Class names, how I feel about my character and it's developement.

[Dreamer]

How is Ranger not Archer? Seriously how is it not? Don't say "Because it's not called Ranger", that's just arguing its name. That's not the point. Ranger and Archer are almost synonymous. What skills does a Ranger in one game have that Archer in this game doesn't? Are they class-defining abilities?

You can certainly make a black mage, you just have to mix and match skills to make it. It's not called "Black Mage" by name but that's not the point.

A ranger implies a wildsman, someone skilled with bow, blade, land, and beast. The bow is their favored weapon, but their strengths are more skilled towards wilderness survival. An archer is a person who's a snap shot with a bow, nothing else.

In regards to the thread in general, let me put this in bold. Your character is not defined by the class they have currently equipped. They are defined by what skills they equip. It doesn't matter if I currently have a Thm scepter equipped - if I fill my action bars with healing and buffs, I'm a white mage.

The problem we have at the moment is that we don't have all the class skills necessarily to create the classes we want. As they add new classes and skills, that should be fixed.
