Preparing for Battle/Job system

[Jinko]

It would be different for each weapon for the instance of Marauder they could strike the ground near the target and the spells bursts out from under them to hit them.

But why would you want to make a DD class heal the party, you are going to end up with a party full of MRD wil high DD and def and capable of healing one another, where does the conjurer fit into this party or another class for that matter ?

Nothing wrong with a Conjurer/Thief but it probably wouldn't be the best combination kind of like WAR/WHM.

Gladiator - Paladin = Healing magic and Enmity skills.
Gladiator - Swordsman = Pure DD and a skill to allow equipping of Great Swords.

I'm not saying MAKE the Marauder a healer. But the choice should be there if someone wants it. I was just making an example of how they could make each Weapon "Use" cross weapon skills.

And no one ever said make the marauder as good a healer either. For example, perhaps the fact that he's using a non magical tool to channel his power, keeps him from making aoe casts, or the spells is not as powerful, even if his stats were like the conjurer's.

Each weapon is a tool, but each of them have their own strentghs and weaknesses.

The survivability needs to be there. Without it, you could very well just cock block most melee classes to progress unless they find a healer to group with. The survivability could be less effective, actually, that is the case now. However, removing it would be more of a head ache to the melee who want to progress or farm mobs solo.

It should be more about balancing the skills than taking them out completely. I think your suggestion, pardon me for saying, is irrational and not very thought out.
