[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.

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.
