How Strong is the Secondary Archetype?

I'm just curious here. As I see "crusaders" (especially holy knights), you'd either need a tank/cleric or a cleric/tank combination rather than a fighter/x one. I could maaaybe see fighter/cleric pairing, but still, out of those 3 choices the fighter seems like the best way to level up a character, mainly because he's a dps (and you said you want a dps class), while both tank and cleric would have to be pretty much supports.

So considering that, why do you find that fighter doesn't fit your preference?

I wouldn't know either way, cause I don't care about that specific combination, nor do I really care for pure RP.

Ah, so your issue is just with the first 25 lvls. Got it.

Let us combine our powers and cast Resurrection on this topic for another Forum Raid on the "We Haven't Heard More From Intrepid Yet" encounter.

My thanks to OP for being willing to sponsor this instance, since we who have run it before get a debuff to Engagement and Credibility just for being here. Shoutouts to SirChancelot for bringing the Echoes Of The Past item to lessen that debuff.

A few days of one "class" and then years of your preferred one - no that doesn't seem the least bit unfair to me.

If this system grinds your gears this much or if you are not planning on playing the game for years to come (at your scale that being decades of your preferred class) - guess this is not the game for you.

I'm almost betting that this will be the case. I can hope all I want that augments will somehow be these amazing changes to our skills and their effects, but I'm fairly sure it'll never be that, so I'd rather just prepare for a barebones archetype gameplay w/ barely any changes to it after the class acquisition.

And the feedback is completely fine, but considering that we're 5 years into development, drastically changing the whole class system would either delay the release even more than it already has been or just make another NW out of Ashes. And that is why I said that the game might not fit your preferences.

I wasn't being sarcastic, I feel just as strongly about this as you do, and I agree with you entirely about it being 'unfair' to have to play 25 levels of something you don't necessarily gel with before you can even start transforming it.

Given the type of person I am, your response is reasonable, just letting you know that on this front, I'm with you entirely, and continue to hope that Heavy Armor DPS Cleric works for you early on.

It is strongly expected by most people.
