Support Infiltrator: Deployables, Med/Repair, as far as I can get into Engi and hacking (or some equivalent of it)

or pure Pilot: Which ever craft will provide good air to ground support, and a Gal pilot as well.

I'm just not that into standard infantry vs infantry combat anymore, and I don't have to be in Planetside 2 : )

Air Combat Specialist Focus Mainly on Air to Air but definatly a lot of ground support as well.

Secondary role of Sniper.

From what I've read though it seems that every time you respawn / hit equip term you can change your certs. IF you have the time invested in the skills to use those certs.

Leading my outfit. All other distractions are secondary.

Destroying noobs is always great fun, but I don't want to deter people away from the game because I weapon stats are vastly superior to their default weapon.
This, essentially. Though I don't think a noob will be able to tell that they're losing because of 20% more power. :x

Cloaker/support and AA.

I live to see our guys have spawn points up the enemies' noses, not 5000m away, to see them healthy, repaired, and ready, and to see our pilots rule the skies while the ground is littered with enemy airplanes bearing the charred remains of their pilots' faces contorted into dessicated masks of screaming agony.

More gunning, less running. If I notice that air is too prevalent, I might just take a short vacation and visit some friends in a poor country, set up a team that I pay good wages for their part of the world, but still affordable, and do nothing but rape every blamed enemy pilot out of the sky before he can get within 1000m of our forces.

However, I would hate to see the enemy factions shriek and gibber to the devs that because someone was actually using it correctly, as a TEAM< that AA was overpowered, and now our faction's AA had to be reduced to the effectiveness of Nerf guns shooting flavored Jell-O cubes.

Oh, and avoiding being in outfits led by little Hitlers who have to have it their stupid, inefficient, costly, no-tactical-smarts-whatsoever way or they will have a tantrum and fling their diaper around and kick you from the outfit.

Straight up squad leader & commander tree(s), obviously. I will of course dabble in tank driver and light assault infantry. Depends on how easy it is to get some of the basic stuff. I might just build out some of the basic roles so I can fill what is needed then go balls deep into squad leader / commander.

Tankbuster. Whether it's from the air, or an AV grunt. I love making an armor column do a 180 and run back to momma.

Well then, I hope we meet on the battlefield someday. I specialize in Patton.

20% just seems like a pretty significant percentage. If they lowered it to 5-10% it wouldn't be quite as daunting to me.

That's an extremely specialized vet versus a complete noob. I don't support it, but I don't think it will be very noticeable.

They could change it during beta. Its all about balance. You never know.
