The dev team has said they have no plans to make epic c!asses. Instead, they will likely have powersets you can unlock that are unique, like an Assassin primary set and a Ninjitsu secondary that essentially make a Brawler into a Rogue type class. Or something like a Holy Warrior secondary and a Divine Protection primary that make a Tank into a Paladin. In other words, making specialists that are dang good at what they do, rather than Jack of all trades and master of none, like Kheldians were.
that is sad to hear but I guess there is no way to make everyone happy; I mean that limitation was something which I already would have liked to be different with CoH since I am more of a role player than a gamer.
So basically I never cared to have the best, most effective character possible - which is the reason why I don´t care about Specialists - but was more looking for a Superhero-Like feeling. And to tell the truth, when you look around in the Comic Book Industry there are not that many characters which are so specialized, that one could have created them with CoH. Not a Batman, Superman or Iron Man or Cable (I could make a list for hours but I think that is sufficient for what I meant).
But just out of curiousity: How should an Assassin work as a specialist? I mean, that is a contradiction in itself. The only thing in which you could call an Assassin a specialist is in killing. But in that art they generally use a range which is so whide that even Kheldians would pale in comparison. I mean, take any Assassin out of comic books or the traditional Assassin type of groups out of history and you have people who know how to fight (armed and unarmed) often also would be good with camouflage, traps and poisons and such. In CoH that would have combined a Controller, a (weak) Blaster, and a Brawler in one
Anyway it was basically just a thought I had, so thank you anyway for pointing that info out for me
