Imagine being out in the world, nobody in sight, so you start fighting a fate or hunting target. And then someone unstealths, switches classes and one-shots you. They then immediately switch back and vanish or become immune to retaliation. This is not fun; you need to have some reasonable way to avoid them or fight back.

At the very least, switching classes would have to be restricted in some way outside of personal innrooms.
Except when you switch classes in the field your skills are locked for like 30secs, so your just signing a deathwish unless your auto-attacks are over powered.
