Classes are essentially useless, and we'd be much better off without them. I'd rather see SCH get their own dps skills that borrow from SMN, and I think many would rather be able to allocate bonus stats differently to SMN and SCH rather than them share a set. There's really very little legitimate reason to use a class once you have the job, and the cons heavily outweight the pros, so what's the benefit of having classes as a system to begin with?

I think they'll keep the class sytem, and just not use classes in the future. I'd rather they just junk classes altogether, though, and make the guilds solely for lore value. It sure doesn't look like they are adding a musketeer class any time soon!
