[Discussion] Having multiple classes worth it in this game?

[Thorauku]

Aside from the fact that it is a bit worth it to have a multiple class due to cross-skills, aside from that, is there any reason to have a multiple class at all in this game?

PS:
I'm not QQ-ing, I just want to hear your opinion regarding this "somewhat" screwed Armoury system which is the main attraction of this game in the first place.

Well, it's fun.

[Axidrain]

at this point? not really. might change later on but for now, just do it if u have a lot of time on ur hands

Yes. Because you will never get a Job without a second Class.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

Keep 'em coming. Probably it's just me who feels it's lacking when I can't use multiple jobs in the same content (Particularly coil).

I am on Durandal which is a JP server, and having multiple classes/jobs really allows me to have a much easier time finding groups. Durandal being a PUG heavy group I am able to pug different turns of Coil on different jobs. Last week I went to Coil 1 and 2 on DRG then 4 on BLM. Few weeks before that I also pugged turn 5 on PLD. In this case, having multiple jobs is definitely huge plus for me.

Especially when you consider that theres nothing stopping you asking for/rolling on loot for a different job. Had a T1 run on my Monk last week whereby neither Healer needed the drops, so they said to greed it if you had a class at 50, so we did. I didn't win it, but the point is that you can't do that if you run multiple characters for different Jobs.
I like the freedom to play whichever class i want and still farm the Tomes to get DL/Myth/CT gear for a totally different job.

On Durandal there are groups where you are allowed to declare one item as your "wish list" or a job as your "job" even though you are on a different job and roll accordingly, I imagine this is the same on other JP servers. This of course is a honor system and can be taken advantage of, but the chance of it happening is quite small on a JP server.

Nothing else really to do.

If you're a tank and you level up a dps class then you get to see what it's like from the dps perspective. You learn what things tanks do that get on your nerves.

An example is if you level monk or dragoon and the tank keeps spinning the enemy around because they think moving around helps them avoid normal attacks. You run around, wishing the tank would stop moving so you can properly hit the enemy.

Experiencing the perspective from all points of view makes you a better player overall.
