Why not? PA

[FaiKKo]

Why not have a separate PA for each Role, if you gain a level all of your PA get 100 point.
Therefore I can have a PA with mostly endurance.
and My DPS one with Weapon DPS + STR/DEX exc.


I think this would be an awesome integration in rift, since getting max PA will take a while.


Every time I go to onslaughts there's always the enemy faction in groups, and I'm not going to transfer shard for PA only.

[Robes]

Because pa is SO hard to get and has such a large impact on your dps.

[Itseotle]

Because PA was designed to make your character specialized even more so with the soul system. Allowing players to reset PA easily or have separate PA sheets, or BoA PA eliminates this and forces you to be just like everyone else. Is that what you really want? Don't answer that <.<

It seems to me that a PA sheet for each role would be great for specialization and fits right in to what the soul system is all about.

Letting each role you have contain it's own PA spec. That would work.

Say my healing cleric role would be focused on air, but I switch to my tank cleric role and I can set the tree again to focus on earth.

I would like that, I don't think that would ruin anything, since you'd still have to grind to make out all the points anyways regardless.

Hey !!!! hows about NO!

You guys already got your respecs

Perfect example of how when you get a foot you want a leg, they do this, whats next?

There is nothing wrong with the way it is, you want more, grind more. Not like the whole system isn't biased towards pve anyhow...

[Zyzyx]

When you max out your PA's (like many players have already) no points would change.

This, there a few guildies that are almost done maxing out their PA. I play casually and I'm done with three of the planes right now. Its not a big deal to me when I know in a handful of months they'll all be full anyway.

[styl]

i was thinking something similar, but more dramatic, if you can have a PA per Soul, why not have a PA per Soul Per Class...

Ok let me explain, the way you currently change "soul" you could have another icon that changes "class"... and within that.. change soul and have a different PA grid per Class AND per soul...

this would also solve the alt problem (except for if you want to "Lock XP" then you would still be kind of forced to roll an alt..)

If you have 3 planes maxed out right now you most definitely do not play casually.

[bctrainers]

I am currently at 586 PA. I am projecting in about three months time tops (if even two months) I will be maxxed out on PA. There is no need to be honest to make PA role-bound. You will eventually fill them all up, some albeit sooner than the others.

edit;

I have every PA T1 filled out. All PA T2's are pick a random spot and fill out for the day.
- air PA T2 is just about finished.
- life PA T2 is half way done.
- death PA T2 is mostly done (lol major rift tear).

[Unhurtable]

No, please dont.

[Tenof]

That's why I went for str first on my warrior as str works for both offensive and defensive.

If my warrior really "needs" endurance over strength in PA to tank end-game contents, then the game is broken and serious attention from Trion is required.
But as far as I know that's not the case and the majority of the "needs" and "requirements" is created by players.

[Scormus]

PAs are our means of character progression at level cap, and I have heard nothing about Trion planning to increase that cap anytime soon. So, with that in mind, why would you want to take away from that progression, when it is all we have? Sure, it's grindy, but what MMO isn't grindy to some degree?

When you have no PAs left to earn (either from completing all planes, or if the OP got their wish, lessening the work needed to fill out only the planes you wanted for a given Role), what is left to do at level cap? You'll have all your gear by then, so with no PA levels left to earn, Trion would have an ever-increasing number of players leaving because they had nothing left to do in the game, which is obviously a bad thing.

Leave PAs as they are.
