Jobs start @50?

[Sephr]

Jobs won't have levels and as such won't need to be leveled up. Jobs are an advanced form of the class that unlocks them. So for example purposes, a level 50 Gladiator would be a level 50 Paladin. (Example only!)

Also we can confirm that we'll be changing the term "ranks" (as in rank 50 Pugilist) to "levels" (as in level 50 Pugilist) along with the removal of the physical level. We'll also be changing skill points to experience points.

In summation:
Rank > Level
Skill points > Experience points

Thanks for finally killing the ridiculous 'job not locked to class' thing. It was unrealistic, would suck to balance, and generally went completely against the idea of 'specialisations'.

Edit: Jesus christ, how have people not grasped what this system is going to be yet? Stop thinking of Paladin as separate from Gladiator! Paladin IS GLADIATOR with the addition of some new abilities that are classics of the paladin archetype, and will be used to SPECIALISE GLADIATOR into a more effective tanking role, probably at the loss of damage.

It's NOT a separate thing, it's just a choice that Gladiators have.
