When they sat down and decided to create a world with its own rules and ideas different to real life they gave themselves the creative license to not follow a dictionary definition of the word "pugilist". They can take the concept of the term and alter it without it being completely illogical - since we went from punching with fists to punching with fists imbued with magic...not punching with fists to shooting magic lasers.

Also just to pre-empt it, I know that's not how the guild is currently but don't forget we're looking at a complete world rehaul in v2.0. They arn't going to completely rehaul the classes twice.
Ah yes, the classic "but it's a fantasy game" response. I was waiting for this. Welcome to the discussion.

To be honest, I really don't care what they do with the PGL class anymore, I've lost all interest in it. As far as I'm concerned they might as well delete it because it's just turning into a melee/magic hybrid that shouldn't even be named what it is.

Who cares. It takes 24 hours to get a class 1-50 anyways. There will always be something better than a sub-par melee class that requires MP for basic actions lol...
