Every OG RPG followed the same design. Pures only do one thing and they do it well. Hybrids can do everything but not better than a pure. Its true for every game from Dungeons and dragons to Mario RPG.
Thats what gives classic its flavor.
Utility and versatility come at a cost. Atleast it used to.
Pretty soon class flavor will be eroded to the point its just retail lite.
Not saying hybrids should be in the dumps they should all be competing in the mid range just under pures.
I dont even raid havent really since P1. I just hate to see the game go down the same path retail has.
