i like this idea

what if…
weapons stay the same, strength scales requirement stays the same and your attrib points stay the same so we are not rooting the game.

BUT

Weapons receive "bonus " damage if you met their requirement?
To the point with the bow
If you invested in strength, the long bow is for you and the punches through pretty much anything
If Dex, short bow / hunting bow and you can fire like a machine gun
If Faith, healing arrow AOE or something
if intelligence, regular firing, regular damage elemental arrow

Yes, I touched some of that ideas here, but I also can’t deny that my suggestion still needs some work.

Also, 1 thing I want to focus on. What is “class” to you guys?

For some, it’s the stats that defines the characters, for some, it’s the weapons and attire of the characters.

For me personally, it’s the play style of the characters. No secret that I’ve been feeling the current system feels like an illusion rather than true classless system. A broken one at that. For example, 42 DEX could be translated to great at short range battle with dagger and katana, middle range battle with lance, and long range battle with bow. For me, that just felt wrong.

So I proposed this suggestion. Yes, it’s still full of flaws and need improvement, but with that, i think true classless is possible.

Say you want an STR mage, with focus on melee battle and enchantment, you can raise your STR stats to raise your melee damage and INT stats so you can cast necessary spell. What class is this is for you to define, but I think this is could be the way to head towards true classless.

hmmm…
i think it is all of the ideas you mentioned for me. The playstyle , the look, the abilities, the gear.
Barbs and druids tend to be more tanky, melee combat and slower fighting versus the rogue class who is a glass cannon. The Sorc tends to a ranged character using magic and distance as their ‘armor’

I like the idea of your classless character.
for me that description would be a battle mage
meaning someone who has some magic abilities but mostly wants to beat the crap out of an enemy in melee style combat.
maybe AOE magic WHILE beating the crap out of someone or for healing because when it is time to take care of business, it is close combat
