Why not abolish the Class system entirely in favor of Jobs? [@ Devs]

[Cedri]

To me solo skills would be about self preservation and job skills would be about damage for dd, tanking for tank ect. The reason you wouldnt use a class in party would be, no traits so a lot of your abilitys would be nerfed and a mager loss of damage output

It's all give take basically.

The key to make it work is applying traits to the job and not the class. If they don't do that then 2 different skill set would just become situational. Although I still think jobs would excel if classes got skills and lost them for job skills. Solo you should be able to deal damage at a fair pace while maintaining your hp by yourself. In a party you need to max dd and relay on someone else to heal you. If the skills are catered to these needs then it would work.
