Classes & Jobs

[syntaxlies]

Ok so i see your main class on your info is a cnj... it's pretty decent for soloing correct i know it's not the greatest but you can solo. You still have your Aero and Stone spells. Now if you go an unlock whm (this is purely spec at this point in time since I don't know what spells the whm is going to have) and you don't have those spells anymore. your main concentration is healing healing healing. You really can't solo very well you're mainly with parties so you can get your levels. That's how for some that soloing on class is better than job. Same could go with blm yeah you have all the nuking power in the world but when you're getting attacked you won't have the chance to survive due to lack of healing spells.

Again this at this point in time it is just a speculation but it is a possibility unless they allow the blm to have access to the class abilities that you already have also . *shrugs* Just one way it they might do it.

Conjurers are a casting class known for their specialization in healing and defense-enhancing magic. They also possess some skill with elemental magic, granting them a degree of offensive ability, and can put single targets to sleep, providing a valuable source of control. White mages are powerful casters whose talents enable them to fully restore the HP of all party members in a mere instant. Beyond healing, they can also apply their MP towards attack magic, granting them extremely powerful offensive abilities.

I'm excited about jobs either way and I hope they keep moving in that direction

I'd bet anything that eventually they'll announce the elimination of classes, and reworking the job system, to include skills that were provided by those classes.

Somehow I have a feeling this will happen also.

maybe after they come out theyll rebalance the classes to have them make more sense. i see the biggest adjustments needed on glad and mages to make their soloing more of a soloable DD role.

I agree. Cleric stance on CNJ makes me feel like they're at least aware that a solo dps build needs to be available.

whm heals, heal stats increased def lowered, cnj solo, raise def, raise DD, lower healing magic

pld is tank raise def raise mp lower attack, glad attack is already low, so id raise it alot, lower def

blm would raise nuking lower def, thm should raise healing, nuking is good, raise def

doing something along the line of this would allow classes to solo better and make thier job counterpart mean more. i know stats will change for jobs to make them better, but classes need to be balanced for easier soloing since thats what they say they are for.

This stuff sounds good on paper I hope it is a concept that works well. Solo'ing is more efficient on classes, grouping is more effective while on jobs. Two types of gameplay. Maybe classes will be dominant in PVP and Jobs will be of bigger use in PVE.

This could very well be the case. Especially if switching to a job locks out many of your abilities, limiting you to the role that that job was designed for.

Though, even if that were the case, team-based PvP would still be dominated by jobs.
