I just wanted to add, that since the implementation of jobs I have rarely seen anyone use classes for anything...I myself solo'd on jobs extensively, sure for whm and blm it takes some time depending on mob level but it wasn't impossible...I did try to do some testing to see if I preferred using my gld over my pld, and honestly I had more fun as pld than gld...if the classes had something different to offer than jobs...or if jobs had more exclusive skills that truly allowed then to standout from classes then maybe I can see the need to have both, but imo I'll always choose jobs over classes any day. (I will say I do prefer the classes naming style over jobs...they just seem so much more exotic and sexy). My 2 gil.
