Is having your class in this game as important as it is for me?

[Korbash]

Personally I prefer DPS caster classes like sorcerers, warlocks, wizard, elementalist, etc., whatever names they get in games. Even better is said DPS caster classes have pets because I love having pets. There are way too many war classes and definitively not enough magic classes. I also like ranged classes like archer and dpsing with a bow, guns or whatever. My big disapoitment in FFXIV is that there are only 3 classes/jobs in the game that fits what I like to play: Black Mage, Summoner and Archer.

Edit:

My favorite magic class so far I've found in MMOs is the mesmer in Guild Wars 1.
