DRK/Bersk coming from gladiator just sounds plain weird. Isnt DRK, SAM etc advanced jobs, that are based on multiple jobs anyways?
I think they could add a secondary weapon slot so; lets say you're glad, and wanna play a bit of elemental sword thing, so you got some spells in your build, then you could have a wand in 2nd slot (not shield slot) that you use when casting spells.
Gandalf is running around with Staff and sword for example; whacking goblins in the head with the staff, or casting spells; slicing up someones belly with sword.
DRG for example can use pug/archer skills, but some needs class specific weps; so then you could utilize more of them. Or would that make it to powerful?
I agree with that they need to change the system somehow, would be odd to start with a capped DRK or whatever; But depends on what it's based on. If it is its own class, with own skills etc, then it should start at lv1, if it's extension of WAR or something, i guess it's fine; and you unlock skills by quests.

Hadn't heard about Parivir before, it sounds awesome! me want! So many awesome classes and jobs <3

[KayaeDrazin]

what if it takes 2 sub classes to unlock a job.

I think musketeer is a class, and not a job too. who knows.

Me too. I mean there is a guild for it. There tends to only be guilds for classes where as the jobs are an advanced form of your class. Or at least that is how I have perceived it to be. I could be wrong. O.o

Mmm second job for lancer..
It isn't FF-like but can it be... Hoplite--->lancer + gladiator

[KayaeDrazin]

If this is of any use in theorycraft...

Adventurer (unarmed)
Fencing (rapier)
Enforcer (club)
Samurai (great katana)
Stavesman (Staff)
Flayer (whip)
Shepherd (herding)
Mystic (mysticism)
Assassin (dark arts)
Ninja (Katana?)
Thief (dagger?)
Dark Knight (???)

These are the classes (or jobs) that have been brought up at least once (to my knowledge) by either a press release or dev/rep post during v1.x .

I know many things have and will change, but this list could clue us in on what other roles they had been considering as classes (or jobs, was not specified) which could realistically be balanced with those that existed at 1.0 launch, which apart from sentinel going away, has not changed a great deal.

Did they ever clarify as to what discipline Shepherd was listed under. When you look at the original chart that came out several months ago, the classes are grouped together by discipline it seems - herding being at the bottom under the DoL. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on that.

[KayaeDrazin]

Here's the chart again from a previous post.

from lancer I'd add a Job that is lance+shield and that would act as a mid-range tank (this is how I play Demons/Dark souls)

[Arkine]

Why branch classes at all?

Just add new classes that nobody cares about to unlock jobs people actually wants, works too. besides, wouldn't branching classes just deny us the chance to level the new job from the start?

Templar could be that 1 handed lance + shield job though SE would have to differ from the tactics advance series and give them access to shields natively.

Love the idea of a Hoplite/spartan lance + shield fast warrior (Prince Oberyn is one of my preferred characters in the Song of Ice and Fire).

That would be good too, but I like more the above idea.
