Because the party healer will usually stay close to the tank, and if you go off on another mob, you will most likely die, as there will be no one to heal you

The tank is the one who should be doing all the pulling, though ranged DPS's can attack before the tank ( tank only has a few options at ranged attacks) can and then the tank has to work a little harder to get the aggro off them.

You can change your class, but most people will level the one they chose as their main first. Once you reach level 30, you can then level archer to 15 and choose a Job class as a Black Mage. The leveling goes quickly once you figure out more of the game.
