I would like to see an option to play 2 classes on a single character. An example would be to merge Paladin and Priest. However, a class may not be available to you if a certain race isn’t available to that class. Example: Blood Elf Paladin and Priest is ok, however, Undead Paladin and Priest would not be available. I find myself enjoying some aspects of the game on all classes, but I would like to enjoy the entire game on one character. I think an option to merge 2 of them would help. Priests, as an example, fun to play in PVP, Dungeons and raids, but not so fun to complete quests with. I find melee better suited for completing quests. I’d like to have nearly all classes available on a single character, but even 2 would suffice.
If not, then allow for all progress to be faction-specific and account wide.
Uhh…no brah.
Yeah, I never thought about that before, good point!
If you want cross classing play d&d. There would be so many mechanical errors to doing this.
im a unholy arms death warior
I want to be a Demon Hunter Rogue. You thought we were annoying just wait till you see me go in stealth too.
Wrong game, FF XIV is to your left.
Guess I wasn’t that clear. You wouldn’t be able to play them at the same time, you would switch to them like you do specializations.
Why dont you just make a second character then? Be like me and make all your characters female Blood Elves and you dont care about having to switch!
Also Imagine being a priest/paladin. You get to carry around a cloth set, for each spec you want to play AND several plate sets for the paladin specs you want to play.
They are never going to allow you to have more than one class per character and switch between them like they are different class specs. The system FF uses does that and it is a nice feature but outside of them, almost no one uses anything similar. Class selection is a very core feature of your character in an MMO.
I have multiple level 120s. You have a good point about the armor sets, however, you could easily turn Plate to Cloth when changing over, just keep the item level and stats. You’d need to carry more trinkets and weapons, though.
Either merge classes or keep progress account wide rather than to a certain character, this is my opinion.
Lmao this xpac class design is already god awful. Try ESO, where you can be a rogue healer or battlemage😂. Its a great game tho
I had the idea of switching specs before they ever implemented it. People laughed and gawked at that idea then, but nobody imagines it being different now. I don’t think it’s a terrible option, wouldn’t take much to make it work. Maybe not all classes, even merging two would be nice.
For some classes you already have this. Holy Priest to Shadow Priest, Marks to Survival.
But seriously this is where I tell you the old but relevant saying: They can’t even balance what we got now, why complicate things even more?
I have tried others, even FF XIV. Nothing compares to WoW right now.
They won’t do either of those options and I don’t blame them. Your progress upon one character should have no bearing upon another. People often ask for account wide faction but think about it, how does it make any sense? Bob spends weeks helping the local community, defeating their enemies, helping them thru natural disasters and generally being their savior. After all of that they accept Bob as one of them and treat him as a hero. Then alone comes Jim, who they have never seen before. Jim has never lifted a finger to help them but because he knows Bob he should be treated like Bob?
They are different beings in the game, just because they are played by the same players doesn’t change that. This is only even started being a discussion because they allowed things like mounts, title and achievements to be account wide…
Switching specs was easy to imagine. I mean they are just a variant play style of the class you already are. What you are asking for is completely different and would require a large redesign of the game.
I don’t have much faith in today’s Blizzard either, but they’d be no balancing to it. It’d be like changing characters without logging out. I guess the real issue is having to restart your progress when you do switch characters. Actually, I will shoot for them allowing progress to be account wide, maybe I will get farther than trying to merge classes. Although, item level is part of that progress.
Novel idea, but would never happen. Blizzard claims to be pro class fantasy and spec individuality. They wouldn’t allow you to muddy the waters, so to speak.
I kind of understand this. Personally I would love the ability to have multiple classes on one character. Like in FFXIV you can experience every job and freely switch inbetween jobs, each job is available at level one and you can level it up all over again.
I would love to have all of my rep progress on one character and not have to play several just to not get bored of the same class over and over again
