Why do we have classes AND jobs again?

[Ralliare]

They need to make classes distinct enough to warrant using them.

Nothing more, nothing less.

That's the opposite of what they're supposed to be. They're supposed to be free to be what you want to be and do. JOBS are supposed to be the distinct things with a set role.

I think what she means is distinct in its versatility, so that there is a reason to play them. Right now asides from extra skills and a bit of more freedom, they bear too much of a similarity to jobs.

They just need to make class-specific abilities which can be used across all the classes with effects aimed at class-play to make it more idle to use. That's the 'something' I want classes to be distinct at. Not a specialisation in a role, but something that emphasises the versatility of classes.
