Ive wondered what does a job give you that your cass doesnt aside from new abilities and restrict cross class abilties that your class was able to use? Does it increase your stats or make you stronger than your class (ie would a lvl 50 thm have lower stats than a lvl 50 blm, i know i could test this myself but im nothome soooooo yeah

I haven't tested but based on what Yoshi said you do lose power by not specifying a job.

This is one thing I really wish SE could have kept from 1.0. I really liked the concept that once you learned an ability, regardless of currently equipped class you could use the ability. Certainly it needed to be balanced but the potential to customize was really exciting. I know all the complaints everyone made but I stand by my statements at launch. There were some sound ideas in 1.0 they just didn't get implemented right.

No problem. I saw the solution to this in an episode of Star Trek once.

First, we rely on an omnipotent being who is obsessed with Thayos (basically, Filth) to send his consciousness forward in time to his older self where he could convince his then ex-wife to dig up the remains of the Zam site so he could blast Duo with a tachyon beam. This will have the effect of making Duo even more inglorious and grossly incandescent in the present, outshining all trolls in the site, so Thayos should blast Duo with a tachyon beam in the present. Next, Filth will send Thayos back in time to his younger self where he'll discover that Duo is an untouchable admin trolling Zam-goers for sport and blast him with a tachyon beam there as well.

Ultimately, Filth will sweep Thayos to a time in the past when Zam was owned by gil sellers, and instead of shedding their evil masters, Duo, as the owner and operator, will use his powers to hack everyone's FFXI accounts and destroy both the forum and FFXI in the process.

Shocked that Duo is getting worse and worse in the past to become such a destructive force, and realizing that all those tachyon beams he used on Duo was what caused him to gain these powers in the first place (thanks for nothing, Filth), Thayos realizes his only course of action is to allow himself to be eaten by Duo in all three time periods.

So, that's all you have to do to restore the timeline. Good luck!

Or just send an Ostia-Borg from the past. Assimilate them all.

ummm thats not a complaint thats an actual question.. i havd two friendsthat jus started and are above lvl 30 on their classes bu havent unlocked their job yet and it made me wonder.... aside from the mnew bilties a job gives you and teh cross class ailities a job takes away (ike a thm being able to heal and raise if it hasd con or arc skills leveld but a blm cant) whyat makes a job better than a class?
#8DuoMaxwellxx, Posted: Aug 14 2015 at 7:22 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Thank you for actually answering the question. That wasnt hard at all was it? Too bad teh admins can't be that mature. And I;d honestly thought we weer making positive progress after my return from my temp ban, oh well.
