Hermit huh...

I prefer this over the old NL. Imagine how screwed it was before.

I imagine many people feel as you do.
But I've heard many others complain that they like their class, that's why they chose to play it. They just wanted a few changes like more damage, more speed, more range, more status effects, more defense/evasion, etc. And a removal of old useless skills for new flashy ones. But not a whole new class.
