    Default Change "Class" icon for Multiclass characters?

    I was wondering why this isn't already an option... Shouldn't we be allowed to change witch class we show up as, under certain conditions?

    For example: If someone has 6 or more levels in a class, they may change their icon to that class. However, they may not change their icon from a class they have, oh say, 14 or more levels in?

    I personally am running a 12/6/2 - Artificer/Ranger/Monk. And it gets a little awkward when people start asking "deadly plz".

    I know there are other builds that suffer from similar little issues. I'm sure the Munkcherz wouldn't mind changing their icon to 'Ranger'?

    What do you think?...

    A lot less disappointing to say I can't to that, than to Deadly.

    I believe that the icon is to show for what past life you're getting.

    As for the people asking for deadly, well, you can ask them to supply the scrolls or have them check your bio for your split :P
    P.S. I'd rather have enchant weapons :P

    on my 8 arti/6 rogue/6 ranger I just stated "not a pure Arti, don't have Deadly" the repsonse to this has always been "Ok" and we move on. Not a big deal in my experience.

    I agree.

    Extreme example, fvs icon. No, I can't heal you. Why? I don't have the heal spell. You have 4th tier cure spells just like I do, use them.

    Same here. When I'm on a multiclass character, I'll just say I can't do "whatever" and people generally just go "KK" and that's it. I don't even see many people automatically assuming that everyone is pure class anymore - a good thing, IMO.

    You could still do it, I suppose (the change the OP wants), but the current mechanic makes it very clear what PL you're going to get. Would hate to start opening up confusion about that.

    Actually, with the new system, the Life-Shaper shows you in full detail witch PL feat you're gonna get, before you confirm to TR. I think that's pretty clear.

    (Granted it's less convenient to run to the Hall of Heroes in order to check.)

    Ah, good point. Well, I don't feel very strongly either way, then.

    I'd love it if this was an option but I see no need for it to require "at least 6 levels"

    Maybe icons based on roles instead of classes. Ie: Melee Dps, Ranged Dps, Tank, Crowd Control, Nuker, Healer, etc.

    Was going to say it should have a min to prevent people from going around pretending to be a class they have one level of when their build is something unassociated with that class, but then I remembered joining a lfm gives the leader your full split anyways.

    I think it would be nicer if there was a way to display both or all three class icons as an option, but don't feel it's a huge change.
