Are classes needed? POLL

I wouldn't say that, there is a small bit of variation but your role doesn't change much going from THM and BLM in Ifrit for example.

......

Ask yourself, is this because THM *cant* fulfill a different role, or is it because ppl insist on playing THM within a certain role. How ppl choose to play it has nothing to do with the potential a class has to do something different. Ppl are just stupid and narrow-minded when they say a class can only fulfill one role.

agreed. there's a few things thm's can do that a blm cannot do in a party. a thm can keep up buffs, off heal the dd's, raise fallen party members, and throw nukes at the targeted mob. the thing is people just looks at them as they are only a nuker because that's what it's primary skills lead them to, but once you look into the cross class abilities it does have multiple things it can accomplish.

we can discuss how effective they are at those extra roles or if it's worth the decrease in dps to do them, but cannot discount the fact that the option is there for them.
