imo this its a nice feature. by fake ranks I mean be able to take a rank from other tree but with some restrictions.
like for example if I am an AA archer like the actual bullet maker and i need chose the next rank of AAbullet maker. maybe its betther for them take a “fake rank” of linker. this rank must give some skills of the 3 circlesa. but obviusly if they take this it will be to improbe theyr AA build. with Joint penaly and hangman so and because its only one rank teyr must chose to max the joint penalty or use others skills fron the linker tree.
in other example, if i have a AA mage like an enchanter 2. and enchanter 3 only gives a litle bit more of damage to ligthning hands instead of take enchanter 3 and increase the damage of ligthning hands from 500% to 600%
may be they can choce a “Fake Rank” of corsair and become a full AA magical Swordman , if theyr use their 15 skills poins on double weapon assaul
resume. in rank 10-11 implement a “FAKE RANK” who will be “LIKE” the third rank of some classes and gives acces to some skills of that class to another diferent class tree
and i think that the FAKE RANK classes must be some like the nice classes forgotten for theyr useless on theyr own tree, because they are out of the meta builds. maybe like rogue , barbarian, every C3 class used since the begining of the game
