So, I've been strolling down forum lane trying to get some info on how character progression is going to take place and in all honesty I'm really liking the "I can be everything" style. The only thing I'm still kind of confused about is combining skills.

How does it work? Do I combine let's say, a skill that lets me do 20 fire dmg on touch, and then combine that with a fling skill and it lets me fling fireballs? Is that the idea?

And if that is the idea, will it allow for cross skill tree combinations of skills? Cause IMO that would be completely wicked.

You don't actually combine skills in this game. But abilities get thins called "Morphs" to them, so after a certain point you can morph your ability and it changes in some way.

Let's say you have a fireball and it just does single target damage. Now you could either morph it to allow it do add a DoT or do AoE damage to everyone around the target.

Ok great, that cleared a lot of things up. Back to the drawing board with my character >.<

Thanks for the reply

No problem

There are also going to be symbiotic skills among the different character classes, to encourage coordinated group play... but that, I guess, is not what you were asking about

Well, you can combine skills from different trees on your skill bar. Each class gets 3 individual skill trees, each weapon has its own tree, each armor type has its own, guilds, races, etc. all have their own trees.

You are able to mix and max available skills from all available trees to fill out your 6 slots. This could lead to some interesting combinations.

By combine he was talking about merging two different abilities to make one new one.

I couldn't decipher the OP. That's why I just added the additional info. Glad we got that cleared up.... Next!
