Anyone know of (or have) a listing of all of the revamped class pre-reqs? I figure a little pre-emptive planning might be warranted, but I don't remember seeing anything specific about what classes will take what.

In particular I am interested in the SL and Commando reqs...anyone? Buehler?

Ferris was sick today, but I owed him a stand-in for hooking me up with his sister on the rebound from Boy in the Police Station.

Oooh...I just had a thought....

I should be able to re-spec one tree in scout (say the exploration tree) and convert it to another (wilderness or trapping) no problem right? Wilderness XP here I comes!

you don't need to

that tree is based on regular scout xp now, so if you have extra you can go train in it right away

also, the bug where if you had a bunch of xp, then trained at a NPC trainer and then you lost a bunch of xp, it is now fixed

So what happens if I thumb my nose at SOE, keep my -11 skill points, and never respec?

You'll be forever frozen where you stand. Negative points disable all movement. Even the /thumbnose command. :lol:

I don't know if this is a screw up or how SOE intended it, but pikeman does NOT require the unarmed tree of brawler. It requires the 2 handed tree.

When I logged in yesterday, I was automatically (w/o respec) given 2-handed 1-4. I had sp unused, so I guess they automatically gave me what I needed. And I was able to keep pikes as well when I respec-ed the unarmed tree.

Maybe they screwed up?

no they just changed the pre-req's and didn't tell anyone as usual

makes sense to have 2hand be a prereq for pikes, than unarmed anyway

and yes the respec gives you automatically what you need
