[dev1033] Ideas for a Two-Tier Class System: Jobs on Top of Weapon Specializations

My mind is fuzzy from taking pain killers, but I have an interesting idea i'd like to put on here. Now I'm gonna give you the low down on what its about and expand upon it later. Basically have your title bonuses be able to be chosen upon leveling. I've. Always wanted to be a drk tank and I think it could be done. I've made some pretty decent posts about it in other dev 1033 threads but the only issue I see with choosing your title bon suses is if you wanted to switch from tank to DD, or healer to support. Maybe depending on what your sub class is, changes some of the traits associated with your title.

I am not sure if I understand your point.
Whatever the the name of your title (DRK vs PLD), I don't think you should be very good in both damage dealing AND tanking, that would cause balance issues. I could see a potential customization of your title tho if that's what you mean.

Now if drk could sub glad it would lose its major DD in favor of a more tank build. The differences being using absorbs to boost stats and drain hp. Paladin would use cures and abilities. Two different play stylesbut using gladiator as a sub is what makes it a tank job. Let's say we assign marauder as the sub class, drk would use scythe and get spike dmg abilities, pld would use 2 hand sword and get the same.

Yup I think it's the essence of the "title" system.
I can see playing DRK/THM also with all the absorbs and spikes, plus the feeling of this class would be even darker lol
