Point of the Job System?

[Jinko]

whats strange to me is that CNJ is already a WHM. its vastly superior to THM cross classing 1 cure spell.

i was under the notion that classes would be much more versatile allowing for easier solo play and Jobs would be vastly more restricted than classes. however, classes are now just about 90% restricted.

"no because you can equip 10 abilities from other classes" LOL THERE ARE HARDLY ANY WORTH WHILE ABILITIES TO EQUIP FROM OTHER CLASSES. not only are there almost no DOW abilities worth while to equip to my mages (such as that life saving MRD defense mode buff) but i cant cross class almost any worth while Mage abilities.

i now cant cross class the vast majority of spells/abilities from one mage to another. Its like the classes themselves are the Jobs and the Jobs will just be the exact same with a few more spells/abilities.

we were specifically told classes would be much more versatile, by they are very very restricted. Why cant i equip the CNJ MP ability on my THM and have it just gimped a little? Its not like id be over powerd in Boss battles or anything.

I doubt as BLM you can even set cross class abilities.

So where as THM will have the use of Protect, Stoneskin and Cure a BLM probably won't.

Obviously your opinion on those 3 spells is your own, but I still feel they come in very handy when I'm soloing on my THM.

I don't understand the need for players to feel they can do everything either, in most other MMO's you can't set spells and skills from other classes.

In 11 you can only set spells and skills much much lower than your main level, ie Cure II (its a bit different now mind) but you shoudln't expect to be setting Cura and Curaga as a DD class.

This is what I was afraid of. Finally logged in for the first time since the update and figured I'd give a few leves a try as Conjurer and Thaumaturge... didn't like it at all.

Mages work perfectly IMO , THM spells are a bit on the costly side but that my only fualt with them
