    Ok so i see your main class on your info is a cnj... it's pretty decent for soloing correct i know it's not the greatest but you can solo. You still have your Aero and Stone spells. Now if you go an unlock whm (this is purely spec at this point in time since I don't know what spells the whm is going to have) and you don't have those spells anymore. your main concentration is healing healing healing. You really can't solo very well you're mainly with parties so you can get your levels. That's how for some that soloing on class is better than job. Same could go with blm yeah you have all the nuking power in the world but when you're getting attacked you won't have the chance to survive due to lack of healing spells.

    Again this at this point in time it is just a speculation but it is a possibility unless they allow the blm to have access to the class abilities that you already have also . *shrugs* Just one way it they might do it.

    So you're telling me that you're speculating that when I apply the WHM job to my CNJ I no longer have access to CNJ skills?

    This is only proving that classes are even more useless once jobs come about.

    I'm just saying it is a possibility. Not that it will happen. We don't know what will happen so we can't say that classes are useless once jobs come out. You were saying that we could solo on jobs I was pointing out that it might not be plausible. I don't know what is going to happen. We can speculate all we want and then make asses out of ourselves for the assumptions when what really happens happens. Until then it's all fair game on what people think or believe. I just gave an example of what can be not what I think will be.

    I guess I hadn't considered the possibility that switching to WHM may eliminate my ability to use some cnj spells/skills. You could be quite right.

    Conjurers are a casting class known for their specialization in healing and defense-enhancing magic. They also possess some skill with elemental magic, granting them a degree of offensive ability, and can put single targets to sleep, providing a valuable source of control. White mages are powerful casters whose talents enable them to fully restore the HP of all party members in a mere instant. Beyond healing, they can also apply their MP towards attack magic, granting them extremely powerful offensive abilities.

    Somehow I have a feeling this will happen also.
