Armoury System is Broken

[AlexiaKidd]

Sorry to be off topic but a comment here reminded me of the best ever FFXI job combination. WAR/WHM... Now please stop throwing those rocks at me

Unfortunately i have nothing else to offer to this thread. Sorry bout that.

Haha while I was replying earlier about the subjob system I was going to bring up the "Ghetto Paladin" as lets face it you all tried it at some point ^^

Oh geeze, I remember back when they were called 'Buttersheep', not that I can remember why.

That, SAM/WAR, and BLU/WAR. Worked surprisingly well back in the Valkurm days, all things considered.

.../cringe NIN/WAR.

Because you were a mad sheep. You could have chosen an elephant as a subjob or even a shark but you chose to be the butterfly or something like that lol

I have noticed that when you unlock a job nobody ever goes back to their class. The whole system should be redone with the removal of all classes and just keep the jobs. They should then bring back the sub job system which makes more sense then what they have now.

You really do want this game to be FFXI 2.0 don't you? I admit I miss old FFXI as much as the next game, but this is a different game.

Now while having a variety of subjobs was pretty fun (when it existed; half the time there was always the preferred subjob), leveling the subjob to 37 was the MOST SOUL-CRUSHINGLY BORING THING TO DO EVER. You had to spend ages leveling a job you might not like, through the areas you hated leveling in... dunes, garlaige shitadel, etc. I didn't want to play NIN, but I had to level it for a subjob.

I agree, classes seem utterly useless at this point in the game. Granted the game did just get re-released recently. But the way things are looking in the foreseeable future jobs will remain the dominant way to play.

Well ARR hardly has the challenging content where flexibility has the advantage.(yet)

Maybe PvP.

Pretty sure Coil turn 5 boss is harder than Nael hard

removal of all classes.

He's saying what were all thinking!

I would hate a subjob system in XIV.

You think /NIN was bad? Every magic class would be all but forced to sub BLM because of the massive MP refresh given by Umbral Ice. Encounter difficulty might as well go out the window at that point, when MP costs no longer matter because one quick Blizzard I will recover a massive chunk of your spent MP over it's duration.

EDIT: Saying this from the perspective of a WHM.

I love the "armor system", quit being a bully! It's good for soloing.

There's nothing broken about it, it's working as intended.

Classes are fine and jobs have their place too.

I don't always use my job and class allows you to combine abilities. Jobs give you specific abilities to compensate for your role.
There's no misunderstanding where the balance is here. Job don't use every class abilities or it would be over-powered.
