If I wanted to create a Fighter/Scoundrel hybrid there seems no way to begin with both a dagger and a shield.
Is release going to add the option to pick your starting weapon combos, because Daggers seem bad without a shield in the off hand (dagger only = 2 hits for half damage, dagger + shield = 1 hit for full, since absorb takes more off the 2 hits, wielding a starter shield seems superior).
Also I can't seem to examine status effects since the only way to show them on an enemy is mouse over, so your cursor is stuck there and unable to go view the status to see what it's doing.
