THings like making the abilities you use to command your et/summon/shifter-form as taking up one of the active slots, and than also having passives that aguement your pet taking up passive spots would still allow other builds to be very viable, most of all if the summoning of the pet or shiftiing is a somewhat long cast or puts you into a prone state while being used. Here's too hoping that in future patches they release a grouping of cells that deal with shifting, and sommoning pets to control for the players that like that style of play. Honestly i see it being really hard to make pet builds extremely op in tsw with the combat system, with the synergy that comes from group interaction in combat the pet-user might actually be at a disadvantage as they need to rely on the party to maximize the output of the pet they spent all their powers to get an now have no real ways of putting up status effects to expploit.

The platform gives lots of room for adding different weapons. I'd expect to see 3 or 4 every expansion.

I agree we will see alot though i am thinking that wiht how popular pet-based classes are in most games, that a pet/shifter type build type/cell would be one of those big things that many in the community would love to have before expansions. I just find the idea that putting in a pet/shifter system/cells would  make it mandatory in a system like how tsw is done, now if it were wow or other games like that where you do not so much inveest in your pet as it is a secondary entity that is with you i can see it, but in tsw it is so much more about how you build an work with your group compared to othr games.

It is nice, i still think we will see some problems with balance but that is funcom's headhache and not mine.

It still pales compared to the master, drunken loud arsehole as he was. SWG will always be the shining example to why this sort of system should not be done lightly. People will find a way to abuse it and then break as much stuff as they can with it.

So three articles on TSW in the last few days.

How much is Funcom paying you for these ones then?

mmorpg said they partnered with FC to bring updates, or something like that.

It's common practice i mean look at swtor, rifts, and many other ones out there. Nothign but common practices no underhanded dealings,  i mean we all know it happens so how underhanded or backroom could it be?

When i was playing i found going elemental (heavy uses of slow effects in teh hindrances), with afew blood powers worked well.

played the beta a litle and im hating the UI , the animation too 

the graphic look not very good either and the game lag for me :(

my computer old but usualy run most game at max setting

( for exemple TERA max setting , guild war 2 max setting too ) ,

yet this game realy lag , i suspect that something to do with funcom bad coding .

anyway i have wasted 15 gig of download , bad move

My current build is called "The Bloody Axe Killer"

way OP.

Hope you guys realise those are just suggested builds. You are not forced to pick any of them and that you have something like 500 abilities to pick and choose from to make your own unique builds.

And addint to post above: once you unlock the deck, you can use 'clothes' associated with deck, but you don't have to use deck anymore. :)

Bodyguard is the deck I've been using. In the future I will branch out and create my own but right now this deck has served me perfectly. I tried two others before dedicating a good amount of playing time to this one. Secret World has put all other MMOs on hold for me.

CBT

definitely go lifetime. It's worth it.
