How would you feel if they scrapped the current "classes"?

Ranged weapon slot. I don't like being confined to throwing weapons as every class but archer.

Well you can switch to using a bow when you need to use a bow.

You have to disengage the mob in order to do so, but in FFXI it drained your TP to zero too, so it's not like you weren't sacrificing anything in that situation either.
