...feck...I don't think you know what competitive means if you are saying you want that in non-competition.

And unless you go for balls out focus on offense or defense, no picking an alternative class does not provide the best benefit.

Like with the strider and fighter both. Yes they both have a focus on physical damage or defense, but they are not the classes to exemplify those extremes either. They in fact are respectively the magic knight and assassin or ranger if you want to pick a class that pushes those values.

Beyond allotment of stats it's abundantly apparent in the classes unique skill and abilities you can buy with rank ups too. Ranger having larger versions of basic bow skills and Mage knight getting extra supporting spells in addition to the shield skills.

It's a straw man argument because you are shoehorning a class to fill a role that while it parallels your aim, does not summarize it.
