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

[Zoloe]

Why is this even an argument? Is there really concern for the way the class/job system is? Also, take a look at Archanist vs Summoner. Archanist is supposedly going to get Carbuncle while Summoner will not. Summoner will instead have several different types of small primal based summons.

Not sure if adding arc/summoner fixes the game... And as ive stated before 1.0 class job relation was flawed, I'm waiting til beta to see if they fixed it.

This is se's last chance and if you really think 1.0 class/job is gonna appeal to the masses you are dilisusional. There has to be a greater seperation between the 2 and have them perform solo/party roles as intended.

I was just using Archanist/Summoner as an example of how jobs and classes already differ from each other. Classes, while more useful for solo, can definitely be used inside parties. While fighting Ifrit, we would often go as Thaumaturge instead of Black Mage to have raise and other abilities that BLM cannot use. Actually most of the time I would be a class in a party was to have raise or cure or something to ensure my survival as well as others if they needed it. Also, it can be a bit of a challenge to try to beat stuff with classes instead of jobs.

All I'm saying is it is not broken, adding Archanist and Summoner don't fix anything, they just add to everything.

If you were doing ifrit on thm for raise then you were doing it wrong war has steel cyclone on 30 second timer with bloodbath making it the best solo skill in game. If it wnt flawed they wouldn't be fixing it so stop defending it..

Your comments about using classes in party's when they are intended for solo only further proves my point.

Hmmmm, were classes originally intended for just solo play?
