Great Sword Class

[Zarvlad]

Look at this sword. Now imagine it being a tank with it. Total buzzkill.

Let me tell you about the Marauder Class....

[Xeno]

They said that every class would have more then 1 job but seeing how things are changing and it does not seem later on wep=class we could see Great sword as it's own class or a part of GLA

Really? At first I thought they were going to have branches for jobs but I thought they said that it would be one job per class? Seriously, as long as you are a DD with a great sword, I'm ok.

You actually can DD as a Gladiator right now. Yes it does require cross-class skills but isn't what the armoury system is all about? You even have a few +atk bucklers to help you. Now with phys levels removed and static points allotment, it'll be a bit less viable, unfortunately.

Great Sword will most likely be GLA weapon. Expect those, if they are actually meant for a more DPS approach, to have the stats to be one the offensive side. Pop the right gear + abilities (and points once we'll be able to do some allotment again) and you'll be all set.

And there is also materias....

True, but we're going to be locked in on skills once jobs come out, and I'll only play gla if I don't have to tank (I'm a bad tank lol)

I think SE mentioned they would be working on weild styles rather than classes at the moment. No sauce for that sorry, but I remember reading something about that.

As far as I know you are not obligated to be the job, you can stay Gladiator.

I guess we'll have to see how it plays out.

if great sword was a new class it would make sense for it to be DD, as a two handed sword + no shield . but who knows what will be what, still can't get my crystal ball to work

[Kiote]

That would mean adjusting some weapons away from GLA as it is currently; my Iron Longsword and Flametongue are pretty dang long...

Considering the Adjustments to recipes I think they are taking away some weapons.
