[dev1033] Class name changes

When WHM comes out, what happens to Con? When BLM comes out what happens to Con? Who will want a whm or blm in their party when Con can do both already? I don't see the point. If they do that, they have to throw away conjurer and thaumaturge. The other DoW classes are a little easier to tweak and still be useful.

What we're talking about here are the option for BLM or WHM to be advanced classes unlock for exemple by leveling both Con and Thm. Whm would have for exemple better cure and protect spell than con or thm but focus only on those. Blm would have better attack spell than con or thm. A Blm would be someone who leveled con, thm and then blm.

Why would you want that? Basically, you would need to scrap a LOT of the current system to pull it off. The problem is, a lot of ppl love their con/thm. Either you are going to make WHM lame, and not worth ranking, or make con obsolete. I don't see how it can be balanced properly as a new class. I DO think it could be pulled off as a specialization.

I'm not happy with the DoM as they are. I just don't see how they can add WHM and BLM to the mix without screwing major stuff up. Too bad they didn't have it to begin with.

Yeah there'd need to be a lot of balancing. The problem with DoMs is that, aside from abilities unlocked within a certain class, there's no specific reason to be that class. A Thaumaturge can make fantastic use of Cure, so why wouldn't a Black Mage?

I dunno. There's a lot of tweaks that would need to be done. Greater penalties for using non-class abilities would be a must.

If they had greater penalties for non class abilities, or had ANY of them that weren't cross class, that would go a long way to making classes more unique. I think they could do that without changing the names and adding a whole bunch of classes or specializations.
