Thread: Request: 3.0 Job Customizing

Someone will do the math and figure out the best skill/stats to use and everybody will follow, like we already do with gear. People keep asking for more viariety but then only follow one road anyway.

I'm a WHM and stack spell speed. Half of these forums is probably barfing right now. Remember that guy who put parry on his DRG relic and everyone laughed at him? Yeah... the little choice we have is already ignored. There'll be a dozen people at most with unique sets. With more jobs we may have a more choices in cross-class skills but that'd be the exent of it hopefully.

Also:

I know of plenty of people who would love to be a Paladin if only it weren't a tank role only.

I chose WHM because I like to heal, so I looked up what jobs had that role and picked the one I liked the most, not the other way around. How can you want to be a Paladin and dps? If all jobs can do anything you might as well just ask for glamour restrictions to be lifted. If I wanna be a WHM that DPS... I'd play BLM because that's what I'd be. If you are a DPS paladin aren't you just a ninja with a paladin glamour on? I don't get it. If you don't want to tank why'd you want to be a paladin besides aesthetics?

People may want to be a sword wielding, cool armor wearing job without the stress of being forced to tank. Think of how many people it would please if DRK had the option of dps? Obviously there would be a trade off of dps for the added survivability of heavy armor, but at least it opens up some options.
