Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

[Rydin]

Jobs are for party... Classes are for soloing... I know, I know
But no one will be using Glad, for example for anything.. even solo... wont even happen...

Correction:

Jobs are for Full Parties, or relatively large parties, where each player can focus on a single role and be completely dependent on their teammates for other things.

Classes are for solo and Light Parties where due to there being less people each player has to be able to fulfill multiple roles and be more independent the less party members they have to help.

____________________________

Also, as a side note, while some people chose to focus on the only real info we have about jobs thus far - the skills they will receive - I'm sure there will be much more significant differences between a class and it's job based on stats and even gear that will clearly define where it is best to use one over the other and make them noticeably different from each other.

That's the reason for a lot of the questions in the OP. Not only are they there for the devs and reps to look at and know what we want to know, but also to demonstrate to the forum-goers and players how much we still don't know about jobs and thus stimulate some discussion.

Also, my sincere thanks to everyone trying to keep the thread on topic.

I know... I still just can't imagine why someone would want to be a Glad and not Palladin... even solo, I don't see anyone choose the class over the job in that situation

If the PLD hits like a wet noodle, does not have access to cross-class skills like Invigorate, Featherfoot, Second Wind, and Keen Flurry... probably wouldn't be a good solo choice.

Featherfoot and second wind fail compared to PLD having it's own heal and being IMPERVIOUS to physical attacks....
Keen Flurry? Really?

Do we know what the duration and cooldown of that skill is?
