Heavensward jobs! yay...no base class? wth..

[Deathscythe343]

Isn't that pretty much what we already have with classes to job progression? I'm betting they'll just remove it all and make 1 weapon = 1 role (call it class, job, whatever).

Yes, the concept is very similar. What I was thinking was that, for example, a BLM and a WHM could combine to make a RDM so to speak. It is certainly possible and probable that they will likely go in the direction that you pointed out.

But I'm just happy I'll get to play the new Jobs from level 1.

Not so sure this would happen like that. I have to wonder if the new jobs would start out much higher than that.

I'm actually glad they are getting away from classes. I think it might be a way to have more variety in gameplay. I always felt that the jobs should be more unique, if you are a PLD, you shouldn't have not one skill thats similar to MRD. I wanna play a job because its unique. If i pick NIN, it should'nt fight the same as ROG. And if I have ROG, NIN shouldn't be able to mug and steal. It takes away from the uniqueness of the job. I felt like ROG should have been a job on its own. CNJ should have been a job on its own, different from WHM. Maybe now, we can have more uniqueness and balance in the game. Hopefully DRK will play different than PLD and MRD, etc.

Its a good idea their getting rid of base class requirements.

However, does that mean cross class skills will still be available for the new jobs to have? Or will they have their own version of essential abilities like a DRK version of Provoke and AST version of swiftcast?

Doesn't really matter, We'll have to level them to 50. We'll just have to wait and see. But I don't think they will remove classes from the game. It'll probably be something like, In order to get Dark Knight you need to have GLD MRD and w/e class level 50 to unlock a DRK Crystal..... You could think of it like Advanced Jobs or something.

Yes, because locking the most significant aspects of the entire expansion away from new players is exactly the kind of marketing strategy to really get the sub numbers up.

Yoshi-P already said that the only requirement to obtain DK, Mach, and Astro is to unlock the Armory system for your character back when he revealed DK.

Players will just need to reach lvl 10 and find the Job Trainer for those three jobs. There is no Main Scenario lock as well so players can get it whenever they want once they unlocked Armory.

That sig of yours is creepy. It may give someone on the forums nightmares

Could you possibly NOT have that as your signature please.

I think this is intentional, they added Rogue with cross class skills, but the way they've got things set up, you can't use any of them on any of the existing jobs. This way they can add new jobs without having to worry about adding cross class skills back into the main classes, possibly upsetting any existing balance. It also means you don't *have* to level up any of the new jobs for cross class skills if you don't want to.

It may also be a case of not wanting to give only a couple of Jobs their 3rd cross class-skill set before the other classes get theirs. Expanding the Cross-class system after the introduction of an addition Tank, mDpS, rDpS and healer is a bit more fair than just an mDpS. Also with the level cap increase there will be two(or one and a job skill) more Cross-class skill slots and nothing says that the existing classes will not get new post-50 skills that can be cross-classed.
