I realize that's only a portion of the planned spells/skills, but, and correct me if I'm wrong, aren't most of those spells/skills that the classes already had? Maybe the names a bit different, but that's it.
It's nice that they threw in some fluff skills, like turning into badgers, and forcing people to kneel before you(can't wait to see the imaginative ways that gets abused
).
But where's the new, and useful stuff? How well tested is this stuff going to be, if it's really that great and new? Particularly the high end skills/spells.
Aye some beta testers called them out on the thread but most just ignored it. We will see, no?
Maybe nothing really needed to be changed? Maybe they just tweaked it a little bit, to make it more effective, but thats just thoughts.....
If that were the case, then why go through the motions of re-defining the classes in the first place? The classes were badly in need of revision before the changes started going in. As of now, it's unclear how this will affect things in the long run - either they didn't do enough (and we are right back to where we started) or they have done too much (and nerfs will be coming in the future.)
What I find most troubling is the fact that even with a few new class defining abilities here and there, it is still utterly unclear which path a player should take. The class branches are (more or less) analogous to ability specialization in other games. A coercer is essentially a mage with a focus on enchanter abilities. And, since every mage could fill this roll with a certain degree of success, we are really back to the four archetypes when choosing our classes.
The lack of diversity is further emphasized by the uncharacteristic abilities given to some of the end classes: Giving melee classes magic abilities further infringes on mage classes, who are already 80% similar to other mages. Why not give the classes abilities that are at least SOMEWHAT relevant to the theme - I would much rather see a Monk debuff his foe by unleashing a fury of blows than a damaging them with a magical AE lightning attack.
I really hope they continue to tweak the classes - as of now I question the immersion of what they have shown so far...

I havent played the game, but I havent heard any complaints about "what path to choose" from beta testers, so im sure once you actually play the game everything will become much clearer. As for the whole "tweaking" idea, I was just thinking of why they would do that, I wasnt saying that was the reason, so just be patient and all will be explained, or if your so interested, why not e-mail sony or someone that could give you a real answer and find out and let us know on the forums.
Actually, it's all over SoE's forums. It looks like the experienced players have a lot of doubts that anything has changed significantly, while the lower level players (who have yet to achieve a sufficient level to benefit from the recent changes) welcome them with open arms. In other words, SoE has taken everyone's complaints about class diversity, and promised huge changes. Only time will tell if they have done enough...
