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

Spoke to the dev. team to try and wrangle some more details regarding the upcoming job system. The current thinking is to have one job for one class. So for example, if you are a gladiator, the job you could unlock would be paladin, etc. Right now, we can't give any further details about the possibility of having multiple jobs per class.

To try and stave off the coming flood of "So if gladiator becomes paladin, then what will xyz class unlock?" You'll have to stay tuned for more details in the future!

That essentially makes gladiator obsolete. So why even have it in the first place?

Kind of stupid.

Jobs should just be role specialisations which any class can perform.

Gladiator would still do enough damage to solo, paladin sacrifices damage output for damage mitigation and hate control.

( assumptions of course are being made here )

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?

I was thinking multiple jobs per class so people can branch off into their favorite role. Conjurers that want to nuke go blm, healers go whm. I know this has been brought up time and time again as "well what about X class". Thats for the developers to decide, we still have arcanist guild after all.

Gladiators could branch off into a dps class or tank class, etc etc.

You guys have to remember they stated they are changing the class abilities around so Con its self might not even be the same. Also complaining now is pointless everyone knew drastic changes where coming so there is no point in being mad you might have to play CON this way now or don't play it at all.
