No More Classes?

[Bishop81]

None of these new Jobs have Classes attached to them. Do we hate Classes now? Arcanist is my favorite thing in the game right now because it's playing with a base skill set in very different ways. I love the dynamism and was hoping we'd see more like that with the other existing classes. Instead it looks like we're setting up to do away with them completely! I really hope that's not the case.

I believe they are getting rid of classes and cross-class skills in general - not killed outright but left to die a "natural death" via neglect; they will get more and more useless as they add more and more abilities to Jobs.

"Configurability" makes it harder to balance for raiding.

Personally I find such design boring, but ... /shrug

Swiftcast will never be useless. If you think it will then you obviously don't heal.
