[dev 1032] What's wrong with job/subjob again?

Sure it's not unique in the MMO world, but it still provided cross-job skills with balance.
Anyone else want the FFXI system back?

I like the current system, it just needs some limitations, like only being able to draw from 2-3 different classes on top of your main. Mix that with a few other changes, like making more spells worthwhile and affinity balancing, and you've got yourself a solid way to do things.

I think there should be some sort of UI to select 1-2 specific classes that you may choose skills from.. and the combination chosen should change your class name. For example gladiator + conjurer would yield the class name Paladin.

That would be great!

I like the idea of being able to choose 2 classes that makes a completely new one, this i would really vote for, but i dont know about others.

I think to many like the current system

It could possibly work like advanced classes in FFXI.. Quest for the ability to combine 2 of the classes to make the new one (given that both classes met a level requirement)

I am for this.

Maybe. The only problem is that leads to very few avenues for creating a new job. The only time you'll see a difference is when you combine a DoW with a DoM. I don't really see a Marauder & Pugilist, Gladiator & Lancer, and Archer & Thaumaturge making any new job what so ever. It's best and far less complicated to just introduce a new job in future expansions like they did previously.

The concept is there as for class names and specific - those seem to be changing regardless. And whats wrong with an archer/caster hybrid? (archer/thamauture) I'm sure we cold make up a name for that ;). Marauder + Pugilist could use staves a la Monk

I would love sub job system, that was fantastic
