Right now I just can't see any legitimate reason in PvE content to NOT come as a job instead of a base class. Perhaps if they were redesigned to fill different roles...

I guess we will just wait and see. At least he's backing off the insistence on every single job having a useless base class.
The way I originally understood it was that the base class was supposed to be more generic and all purpose, while the job was more specialized. But they sort of screwed this up on a number of levels such that in most cases, the job is basically flat better at everything.
