Well I was not surprised with the news that "classes" are going to be extinct. However, I see them being prereqs while the job they unlock won't borrow from (most) of the skills of the base or prereq classes.

That said, got MAR up to 30 and about to hit 30 on my GLD. ... I hate GLD... SnS is stupid... flash is stupid, their skills are stupid... so so so many skills they have. Better class story and fights... but yeah. Unlocking PLD and calling it a day on GLD/PLD.

Only shield character I like in anything is Captain America. He's rocking the MNK/GLD something real hard.
