Differentiate me from other players with same class!

people would only do the optimal builds, except for a few "scrubs" that "need to learn how to play", to put it in the common tongue.

This will forever be a silly argument. I hate when people say this sort of stuff. While it is true, this never stopped me, or anyone else in other games from doing the "fun builds" rather than the optimal.


I know a lot of people around these boards hate World of Warcraft, and dislike is less when anyone brings it up. But personally, I'd rather see us go in that games direction of classes. Give us a few talent trees to pick from and let people decided how they want to build their character. An example of this is (Sorry wow example again), Paladins. they had 3 talent trees, 1 for tanking, 1 for healing and 1 for dps. This gives variation to what people can play as, under a certain class, as well as giving you more options to do something different and be a little bit unique. I feel like the only reason SE hasn't done this yet, is they just don't have the man-power. Everything takes time, and honestly, Yoshi has gone on record saying he would like to make 3 versions of each raid as they are released, but they don't have the time or man power to do it, and I think this is whats holding the game back from making any kind of major changes.
