Job System details

[MrCale]

I see this as the ability to have options. one can slap on the job Paladin to be a more effective tank and be great in NM battles etc. However when doing regular mobs, or lower level solo nms it would be nigh impossible because of low dps. i like the brd example from ffxi. With this new suggestion an arc can now slap on brd and be invited to ifrit battles and slap on arc for other types of content. Versatility is always welcome!

as much as i dont mind the job system, it really does feel like a "tack on" to say "hey look we have final fantasy jobs".

How can any of you sit here and claim what WHM and BLM can do, when none of you even have the slightest idea of how the jobs WHM.BLM will change the current classes?

This thread is full of debate on unfounded speculation.

Well, historically WHM does one thing better than most: Healing.

BLM, historically does one thing better than most: Nuking.

Throughout the years the only thing that changed with these two particular jobs is their weapon of choice (WHM: Bow, Club, Staff, BLM: Dagger, Scythe, Staff, Club) and spell set, so unless they turn WHM into a DD..it's a pretty safe bet on what their implementation will be.

I am aware of what they do historicly, I think you are confused by my meaning. Perhaps you did not read the post earlier that I am refering to. Posters are posting about spells and abilities that may or may not be in game. Its not the general jobs, but the specifics people attempt to assume will be part of the job that may or may not, that I refere to.
