[dev1033] Class name changes -> Specialization/Talent Trees Into Classic FF Classes

[solracht]

So if I'm a Rank 40 Conjurer right now. And SE adopts the change being proposed. The next day, I will no longer have Chainspell, Raise, or Fastcast. But I will be able to become a Red Mage 40 with Fastcast and Chainspell, or a White Mage 40 with Raise.

Will I have the option to be both, and switch at will?

That's exactly it, but you'd technically still be a Conjurer in either case. The difference being whether you're a Conjurer specced into Red Mage, or Conjurer specced into White mage. Conjurer still exists, however.

You would be able to be both to an extent - if they allowed things such as dual-specs in WoW, or soul templates in Rift. With the press of a button, you could switch between your RDM build, or your WHM build. Or between two RDM builds, possibly.
