Extend Classes into full Jobs?

[Bishop81]

Equal representation, like I said. Imagine this: There are 2 jobs choices from Archer. Bard as it exists in it's current form, and 'Ranger'. Now why is anyone going to want a Ranger in the group since it will have the lower DPS of Bard, but without the utility of Songs.

... and you somehow think the "Ranger" won't have their own niche?

"Equal representation"? Extending the Classes into Jobs would just be like adding new Jobs. The now-Jobs Classes, will have their own Job specific abilities.

Look, extending Classes into full Jobs will either yield,

a) a Job that plays very similarly to a current Job and has the same effectiveness.
b) a Job that plays differently to a current Job and brings it's own benefits.

Either way, I don't see how it will harm the game.
