@ Februs, you make good points there. I never thought of it that way and it is possible that Machinist, Astro and DK will not be included in the first step skip.
As for the custom stats, i am feeling the same just really hope if thats the case that it is useful stats not more acc instead of say spell speed for blm as an example, i am already over the cap, lol
There is still debate over if we will have a base weapon to start with, either eso weapon or Zeta, etc.. I really do not know tbh
