there seem to be a few complaints that this class if "half/half" or that the abilities don't match up, but isn't that the same as the amazon's bow vs spear skills? your choices were to go with bows + passives, spears + passives, or perhaps choose a few of bows + spears and have to change between the two (not very powergamey or viable as a build but good for variety). that sounds pretty similar to what's being suggested here, having this class have two different weapon styles to choose from and then some support skills. what i would love would be being able to make a class with which it's viable to put points into both weapon styles.
i love the idea of a class that is ranged and/or uses two weapons at once, with the support abilites of a paladin, or maybe the shouts of a barbarian. i understand the criticism of putting two skill trees that seem to be opposed, but essentially that's what every class has to some extent. you had to choose either to specialise and be great at one thing, or a jack-of-all-trades, whether it's which element to focus on as a sorceress, bow or spear as an amazon, or to what extent curse/spells/summons were important as a necro. i dont think that criticising a class for being half/half holds up well with the other classes so far. that's what being a hybrid class means.
