    Character build variety...

    Although I am brand new to the game, the only thing that disappoints me with the games class/build system is the fact that you have no choice in which role a given class fills. For example, before I started this game, I saw Marauder and thought, "Oh cool, two handed axe wielding badass!" only to find out the only role you can fill as this class is a tank, therefore killing that dream. Basically there is one and only one spec/class in the game. Even being a newb, I can see the desire for different builds once you have lots of game time under your belt.There are only as many play styles in the game as there are classes, which seems like a longevity killer to me.

    Would it have been possible for paladins/warriors to fill a DPS role via a new/different build rather than mandatory tank (as an example)? Too much work? Or simply wouldn't fit the design goals and direction of the game?

    Well, that's SLIGHTLY possible, but only with like, pre-made groups, or if you happen to queue up for a duty, and out of the 2 tanks, the other is more sutable for tanking compared to yourself. Then you switch to your dps stance and DPS your heart away. WAR's are famous for it lol
