All jobs still have its identity, it just changed its form of presentation a bit.
Really? because tanks and healers are slowly becoming carbon copies of each other their personal identities bit by bit burned in the pyre of "making everything absolutely 100% balanced". If i wanted skins instead of different jobs i would play LoL
