    I would be hesitant on changing classes during the fight. Fighting a mob tank dies => dd changes to tank => tank unweakens gets hate back => dd changes back to dd.

    sorta would make things really easy if you could just cover for who died, I sorta like the cannot change class while engaged. Ability's you can change as long as you are not engaged so I see nothing wrong there. It would be a nice thing with armory system, but there would have to be a horrible penalty to stats after a switch for it not to be abused, like all dmg delt halved, cures halved, and dmg taken doubled for 3mins.

    I sorta hate the cannot disband or join when engaged I know why it is there but it is still annoying. The instances where people forget to save the node on a nm fight or someone dcs in a big fight has happened to my linkshell multiple times.

    I agree on this point. All it would do is open up a can of worms from both a gameplay perspective and an encounter balance perspective. I'd rather people select what they want to do before starting the fight and going from there.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
