No More Classes?

[Asheilin]

So why the fuck are my classes not END GAME VIABLE! whats the point of having this gear ....

You want to know the point? RETAINERS. They have no JOBS. though if they do get rid of the useless class system in 3.0; that will change hopefully. My smn has i90 gear, my retainer is arcanist but can't wear it as the i90 gear she has was SMN only; and building up the crafted stuff is a pain while trying to gear out nin, brd and sch. the gear that lists classes, is completely for the purpose of using as retainer gear after your done with it
