[quote name="FoK"][quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="fabio"]Good lord that was a terribly boring first hour hump though. Desperately needs an option to skip the tutorials, and there's no reason to not give you ability points right from level 1. Is there any way to switch classes mid-game? When we tried to start a game with level 1s and 3s it told us the 3s were too far ahead in the story and forced us to all start as 1s. Would we all have to start over completely? Started off as a Siren but I think I want to switch. She just doesn't seem to fulfill any tank/support/damage role that the other classes can't do much better. Her biggest contribution so far has been using phasewalk to cut down the party's travel time to quest and fast travel points. [/quote] She does an assload of damage entering and exiting phasewalk later, and her bitch slaps coming out of phasewalk can be upgraded hugely if you take the assassin route. [/quote] Even saying it's an assload is understating it. Once it gets environmental damage, the Siren's phasewalk ability is so overpowered it makes soloing the game a total cakewalk. Basically she can walk into any room, phasewalk, and then just wait a few seconds for everything to die.[/quote]
