Dual purpse classes/jobs

[Enfarious]

Hold the phone. You're saying that aside from WAR, jobs are suited to one specific specialization?

...Sounds like things are working as advertised. Nothing to see here, folks.

Yeah except the part where war isn't ... or everything else isn't?

WAR is a tank. WAR is a DD.

Get over it. Otherwise go play some other game.

Say something productive or stfu

Moving on though.
Someone nailed it, I just don't see why one job is successful as 2 roles but no others are.
Points made about other jobs having other purposes, except drg (poor poor drg), those purposes aside from brd aren't really put to use, yes whm buffs and heals, by my way of thinking that's support which is a single role. Perhaps that's where the real problem lies, I didn't say "Nerf WAR it's the only way" I just said "it's broken as is".

Maybe I misspoke about brds throughout history in rpgs, perhaps they've always been awesome DDs, ones that used heavy dmg weapons rather than rogue like tactics, I just can't seem to think of any. I did mention "song and dance ROGUES" before though didn't I? Rogue covering roles like thf, assassin, and various other "dirty dealing, back stabbing" DD jobs. I can't remember a brd that ran w/ a g.axe or a g.swd, I may just be missing something my bad then. Not to say they couldn't do those things, they just didn't and mostly still don't, isn't really the point of the thread but oh well lol

I'd be in favor of separating WAR's DD and tank sides so that the party bringing the WAR is either bringing a tank or bringing a DPS, but not both.
