at least having a lot of mage classes makes sense, they are the only class archetype that uses Magic Attack, as opposed to the 4 others that all use Weapon Attack. I'm not saying they should be equal though, of course.
The sheer amount of Warrior classes is unreasonable though. It's kinda like they are using Warrior as the catch-all Weapon Attack class and Mages as the catch-all Magic Attack classes and making them super generic, rather than spreading them out over the 5 classes.
I guess pirates would come in as a close second to warriors, right?
At this point, the class archetypes have become pretty much arbitrary. Classes are designed with their archetypes as an afterthought, rather than the defining characteristic. And, partly due to that, we are severely lacking in thieves.
But then what would even be the point of a thief nowadays? What do thieves specifically have to offer? Ever since every class ever got buffed with crazy high mobility, what's really so special about thieves? What makes them unique?
