Dual classing for the sake of the skills?

    Does anyone dual class just for the sake of the first class' skills? Lets say you use a kensai, then automatically change to a thief or mage just so you can get the grand mastery; choose a priest of Talos just for the lightning and storm shield before dualing to mage? Or creating a thief to dual him into a fighter just so you wont need a thief later, just so you have the skills without building him up? (All this without doing any levelling up.

    Some questions here about dual-classing, if let's say a Kensai/mage, will u get the bonuses the Kensai provide (like -1 speed factor for every four lvls) while in mage form? Or all bonuses will be halt when the chac dual-class?

    And for the high level abilities, which pool will u get? Both or only the second class.

    Howabout the stronghold? Which stronghold will u get? The first class or the second class or both available to choose? Thanks

    [​IMG] - Bonus for first class WILL halt and be available to you after your second class exceeds you first one
    - Only HL abilities of second class
    - You may choose your stronghold. Whatever you do first (possible exception: fighter stronghold)

    For sure. I have a Priest of Talos/Thief. Can't wait for UAI so that he can backstab with celestial fury and summon a fallen Deva. Some dual classing is awesome, eg. Assassin/Fighter. Explosive gibbing backstabs...
