Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

[Cairdeas]

You must not play FFXIV.

Your class changes to Gladiator when you equip a sword.

Your class changes to Conjurer or Thaumaturge depending on what kind of staff you equip.

And all those are are special names to say things like "Sword User" Gladiators name in Japanese litterally means "Sword User" it isn't "Gladiator" in japanese. Its the word for "Sword" the word for "Art" and the Word for "Professional" all stuffed together.

Its not some special class like you see in Wow. Where a "Death Knight" is a collection of specific skills and weapon choices and talent trees that strictly define yourself.

It litterally means "I use a sword."

It doesn't define your role in combat, it doesn't define anything but what weapon you use and how your stats are reflected.
