Then you might as well make armor free to use by any profession.
And with diminished profession differences, you might as well take away all profession abilities and stick them to runes instead, and increase the gap between Minor/Major/Superior runes to compensate (+3/+6/+9).
Finally, rename the game to Rune Wars.
A game like that fine with me, as long as none of that never ever happens to Guild Wars
Rune of minor Protection Prayers on my E/Mo so I don't have to use a Candy Corn or Golden Egg to bring up the attribute just 1 more point and get -3 energy on hit instead of -4 while using Protective Bond.
It'd be interesting to run a Ritualist minion master with 14-16 death magic so I could get those extra minions. With boon of creation and explosive growth, it would be pretty damn fun.
