    I agree with this. What could a Ranger bring to the table that an Archer couldn't? Possibly a pet, but wouldn't that be more like a Beastmaster anyways? I think a bow-wielding Bard sounds like an interesting twist for the job.

    And we've arrived, full-circle, to my claim on page one that Ranger, being not "ranged attack" but "ranges (the verb) a territory," chances are it'll be more like a BST. Way to bring that logic home, you two ^u^ -- I am still pretty surprised there's been no official activity prodded by all the barcher talk.

    I may be excited to try a class that doesn't even exist, afterall.

    But it isn't a bard, it's an archer.


    What they should have done is create jobs as a layer ABOVE classes, allowing any job to use any weapon. This would allows players to switch between multiple weapons (classes) during battle. If they added bard as a class, you could switch between both bow (archer) and harp (bard) during battle, without the need for a crazy harpbow hybrid to make it possible.

    Seems like an oversight or step in the wrong direction.
