So with Planetside 2 we are getting a massive massive amount of skill points it seems as far as an example of you can spec into a single tank for a year. Thats pretty ridiculous. But the idea of using the EvE skill system with such huge customization, variety, and progression... I think it could have success transfering over into a fantasy mmorpg.
Just some examples of how I would see it. Shields for starters....a large option for shields. Out of many many things you could do to it there would be different way to make it your shield. Such as little enhancements of metal to say make it more resistent to slash attacks, blocking slash attacks is more effective and has a chance of shaking the attack for a moment breaking combos. Or deep down the line your shield becomes magic resistent. And what type of material have you used or upgraded your shield.
Hopefully you can get the jist of it. I would really loved a game with the advanced customization of PS2 skill system with all the crazy stuff and advanced things in the DnD 3.5 universe, mixed with hit-to-damage combat, able to pick styles of combat and even customizable attack swings/combos all wrapped up in a MMO.
Kinda a tall order.
