No More Classes?

Well, in this system, if you're a DPS with a healer class, you will not be as good as a full DPS and you will not heal like a healer. If you're MND specd, your dps lowers, if you're STR, INT, DEX specd, you won't be so good at healing (maybe people complained on version 1.0, but there's a larger base of players now).

Would MND really matter if a party of 8 stacked 8 Medica II? Or even just 2 or 3 stacks? This same logic could be applied to Medica and Cure III. Throw a Bard or two and some Shroud of Saints into the party and you have an Self-Healing Machine.

And wouldn't it be awesome?!! Tottaly unbalanced and all, but awesome the same way...

I played Archer in game Coil 1 and 2 via DF (I know pissed a lot of peolpe off) at item lv 114 I saw very little stat drop off...maybe 1%. With the added skills I could carry Rasie and quick cast,virus and others it came in handy in many battles with two Whms without virus. I havn't tried Coil 3 yet, I doubt anyones going to let me play Archer outside of PF. Archer seems to be a very good class to mix and match on for skills with its built in high mana.

I mentioned Bards because they have Mage's Ballad to regain the party's MP.
Also, I don't think Raise would be very good on an Archer, seeing as they can't use it during battle (needs a Conjurer's trait for that).

Raise needs this trait, but Ressurrect doesn't. Maybe it was just for shorten things... Maybe...

Resurrect isn't a cross class skill though... >3>

BS, Raise is a skill that can only be used outside a battle unless you're a lv28+ CNJ.

I believe the current battle system we have now is gonna be changed to fit the current class/job system and the new job only system. Saying this, I believe 3.0 will bring as much as 2.0 did, so expect the game as we know it now to be changed.

Also, I have a ALT that is a bard, and without playing archer, by playing bard right, foe requiem + battlevoice, not to mention the stat decrease. I would notice a good percent of overall DPS lost.

I don't think so. They kinda cancelled the game on 1.0 and released a new game on 2.0. In the expansion 3.0, the old content has to be available to everyone who didn't buy the expansion, right? And people with the expansion and the people without it should be able to interact amongst themselves...
My guess is that there will be new content, and even changes in some of the old content, but it's gonna still be the same game.
