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

[Nuru]

all they have currently stated defacto, is that each class will only unlock one job, the next question is, is it locked to the job that unlocked it, the probable answer is yes, but since the system isnt out yet, and they have avoided announcing if that is the case, there remains a possibility for it not to be locked to one class only.

Perhaps not locked to that class only, but to a select few classes.

I'd rather see what changes they are actually making to the classes themselves before making judgement on which jobs are better equipped with which class.

I'm pretty sure the devs cleared that up already and they said 1 job per class.

No, just one job for one class. The example makes it clear that they are talking about unlocks. Pairing jobs and classes once unlocked is still unclear.

They did indeed.

I don't really get why people think the current classes are going to lose much. Even if they specialise in one area, the base class will probably function -pretty much- like they do now. I.e. a conjurer that can only specialises in BLM will still be able to use the spells they have no as a conjurer. The WHOLE point of keeping the base classes was that they were good for solo, and then the jobs were good for parties.

That said, I'm as disappointed as anyone that it's one job per class. I want my lil' conjurer to be able to be WHM or BLM depending on the situation.

Also, I honestly doubt it'll work like Conjurer is BLM and Thaum is WHM, just because Conjurer has the classic WHM spells. Unless they switch the sacrifice stuff and all of that with cures etc, I'd expect Thaumaturge to get a job that suits it's style more, even if it's a new one. Something like Martyr, a healer that uses self-sacrifice or something would certainly make more sense than slapping WHM on it and calling it done.

Of course, we don't know how spells are going to shift around and that.

I don't want jobs to be able to move between classes, I want each class to get a series of individual roles that all have unique character and style. Considering XIV's predecessor currently has 20 jobs, I don't think boosting the current 7 coming up to 14 is that crazy, it's probably more to do with the workload involved.

I'll feel sorry for all the people playing Conjurer Now because they wanted to be an Elementalist if all the elemental spells get moved to Thaumaturge and they have no level in thaum. Or vice versa if its the cures that move.

You're making assumptions and treating them as if they're fact, again. We don't know how it's going to work yet. They might even let people reassign levels after this, assuming they don't make an exception to the 1-job rule for magic classes.

I agree with this, I dont understand why we get only 1 job per class. If Conjurers only turn into white mages (which is wierd because they get the only elemental nukes) then whats the point to playing the conjurer? Your advanced class is a white mage so you might as well make conjurer a white mage and totally abolish the class. Why give us the option to specialize in a certain area per class if you only have one option?

Because WHite Mage will suck at solo and very low-man content, how are you guys not getting this yet? (Not saying I support 1-class-per-job and vice versa, but it's not rocket science.)

You know what the word "IF" means? because I'm pretty sure I used it.

And that would be a derp by me. That said, I don't think it would make much sense for them to transfer them considering the relationship Conjurers have with elementals.

I know. But if the few skills they do move around, because they said they were, Are the single reason a person is playing a certain class as their main get moved around. That persons going to be pissed.

They sure are. I suppose if people DO bitch enough they might allow level redistribution between the classes they changed.
