Why leave your shield at home!?

[Akumu]

The problem here is that you are quoting a page that still lists Chakra and Steal as Pugilist abilities. These things were said far before beta even began, and it's obvious things have changed since then.

The class has since been tuned more towards a pure tank and less of a 'hybrid' class. If damage is what you want, why not just main a class that has primary abilities to allow you to do so? Why does GLA need to be able to become some crazy DD?

It doesn't have to be some crazy DD its just that with the way Yoshi-P describes what jobs are it is possible that a GLA can become a PLD, DRK, DRG, and THF which in the last 3 cases why not still hold a shield? Unless the abilities would need off hand to be empty or shieldless.


There is a thread about this already but i will sum it up.

Class = Weapon Specialist
Job = Role Specialist
