  Haven't seen that one before, was a good watch. Although the problem that has showed up in a lot of their videos so far is still there, ie where are all the mobs? its very barren it seems hopefully its just the areas they tend to shoot have little mobs, otherwise their will be lots of camping for spawns.

  Skinshifter looks great, I think I am going to try a more healing oriented class first though, especially since you have to aim their heals ;p

  Actually every class has healing skills, some just more efficient then others.

  They try to move away from the template classes like tank/dps/healer and give every class a lot of potential to be hybrid and set yourself up with as many defense/offensive or healing skills as you want.

  I am thinking along the lines of the void seer, it sounds like it has a more buffer/healer role. One of the draws for me to this game is the lack of the classic set up of tank, dps, healer archetypes. Since everyone can do damage, everyone can heal, and everyone can tank although some have more utility in these areas than others.

  The void seer just sounds like its up my alley from the description on their site, I always try to play a support type of role, preferably healing and/or buffing type of role, and the void seer does both

  The good thing about TCOS, is if I pick a class that sounds like a healer. I can still tank when needed or dps when needed, but I think it still has a clear role even though its a hybrid, although you have more of a choice of what that role is within the limits of the class archetype, I think some people like with say the druid class in WoW will have hybrid set ups for their skill deck, and others more of a dps set up/healing set up etc.

  I think that there will still be a sort of tank, healer, dps set up in instances, but the differences is any one can swtich to that role when need be, so its more dynamic.

  I agree. I usually gravitate toward the healer/hybrids.

  I'm really intrigued by the rotating action bar. The way you set that up could have huge effects on how your character is played. I'm hoping its really in-depth.
