Where are the new jobs for EXISTING classes?

[Ecks007]

I kind of agree. What happened with the idea that "eventually every class will have two branching jobs to choose from"? Personally I would rather have options. I figured since they started doing this with the Arcanist class that every class that would come after would also have 2 job options.

For me, Arcanist having two jobs is fine. I knew right away that I wanted to play as a Summoner and not a Scholar. Hell I still haven't even unlocked Scholar, because I have absolutely no interest in having a fairy pet, period (or looking like I just graduated). Plus, if I want to heal I have White Mage for that.

I understand people that actually want to play both Jobs are going to find it difficult to perform as well on one as the other due to the stat allocation, but honestly, with gear this isn't as huge a problem as people seem to be blowing it up into. Personally I hope they aren't waiting for a stat allocation solution before implementing secondary Jobs to current (and future) classes.

I hope I wasn't the only one today (while happy about Rouge/Ninja) that was disappointed that they only had one new class to introduce. The signage specifically said "New Classes", so, hopefully we get more reveals on Wed and Thurs.

Heaven forbid should anyone be different from another player. Imagine a game with creativity. Sounds worse than cancer.

We're talking about an MMORPG right? So long as there's progression, there will never be player creativity when it comes to stats and ideal playstyle towards that. There will never be a "free choice" to what you should do to be optimal or efficient. It's essentially the same as the concept of dominant strategy. You have other options or a freedom to choose what to do and how to do it, but there is always going to be a "best" way to do it.

You will doubtfully ever see a second job for a class again, the class system does nothing but drag the abillity to be original with the jobs themselves. Rogue may as well not exist and just had Ninja as it's own self contained job...and go forward like that. The class system just hamstrings the jobs themselves.

Well, that depends how you view the jobs I suppose.

People are actually whining about stat allocation for two jobs?

... wow I just...
...just wow.

Just wanted to add my 2 cent on what I think is happening. I believe once we get the first expansion many of the classes will get new jobs. The reason rogue got released is because it is one if the classes that was promised from the beginning just like musketeer. I think we will see a gun class before first expansion. I don't predict an expansion anytime soon probably not before 2 years from release the way they are patching and updating the game. We will all have to be patient but I see a bright future when the expansion release with tons of new content that will keep everyone happy.

Hopefully they just cut the class/job separation altogether.

Meh, I don't even run VIT as WAR. Honestly don't think for a moment that the 540ish HP is worth anywhere near as much as what STR brings.



I wish I could disagree with this but honestly, I can't.

you grossly overstate the weight of str. 30-50 str is only about 10-15 dmg its even less on summoner where dots have a potency of 30-40%

I don't think they would be able to separate the class/jobs. I'm just thinking from a technical perspective.

You never play Ragnarok Online then.

I hope they add 2nd jobs for all classes. It would feel unfinished when they just add more new classes with one job. Arcanist would feel like: "shoot, we need another healer but no time left, just link it to arcanist". Not to mention the attributes fiasco it comes with.

It's okay when you like to "specialize" (<-- you really think you specialize? lol) in one job. It's okay when you don't mind the corresponding job to be slightly gimped. Can it also be okay when there are people out there who want to play both without the slight gimp or having to Fate farm/Leve farm seals for the reset scrolls? Isn't this more of a choice instead of choosing one time what to spend your points on?

Why can't we just gil buy an item so we can reset it (wherever we want)? I'm all for choices, but this "specialize" thing did not pan out too well.
