I'd like a little more variety in my classes. It seems like most classes have some variant on Flash Jump, Final Attack etc. (Or you're Phantom and have everything).
That is one of the few things I really do miss about MS pre-BB, is that classes were more or less unique. Sure, some had similar roles, but they all did different things. It was particularly obvious in the Guild PQ.
Now it just feels like all classes have is DPS. Unlike other MMO's where you have Tanks, Support/Damage Mitigation, Pure Support/Heal, Ranged DPS, Melee DPS, etc. all classes in MS just try to compete for having the highest range! I don't really change my gameplay at all from a Dark Knight or hell, a Bishop. It's just, attack (based on # of targets) until buffs run out, buff, repeat.
Zakum is kind of a good example for another thing. The Elemental Weakness system is really just pointless at this point. I don't really have to worry about the resistances, or anything. None of those matter to classes like Mercedes and Phantom with their fancy Bio-element attacks and what-have-you.
I dunno. I just miss people yelling at me for hitting the wrong arms. But really, I don't think balancing is the direction they need to go. I'd really like jobs to have specific rolls again.
