FFXIV has no class (Jobs vs Class)

[Kopuno]

I agree the game is young and has been in development for a while and it is still changing. The thing is If you play Gladiator it pretty much is a Tank. So i dont see how they can add another job to it and it not be a tank. I like the SCH and SMN i think that worked well because ARC had a good balance, but i dont see that balance in a lot of classes to allow multiple jobs. So if it is linear Class->job then just make it 1 thing. This way people wont complain about stat allocation on SMn/SCH

Yoshi has stated that later certain Job stones will change the way skills work from the normal class base. Also, Jobs aren't really Jobs. They're more like Skill Trees. You branch off which way you want to spec.

...you want to use a PLD to DPS? Really?

Like giving him all the DPS cross abilities still classified as tank

I meant gladiator my mistake

It's too bad we only have 1 tree then for most classes.

I think PvP is where you'll start to see classes shine.
