Subclass unlocking/levelling/sharing/progression confusion.

You have to level up any subclassed skill line just like as if it were from your own class and hadn't levelled it up yet but the patch notes say:

"Subclassed Skill lines share progression across your entire account!"

Does this refer to progression of *unlocking* of subclassed skill lines - ie you have a sorc and level up Daderic Summoning to max so it gets unlocked for all other non-sorc characters?

I ask because it could also read as: whatever degree of progression of a skill line you've made on one class that is the characters starting class is shared with any other character of a different class who picks that skill line as a subclassed one.

Alternately though it could also be interpreted as: if you progress a particular subclassed skill line on one character it gets shared across to any other character who also doesn't have that particular skill line as part of their starting class either.

I hope this clears it up, if you select an unleveled subclass and you level the subclass to rank 12 on one character when/if you pick that same subclass on another character the progression will begin at rank 12. As soon as you level it to 50 however, you'll be able to have that subclass at 50 for all of your other characters.

Thanks that does clear it up & I'm very glad it's this way because I have 14 characters (2 sorc, 1 arc, 2 dk, 2 wards, 3 NBs, 1 temp.) & want to do different solo build combos to make them different to each other and more fun to play!
