Swapping builds in a Task Force?

Hi all,

is it possible to swap builds whilst on a task Force?

I would like a damage build for Defeat Alls and a stealth for Click the Glowies or a Healing/Buff-DeBuff build for support and to use different builds during the TF.

And I could have access to another box of Insps!

Cheers and thanks.

Prior to I15 it certainly was possible.

I have not tried it since then, but there has been no mention of a change

It's possible. Did so on a Psyche TF the other night.

Just remember there is a 15 minute timer to it, and your inspirations don't change so what ever you had for build one is gonna be there when you switch to build 2

Thanks!
You still have to see a trainer to swap builds. If you're in a mish,you'd have to exit, otherwise just hit one between missions.

But to the OP: yeah.. the 15 min timer would make this idea useless for most TFs I'm on. XD

Just walk up to the trainer. If you level during a task force, you'd have to visit the trainer if you want your new power or slots.

The ITF is a good one for switching builds mid TF because the trainer is right by most of the mission doors. most of the time though, the mission could be completed faster then the trip to the trainer to switch builds in the first place...

I dont mind the time limit for build switches, but after spending all the time and effort to respec two builds I would like a little more control over when I can switch them... having to visit the trainer each time is lame.

Build switching should be like costume switching- on a timer but accessible at any time without help of a trainer. 15 minute timer is enough to prevent abuses.

Trainers you can talk to. It's all contacts but the TF contact you won't be able to talk to.

Agreed. I love the fact multiple builds were implemented, but I dislike the mechanic to switch builds. I have no problem with the timer aspect, that's fine, but a visit to the trainer is kinda lame. IMO.

I'd love to see build switching as a power with one of the costume packs.

Hi guys,

or a new Vet reward?

Or some form of reward like the AE accolade that allows you to access the AE system from anywhere. On the end of the new TF's say?

Cheers

I think that's unlikely. Switching builds on the fly would be a major game-changing feature, and the devs don't want to have those as veteran rewards or booster packs.
