Job Personalization: Can I Have It?

[Bishop81]

Definitely appreciate you taking the time do so, though *thumbs up* Truthfully in theory your ideas sound good. But as it was already pointed out, anyone who wants to main the 3 new jobs are completely left out because they have no base class. And they could just swap to one of the different classes to do the content, but then that clashes with your idea of people being able to play how they want to play. I feel if we're going to add new customization for the game it needs to include all of the classes/jobs somehow. The new jobs are already getting a lot of flak. I wouldn't want to gimp them even further.

The alternative is to just forget about Classes. Extend the number of cross-class skills Jobs can take and let the "skill book" acquired skills be unusable in raids. This may or may not require some additional programming though and is one more thing that the game needs to check before letting a skill go off.

Or ...

They could tied DRK to MRD, ASH to CNJ and MSH to a new gun wielding Class[1] locking out/changing specific Class skills when you switch to Job - there is already precedence for this with ACN; you can't summon Carbuncles anymore as Summon/Summon II change in functionality, in addition to certain skills becoming worthless, e.g. Physick.
