Thread: Remove the Class System in 3.0

SE should remove the class system in 3.0 and just have Jobs because the class system serves no purpose except to restrict jobs and it's a relic from 1.0 that's out of place in A Realm Reborn.

Could you clarify what you mean by "Restrict Jobs"?

"Summoner and Scholar should be split so Summoner can be a pet job and Scholar can be a healer tactical job"

Please look forward to it.

He does this only all the time.

I think they should have had Jobs start at level 1 and be powered up and more focused (kinda like they are now) versions of the classes needed to gain them. Then leave classes more generalized with a wider range of cross skills to select. This would hopefully add more depth and make both more useful depending on your situation. Right now there really is no need to be a class once you get the job.

They've already said they're redoing the way those work.
That, combined with the fact that, unlike all the other classes, ROG has an actual set visual aesthetic, tells me we might be seeing a split.
It's restrictive as it stands because there's not much tweaking you can do when adding a new job to suddenly make it take another role entirely.
For example, if you wanted to make CNJ a DPS job, you'd give them ALL DPS abilities but they'd still have some of the strongest heals in the game. ACN/SMN/SCH is the only real exception since the class/jobs were designed from the beginning to be split between heals and DPS.
The only current way to keep the system is to have certain abilities tweaked by being a different job a la Carbuncle->Eos/Garuda Egi

This can be prevented by making the skills Class/job restricted.
For instance make Cure2 CNJ/WHM only excluding the DPS job and add skills that are usable only on the DPS job.

Didn't they talk about re-doing a few things for 3.0?

Did they? I don't see them removing classes due to rogue/ninja coming out.
They wouldn't waste the dev time on something that would just be removed and by removed I mean the rogue portion.
