Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

Why do you keep using Class and Weapon as if they are two different things?

Anyway if thats how you want it thats fine.

How I'd prefer it is

You Equip your weapon and are identified as being a user of that weapon.

When you level your weapon skill up to the appropriate rank you learn to specialize in a specialized role.

This role is given a name and called your Job (Job and Role are synonyms after all.)

Once you master this Role/Job you are now able to equip any weapon you want and perform the same role as long as your skill with said new weapon is on part with the requirements of the Role.

Wow... I'm not sure how much simpler I can make it for you. Gimme a second to think about it, my GF is a preschool teacher I'm gonna give her a call real quick.

Like i said earilier, your job may not be locked to your class, or vice versa. Class is still changed by equpping a different weapon, job stays the same.

May not, that's the fun part. No one knows for sure, but it makes more sense to me that it would be.

Which is what I and quite a few here want.

I want to be a Dragoon and have a lizard with wings that has a breath weapon follow me around.

And there is no reason you can't be DRG/LNC or DRG/GLA the difference between the two would just be one would have a lance/polearm with it's own weaponskills while the DRG/GLA would have a sword and it's own weaponskills.

Bloodlotus, you know if they were smart, they wouldnt lock a job to only one weapon type. that has been one of the flaws of the class system. The Job and class system together, you can define your role while using the weapon of choice, considering the weapon actually fits the class. aka, paladin probably wouldn't want to use a wand or bow. Class ranks could also still determine your HP and MP leves to some extent, so equipping a wand on with paladin job would make you have shitty hp, thus be a shitty tank.

You can say what ever you want it has no bearing on what those of us who asking for the freedom to use what ever weapon we want once we unlock and master the job. (Not what ever weapon we want to unlock the job.)

How I'd prefer it is

You Equip your weapon (sword) and are identified as being a user of that weapon (Gladiator).

When you level your weapon skill up to the appropriate rank you learn to specialize in a specialized role (Job).

This role is given a name and called your Job (Job and Role are synonyms after all.) (word games aren't needed)

Once you master this Role/Job you are now able to equip any weapon you want and perform the same role as long as your skill with said new weapon is on part with the requirements of the Role. This last part probably won't happen for the sake of Class Uniqueness.

Is a Goblin Longsword a Gladiator? They are two different things. A weapon and a Class

I can see the point, but I don't think they'll do that lol

I see what you mean, but I do think you are understanding it incorrectly.
