Jobs and Class, I am nervous now.

Can I ask why?

I find it unfair that a class with armor, can take more hits, and isn't held back by Mana can outdamage the class that has none of those. Kinda the whole risk/reward deal.

I wouldn't mind to see BLM trade away more defence for stronger spell capabilities, I always enjoy the style of "glass cannon" while playing a mage character no matter which game.
It makes you think twice about pulling aggro, taking uneccesary damage or play smart to avoid heavy meele enemies which can cleave you in half with 1 or 2 blows.
I've always found it exciting both in PVE and PVP settings, and for me its what defines a wizard and mage type characters who usualy dress in cloth, robes or leather, offence is the best defence sorta deal x)

I wonder if Ancient magic spells will share the same timer still. Thought it was a dumb decision before their removal. I hope it's still not shared, otherwise I think freeze will be the only worth while spell since it drops some hate.

BLM doesn't have to take hits. It stays safe out of enemy range. Just like ARC now, that's what balances out with their extra resource and low stamina.

One thing that has always bugged me is the fact that spells now do debuffs. Now at this point in time SE has pretty much taken out the debuff spells, and added them into the con, thm etc spells. I find this very disappointing, as myself and I am sure other would agree that debuff should remain as spell not an add on w a spell. Theres other reasons for this as well but I am sure most of you know of red mage. The other reason is probably to do with the bar command setup instead of going w a drop down menu.

Now one thing that stands out is the class and or job system. This is basicly another version of the FFXI main/sub job set up but w a spin off added. They are basicly 2 different types 1 a a class the other is a job. It would seem instead of going the route of class and or jobs, SE should have just gone w main/subjob combinations. With the current class and jobs we are limited with what we have and are allowed to do with abilities and such. After reading some of these posts and as 1 member did state some players when there is 2 healers 1 will go con 1 whm same with arc and brd.

Now that brings me to blm as it will not be able to cure itself or cast stoneskin (true or untrue we will find out) is not something I look forward too. The spells have been cut down to the point that we have very few single target spells or we have spells that aoe. We have no control over if the spell will be single or aoe. Even in past final fantasy games players could do single target or aoe, we had a choice, now we dont. Now I find this disturbing as I would rather have #1 the choice to aoe a spell or #2 have another group that is specificly aoe (FFXI comes to mind). Again this comes back to the fact that SE went with a combat bar instead of a drop down menu or something similar.
