I leveling archer not for bard but for range capability and although i like the speed ability, I'd prefer to stay archer up until SE introduces a new job for the class. I want guns and I want crossbows, I want a new job and I want now(2.0 or beyond). Get creative, pull a rabbit out of a hat, do something FF-team, give us a choice. Bard isn't going to cut it and I'll stay as archer in protest. I sure it's more versatile. Chop-chop!
Here's where I hate the armory sytem. IMO they should just scrap classes completely and stick to jobs.
Why?

Primarily because with the armory system currently in play.....
An Archer has Barrage, Quick Knock, Chameleon, Piercing Arrow etc etc.
A Bard has Barrage, Quick Knock, Chameleon, Piercing Arrow etc etc.
A Ranger would have Barrage, Quick Knock, Chamelon, Piercing Arrow etc etc.
A Sniper would have Barrage, Quick Knock, Chameleon, Piercing Arrow etc etc.

And the same would be true of GLA with PLD DRK and anything else they may add. at present it sems if multiple jobs do eventually come out they're all going to feel the same pretty much. Follow the same trait paths with mostly the same abilities. it seems to be a very restricted system. which is very different from its design concept i think
