Job Personalization: Can I Have It?

[DreadRabbit]

That was a pain to write though. /sigh

In what way do you disagree? It doesn't affect raiding and is really just an addition to existing activities.

Definitely appreciate you taking the time do so, though *thumbs up* Truthfully in theory your ideas sound good. But as it was already pointed out, anyone who wants to main the 3 new jobs are completely left out because they have no base class. And they could just swap to one of the different classes to do the content, but then that clashes with your idea of people being able to play how they want to play. I feel if we're going to add new customization for the game it needs to include all of the classes/jobs somehow. The new jobs are already getting a lot of flak. I wouldn't want to gimp them even further.

wasn't in WoW. Paladin could spec as healer. Druid could spec has tank, healer, melee, or caster. And just about every healer had a dps spec. It goes on.

Fair enough, but again how is that any different from what we have now is the only thing I continue to wonder (other than you remained "druid" as an example). That works for games like WoW because it's one class to one character and offers variety for those who don't want to level a brand new character. We don't have that issue in this game so it would be redundant. That's why this thread is so confusing for me: "we have no personalization" yet people are asking for literally the exact same system (as least as far as specs are concerned). The only difference being you don't want to step out of your one class' name. And specs don't let you change roles in the very middle of battle like we can now by using cross class abilities (or even more than just 4 abilities in our native tool kit).

Now I know we're moving away from cross class abilities, and how far we get in that direction depends entirely on how they handle fixing the problems with the three new jobs.
