I plan to grind out every last class (and probably, because of that, be slower than the average leveler), but I expect to have great fun doing it.
I haven't gotten access to the dye system yet, but I hear they added some new colors in the beta. It might be fun to try experimenting with that, even though I loathed the "mismatched clown suit" look in other games. Anything but a subligar will do...
I do wonder if you might really expand on this and change classes in and out of battle as kinda that 'jack-of-all trades' type thing. It would really be cool! Also, if you do the wild dye looking clown suit with all different types and colors of gear, that would be sooooooo Gogo and sooooo FF. Anyways, sounds cool regardless. Maybe you and I can talk more about this? I would like to.

I am curious.
Depends how things develop!
See, the thing about Helena is she's pretty smart and naturally talented.. but her problem is she has trouble focusing on just one thing at a time. An easy parrallel would be a university student who keeps switching degrees, getting great grades, but never finishing any.
Obviously, she is thirsty for knowledge.. but isn't quite so wise yet. Smart, but not necessarily wise (that might come with age and/or experience).
Also, being so spread out in her studies and those studies being sometimes radically different (the heavily scientific approach of the arcanist versus the spiritual approach of the conjurer is the perfect example) means she could end up forgetting important things or mixing them up and either miscasting or just not being able to do it at all.
To complicate things further she also dabbles in the more martial classes so she's like... a combat sage! o_O
Ha! This sounds more like a mime then the guy above!Â
Anyways, great idea!Â
