The sooner(!?) you change vocation, the better. As you progress in level it becomes harder, so if you wanna be an advanced vocation, my suggestion is to change as soon as you have the oppertunity.

Thus making it "harder", or less easier (in gaining experience) to gain additional points, skills and the likes. So, the sooner you change vocation, the easier it is to create a complete vocation-master earlier. If you realize you don't want to be a fighter after all, you can always change to something else, but you have to start a new vocation with a high-level character, making it harder to gain low-level skills for a high-level character.

My first playthrough was as a ranger, but never got hold of a longbow that was powerful enough to deal good damage toward the end of the game. Now I'm playing as a Assassin, but thinking of maybe switching to a mystic knight. Can Mystic Knights use swords, or only maces(and staves)?

Cool, maybe I'll stay fighter or warrior. It's pretty awesome to be a ranger, you can take down a cyclops with ONE ARROW using Great Gamble ;) but it does use all of your stamina.
