Personally, I'd like to see Classes made into "alternate-jobs"

[Terin]

What I mean is, rework the way the way they play, to fill slightly different roles in groups. Make the Gladiator into a DPS class, focused more on dishing out raw damage, removing all allusions to Holy or Light abilities. In cintrats, the Pugilist might remain DPS, but instead sacrifice DOTs and positioning bonuses for front-facing attacks with minor bonuses to survivability.

Personally, I think the base Classes are too cool to be left as redundant relics of 1.0. Instead, I'd like to see them as interesting alternatives to their corresponding Jobs. In addition, I would personally like to see each of these Classes get its own unique Artifact Armor set. Even if they aimed a bit simpler, I think it would add a lot of flair to them, such as Gladiators getting a bare-chested Greco-Roman design with a Roman Centurion helmet, that sort of thing.

Class would always be the base for NPC seeing how they can't unlock the job system. Unless later in 4.0 SE goes Npc can now become jobs due to blah blah then they really take out class. I don't see them doing much with class system tbh just to much work to focus on fixing both jobs and class.

We need tanks from 15 to 30.

Note there are a number of jobs that show NPCs to actively have them. NIN and Paladin come to mind first. They just can't switch as freely as the players can.

While I would love to have a true DPS Marauder with pirate-ish AF, I think the chances of it ever happening are slim-to-none. None of the new jobs have classes because of the difficulty of creating unique jobs out of identical skill sets with only 5 extra skills to differentiate them, and to rework the classes into jobs would require the Devs to do just that. Nor do I expect the abolition of jobs since all the requisite quests are already in place, and it would be a waste of resources (and a source of disappointment for new players who never get to experience the content) to go back and remake all the Job quests. I really would like to see *some* sort of overhaul for the out-dated class system, but at best i'll keep my fingers crossed for 5.0.

Rogue as a job please! there are people out there that miss the thief, and yes, mudra system sucks

Berserker at level 30 from the Marauder class. I would like a weapon switch for berserker personally, like dual wielding axes or something like that. From the start of the Warrior quest, Berserker seems most natural to be an off shoot of Marauder.

I think the balancing issues of SMN/SCH have shown why this is not a good idea. Having 2 different jobs coming from the same class just causes too many issues.

Berserker

Yes, a hundred times yes. I'm hoping in my heart of hearts that we will see Berserker sometime in 3.xx (even though I don't expect it). Every additional job they've announced thus far has been a bitter disappointment to me since Berserker is one of the few jobs I am truly waiting for. But I think Warrior takes up their iteration of "Berserker" sadly.

I think berzerker either with a 2h or duelwielding axes could be fun, although I'm slightly leaning towards a 2H if I'm being honest.

A job stemming from gladiator that forgoes the protection of a shield and picks up a second sword could be interesting too.
