Discuss the Abolishment of the Armoury System and Classes

[Estellios]

Oh boy another Neptune thread

Note that I didn't say request in the title.

This is a serious proposal with effects that would be wide ranging and irreversible.

Anyways, we need to wait and see how exactly Jobs will be restricted before we cry for classes to disappear. Being able to use out-of-class actions is a pretty big deal consdering currently a great deal of what you use on your bar probably comes from other classes.

Focusing what a class learns makes it easier to figure out what you have to level in order to get certain sets of abilities. With the changes if you want damage mitigation, you level GLA, if you want Healing, you level CNJ, etc. Currently you have to level multiple classes and in the end most of your classes probably have the exact same action bar setup except for the class's exclusive weapon skill.

Also don't forget that there are still more classes in the pipeline that are bound to have much different functions than the ones we have currently that could open up what you can do in solo/lowman situations with your class.

Edit: And Yoshida has not backed out on his word or lied or anything. CNJ's are still elementally aligned (even moreso since the devs intend to focus them on Wind/Water/Earth) just with a healing focus. THM's are still masters of Destruction and most people probably played them as such since for a long time their nukes have been better. Anyways it's not anything that hasn't been said already in the endless CNJ/THM WHM/BLM threads we had for months.

+1 to this ^

So seriously, Neptune, you want SE to stop developing game content to fix something that is not broken.

Yeah... good luck with that.
