'play how you want'

No, thanks.

I say let players KEEP every skill line they level and then let us pick abilities from any one we want. Such as, one ability from Sorcerer, one from Dragon Knight, one from Necromancer, one from Templar, one from Warden and one from Nightblade or one of the other remaining classes. THAT would real subclassing. Let us find a mixture that we like and works for our playstyle.

Categorize class lines and limit one per category.

Just like the wikis, or in game, each class has 3 skill lines. Typically the first in line is more dmg based, second is hybrid’ish, third is more healish, afaik.

Basically, pick one from each category but not two of the same.

define the sorc skill lines for me then.

i'll wait.

You’re picking Storm calling on a subclass build anyway..

Right… unless you want to be even slightly above average at the game.

Limit one swapped line. Must have two from your original class.

Then it's an actual subclass.

Subclassing as it is could be expanded upon. Let us swap out our base class. Let us have up to three skill lines from any other class. That way I don't need to have one Templar skill line at minimum; I could instead have three Warden skill lines, or two Necromancer skill lines and one Warden skill line.

Something that gives the players total freedom over which three skill lines they own without needing to swap characters to do so. Also please let us use any Class Set and style, and make the Scribing Class Mastery change depending on how many skills on a skill bar you have equipped, i.e. you could change Class Mastery based on which Class skills you use the most of. All without changing characters.

Add a sixth skill slot and let players have 4 skill lines instead of 3. Maintain the subclass swap out of two class skill lines. For example, sorc could play 2 sorc lines 1 arcanist, 1 warden or 3 sorc lines, 1 Dk, etc. Go all in on the power creep, why not.

While we're throwing out ideas that'll never happen unnerf Oakensoul. Even better, let back bar passives work with Oak on even if you still can't bar swap. That'd be awesome. I haven't found subclassing to be particularly one bar friendly since so much of the benefit of it is from the passives and not the actual skills themselves. As a one bar player I tinkered with subbing and then said forget it. For me, what was gained from subbing did not outweigh what was lost from taking the mythic off. So I went back to a pureclass build. It works well enough to do everything I want to do so why bother. I would also like a flying unicorn mount that throws rainbows at my enemies which is about as likely to happen as any of my other ideas 🦄
