This is yet more evidence that Capcom basically intended you to be a Strider and made that the dominant class. It's got the most useful moves (double-jumping, faster movement, making your lantern shine further, dodging) and once you hit mid-level and have some decent kit you can pretty much ruin everything with ease. The dagger skils make short work of smaller enemies and your increased mobility and decent stam usage makes clambering up big foes a breeze. If you pick any other class you can play the game fine but get handicapped in certain situations and only realise this when you try out the Strider. My pawn was a top-teir Strider at about lvl 30 and she annihilated everything. Now she's a top-tier Ranger at lvl 38 and her bow pretty much one-shots anything smaller than a Chimera. OH but I'm a Warrior with a massive sword and about twice the damage output and it takes me two swings to down a goblin? Sense makes none.

Then there's the fact that you can't hit half the hanging things that clear the mist in Witchwood without a bow, you can't get most of the medallions in the From A Different Sky DLC without the double-jump and now you can't hit the hearts on the Ur-Dragon wings without a bow. Even when you try and climb it the camera goes nuts so it's like Capcom is going 'Fail. You're not a Strider. Go back and try again.'
