Discuss the Abolishment of the Armoury System and Classes

[Estellios]

It's quite easy to solo without the aid of cross class skills, you just have to fight within your means.

Every other mmo class manages to solo without the aid of cross class skills. (it all comes down to balance) Granted thats not SE's strong suit.

For me it's more that a class will effectively be able to adapt to whatever situation is needed in a small party if they have enough options. Obviously for solo play you wouldn't need too much more than whatever would help you outlast the target, either through damage mitigation or healing.

In a small or light party you only need 1 tank (PLD) 1 healer (WHM) and 2 DPS (take your pick) you could even have the 4th spot as BRD to give party duffs and DPS as well.

Yes you are right that classes could have more overlap of skills but I don't think its actually needed if you have a good set up.

Having jobs only could mean that the content in this game could be tuned and balanced much more effectively also, it would probably lessen situations of 7 lnc and 1 con showing up for an Ifrit party.
