New Job System Concerns

[Gooner_iBluAirJGR]

Interesting points. You mentioned not seeing people running around as 50 Lancers or Marauders I was considering doing that yesterday with my 50 pugilist but I opted out for 2 reasons: The soul crystal increases your stats and you lose 5 powerful skills from your job.

I think it would be interesting if the base class had 5 skills that the Job couldn't take advantage of i.e. if there were Pugilist skills that Monk couldn't use. This would give players a fun reason to choose the class over the job. It would be interesting if the class guilds continued to offer quests every 5 levels after 30 that awarded new skills.

Just throwing ideas around

When you hit 30, play SCH for 2.5 levels, then SMN for 3.5 levels. Rinse. Repeat. You get to 'level both jobs' and learn as you go ^^

I play both Summonerand Scholar, and what I do is that I'm a Summoner for whenever I have to do anything solo [story quests, side quests, farming for mats] and I'm a Scholar for parties. This does admittedly mean that I have somewhat less experience as a Scholar, but I try to address this by doing guild hests and dungeons even when I don't need to in order to get more practice.
Since I do this mainly for practice and not exp, the low exp doesn't bother me as much, but I'd welcome a buff to dungeon and guild hest exp.

I'd ideally like for the new jobs they make for the current classes to have different roles compared to the roles of the current jobs, like how Arcanist branches off to both DPS and healer. Having a class branch off to one DPS and another DPS would be, well, boring, and this might even encourage people to try out tanking and healing. It would also mean that you'd have different options during partying and soloing, and variety is a good thing.

The jobs only have 5 different skills from each other, it's not rocket science to learn a new one. lol
