Are classes needed? POLL

[Duelle]

Wow, the results of this thread make me sad.

To everyone who voted on the second option: I hope you enjoy future jobs like Dark Knight being a mere 5 abilities tacked onto Gladiator instead of fully fleshed-out classes.

Again, this would not be an issue if the ability spread for classes was a little more neutral. I mean, under perfect conditions, if SE removed all shield-related abilities from GLA and gave them to PLD and removed enmity bonuses from sword weapon skills, you could easily build off it by having the PLD crystal give certain skills enmity bonuses and having the crystal grant skills related to shields, and having the DRK crystal give attack bonuses on top of the already higher damage due to them having a great sword equipped along with their own drains, debuffs and whatnot (not to mention, can you imagine how cool Rage of Halone would look like if used with a two-handed sword?).

The thing I lament is that I wasn't around to suggest this back when people were crying about no roles.
