Retainer Jobs?

[Zhexos]

We haven't forgotten about allowing retainers to switch to jobs! As referenced above, we were aiming for Patch 3.1, but we weren't able to make it in time for Patch 3.1 and it's currently being worked on for implementation in the future.

How would letting retainers have a Job affect anything? Is there even a difference between DoM/DoW retainer classes other than aesthetics? Would the only difference be the ability to equip artifact/mythology/esoteric/relic equipment?

Well, yes, there is the whole artifact gear thing...

But consider the fact that there are players out there now with only DRK/MCH/AST, which is their new main, at level 60. And they don't intend to level any other class. These players can't have a retainer at 60 due to the inability for retainers to have Jobs. More than the gear situation, I imagine this disadvantage is the main reason this change is being made.

I hope you can get it ready for Patch 3.2. I'd like to reclass my retainer as DRK.
