A new skill! 20 sec job change! Idea.

[Martin_Arcainess]

It is pointless to change melees for others for a reason, as mnk you lose GL3 and other buffs by switching for other melees. There is no gain in changing. Same apply to others. As ranged you don't have much choice and healers and tanks too. And to not talk about the few seconds you lose by changing and waiting for cooldowns get operational, even if that worked like being in town you would lose some time to activate your buffs to do just to do 2-3 moves and revert back to the main job. I bet you didn't think about that.
And other thing would be a flashfest of changing gear and jobs during the fight which looks dumb. The way I see is the same as the lame gear swap of ffxi.
Also this. I could see already the same thing happening like how was in 1.0. Example AV run: You have blm but not mnk 50? gl in finding party

Well if I did I would have put that down. Called a oversight. It happens. But of course everyone is gonna have problems with ideas but all feed back is welcome.

Buffs wise they could be kept, so if your a MNK you can change to a DRG to get buffs from that Job then after 20 secs if you applied them again still have them on.

So thinking about it they could actually be some use of changing Roles. BLM -> SMN use dots as a SMN then revert back, SMN -> SMN low on MP? Change to Black Mage to gain back MP.

Also if some jobs are to OP when combined together could put restrictions on certain skills then 2nd Job could use.

Changing wise, it could just be Weapon since most classes share gear anyway.

This would basically make everyone required to level and gear all other jobs to participate in endgame or else they would be at a huge disadvantage. Not a fan of that at all.

I already came up with a suggestion on this, once you get a Role say, PLD to LV50 you could switch to the WAR Role even if you don't have it unlocked.

Could implant something that allows you to be that role for a few mins to set up your hotbar and get used to the skills.
