    I'm worried Square-Enyx are moving away from the armoury system, and Heavensward's new jobs not having classes is the second hint of that (Rogue's cross-classes being available to no jobs was the first sign).

    I have recently started dabbling a lot with Marauder instead of Warrior, and I enjoy what it brings to my groups. I worry that comes Heavenswards, the three new jobs might not even HAVE cross-class skills for any other job, let alone cross-class skills available to the base classes.

    I suppose when I read how people dislike having to level other classes to get "core" abilities (swiftcast, provoke, etc.), Square might be doing the general player a favour. I, for one, miss the more open-ended aspect of 1.0, that has progressively disappeared since 1.21.

    If you've been following interviews, you'll have seen this coming from a mile away.

    Good riddance to classes. We'll hardly miss ye.




    If you haven't been following, short version: Class->job progression is too limiting (keep in mind jobs give you only 5 abilities on top of the the base class, so branching a la ACN and SCH/SMN doesn't work very well.)

    The fact, that every job had already 2 sub classes before 2.4, should have be clear enough that the old jobs don't get Rogue as a 2nd or 1st sub class. Not without revamping the whole jobs balance again.
