Giving players the ability to pick a weapon that works well against heavy armor on the fly is what made Warband so balanced. You get to adapt to your situation at respawn.
I think you got a good point here. For me, pre-made classes could work only if a flexible choice of arms and armor would be available within the class system. In the battlefield situation you need to adapt your equipment, so it counteracts the type of enemy u're facing. Fighting Khuzait horse-archers requires not only different strategies, but also different arms than an encounter with Sturgia. This is oblivious for anyone who tried singleplayer, so I really can't understand why Talewords went with such an restrictive system for the multiplayer game. WTF Talewords?
