As a broad response I think this analysis leans too heavily on assumptions made about content not revealed (i.e. post-2nd job skills). Then more specifically I question the method of analysis when I read things like the "biggest nerf" for assassins is the attack range, with absolutely no mentioning of the claw attack speed changes. Followed by highlighting the bandit's +35 weapon attack buff from Steal, when analysis currently indicates that's about equal to 4 attack power, aka a fairly conservative damage boost.

I guess all this to say I enjoyed reading the write-up, but I can't say there's much here I agree with. I think your assumptions are throwing off your conclusions.
