the Main Class instead of a pick and choose otherwise they would just say and or hint towards Hybrids. Golden Falcon is spot on

Hopefully this means I'll finally be able to cast techniques as a newman...since well... it's very unlike PSO that I can't.

If this is true, I will murder someone.

Someone responsible.

I doubt they would do something that incredibly disappointing.

Eh. If they did that, I'd expect they'd call them 'Advanced professions"

"Subclass" implies that there are options to choose from.

There's two ways I can imagine it'll work:

1. You have your main class with it's skill tree and stuff, and your subclass. Depending on your main class and subclass combination, you end up with a different subclass skill tree.

Hunter/Fighter: High damage potential or high damage mitigation/tanking.
Hunter/Gunner: Focus on wired lance, daggers, AR, mechgun
Hunter/Techer: Focus on sword, partisan and offensive AoE technics

Ranger/Fighter: Focus on sword, partisan, gunslash and launcher
Ranger/Gunner: Crazy crowd control and debuff potential
Ranger/Techer: Focus on AR, mechgun and support techniques

Force/Fighter: Focus on wired lance, daggers, rods and support technics
Force/Gunner: Focus on AR, mechgun, cards and ranged offensive technics
Force/Techer: Crazy elemental damage potential

2. You have your main class and subclass, but the subclass trees are the same regardless of your main class.

The first would allow them to really tailor make a hybrid class, while the second would make things more rigid and could possibly lead to some odd choices, like when they finally come out with light/dark/wind technic talents.

Disappointing? How would it be disappointing? What would be the point of a Ranger using a Fighter as a Sub Class? The only sense it makes is if Forces use Fighters and Hunters and Rangers use Techers. That is if were talking Hybrids but even then whats the point of having a Hybrid if all the classes are almost perfect. Rangers and Force Rarely need to heal in terms of Damage a Monster can do to them compared to Hunters. As they are Mid-Long Range. Thats my Perspective of it and i know everyone is entitled to their own opinions and depending upon how the Sub Classes are setup i can find some instances where hybrids could be useful but in the end id rather have more weapons and Techs based around my main class. All in all i want Knuckles :3
