Warriors - Rerolls

[Kaloran]

Why do people use the term "reroll?" Are you creating wholly new characters? That just seems silly. That being said, I've leveled both GLD/PLD and MRD/WAR to 50. I'll play whichever fits the situation or whichever is most fun for me. So far, WAR has been a blast, but I'm not in the super end game content. Next up are the healer jobs.

Does reroll even make sense for creating new characters?

The phrase is a "hand-me-down" from table top gaming, where you would ask a DM if you could "reroll" your base stats if they were particularly bad, or for that matter, anything you didn't like. It made it's way into RPGs, and MMORPGs specifically, because often character race played a part in stat effectiveness (FFXI as well).

In this context, it's meant to capture the mindset of changing roles. I'll always have my WAR job and my gear for him, but I'm pretty much done with it until SE addresses it's game-breaking flaws; Thus, a change in mindset. A "reroll".

I understood where it came from, but I guess I was just being pedantic. However, the highlighted part in your reply makes an awful lot of sense as a valid explanation. Thank you!
