Rerolling shouldn't lose profession skills

While 1 character slot solves many issues, theres a huge issue. Rerolling completely screws you. Heres why.

Currently with the reworked primaries, you virtually have 1 combat toon and 2 skillers (because some things are now secondary's, you can fit around 2 characters worth of skills). Heres how it would work in mo1, vs now.

MO1- You want to delete your fighter and make a mage. These are obviously different race builds, so its probobly not worth keeping the same character. Luckily, you dont need to delete your max armor crafter and extractor, because they are their own characters. You only lose your fighter.

MO2- And the issue- If you want to delete your thursar fighter and make a sheevra mage, your completely 100% screwed. You lose your max armor crafter and extractor, because they were the same character. But you didnt want to delete these. You just wanted to make a mage.

My solution- Theres many other options. But you should be able to inherit your last characters profession skills. This way you dont have to delete your skills to maek a new build. But you still lose your action skills, so theres still a downside to re rolling.

Why reroll tokens arent the answer- In mo1 re roiling was so much easier, you didnt have to buy a token. In a game that you have to buy and sub to, and only get 1 character, having to pay just to change part of your build is just way too much.

Every single race/age combination can be a competent anything, even 80 year old warriors. Don't worry about FOTM builds and play the character you want. If you think your racial choices are a limiting factor just spend more time getting better at the gameplay loops. Build up a rep for being able to fill every role with competence without rerolling your race.

If you are of an indecisive nature, pick a human with balanced stats able to more easily sit all roles rather than one of the specialist races.

While thats a nice way of thinking and all. Its just not a reality in a full-loot PvP game. If you dont attempt to min-max you're just gimping yourself.

Just started playing today, pretty fun so far and I'm just trying out things i like to play. The problem with one character slot is that as soon as I get bored of my main character I'm going to be done with the game because I don't want to lose my mains skills just to try out new things.

Yup. Theres way too much cool stuff in this game for people to be so heavily limited. And they arent paying $10 to reroll to try new things in a game they already bought and sub to.

I feel like SV is going to figure out quickly that people arent into the buy game + sub + have to shell out rerolls model to still be heavily limited in the content they can interact with.
