Also given that the weapon determines the class, you couldn't have classes that potentially share weapons (e.g. Pupper Masters and Monks, Thieves and Dancers, etc...)
Or could you? I'm sure, in addition to all the individual class changes planned, there are changes to the Armory system as a whole in the works as well. Maybe instead of just changing weapons to change your class, you could choose a weapon, then choose between several classes that share the ability to use that weapon? I'm sure there are ways to make it smoother than that, but it's just a thought.
