Idea: Split Archer into Bard and Ranger

[Noelzzz]

Actually, yes I do. Unless it completely changes your role, you're still doing to be using the same archer skills to dps and it will not deviate far from how bard plays. The two classes will never compete for a dps slot with each other because BRD/MCH are considered the "support-dps" in group comp and are the only two classes who can do such. 10 skills will not change how a class plays, only add onto it.

You are wrong Rice. Lets take the 2 melee classes with the combo system: Rogue and Lancer. Without the jobs skills these classes plays pretty much the same, you know that, do you? So, jobs skills are what make you change how you play a class. going forward they will only add jobs skills, this means that branching jobs will be even more viable.
Ps: for me the ranger, as a physical dps, could even take second melee spot in a party composition
