A number of factors will help determine the overall flavor of your preferred build. Among them will be your class, your focus and armor stats. You have 5 different armor categories: Head, Chest, Hands, Class and Feet. In the picture above, Warlock Deckard has a "Summersong Bond", which is a "Common Titan Mark", in his "Class" armor slot. The "Class" category appears to allow other classes to [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bPOZBhRY340/Ur3f5ncTqdI/AAAAAAAAALE/RLalC6ofyh0/s1600/TLUPTREE.jpg]access class bonuses for certain pieces of equipment[/url], such as Thunderlord. It may also allow other classes access to loot drops specific to other classes (such as a Warlock getting a Heavy Machinegun). At this time, this is all merely speculation based on a few observations of game mechanics, & it is unknown what, if any, sort of other bonuses it grants to the character.

[quote]Hi everyone, Probably gonna annoy a lot of people but whatever. If anyone can clarify. In a video i watched from bungie about how they will add the RPG element. There is mention that guns will be unique (also mentioned in the main "through the wall" game play trailer") so. Does this mean that only one person can own the thunder lord? Could be any weapon but as this is the main one we know about i'm using it as an example. So yes seeing as unique means one of a kind, only one person can have it? or could we all go beat that boss in the video and get it? in both instances its highly disappointing as in the first instance only one person can own it which is terrible. Or in the second instance, anyone can get it which therefore makes it not unique and probably quite a poor weapon choice? so if anyone can clarify please do. Also with regards to classes. Are there more than just the 3? Or will the 3 be a lot more.... supple than we believe? For example as much as the hunter is the "sniper" and the warlock is the mage, could we not be a healer sniper? or a heavy healer? or a mage sniper??[/quote] To answer your first question, exotics will be very few and far between, but theoretically, we can all own any of them. I imagine that they will have an exceptionally low drop rate, though it has not been clarified as to whether (like WoW as an example) one boss in particular will drop specific weapons or gear. My guess would be that some weapons could have the same stats, though could possibly have different names and appearances. As to your second question, there will only be 3 classes, however each class will have different focus options so you can customize them as you see fit. There has been little info given as to what these foci will be for the different classes, but from what we know you could indeed have a 'lock that could be a mage/sniper combo, or sniper/healer. Once they release more info on the foci, we'll have a better idea as to the full extent of the different builds available for each class. Hopefully this answered your questions somewhat. Again, once more information is released we should have a better idea of what to expect.

All classes can use all guns. So technically you could be a heavy warlock but you can only pick one of the three class types. As for loot drops, in theory everyone could own the exotic weapons, we could all have the same gun. But loot drops are class and level specific. Meaning you may not get the same gun as someone else in your fireteam after doing a mission. We could have the same character (I.e. exo warlock) and get different guns from the loot drops. But as for classes and races, there are only 3 of each. Exo, human, awoken (races) and hunter, titan, warlock (classes). You can only choose one race and one class. But in game you can have more than one character so it isnt too big of a deal.
