Why complain about balance - recent job changes.

You have too much blind faith.

Take for example spirits. We had 75 as cap for years, and these were the most unbalanced (in a negative way) thing in the game and nothing was done about it. Believing that SE magically will fix them for their level 99 cap release would be nothing but insanity incarnated.

I'm pretty sure jobs like DRK or PLD have no worries though. I'm sure those will automatically solve themselves up to 99. It isn't like anything is broken there, they just aren't best in Abyssea.

This is the part where the entire FFXI community completely forgot that spirits are THE most essential part of a well played SMN. Thanks Mala for being the SMN advocate for the FFXI community! I think I see a hordecore junior!

What I understand from the conversations on this forum is the usefulness of jobs cycle through the different areas. Also, I have come to understand that it is acceptable to table the job you are best at in favor of whats needed (even if you are mediocre on the one you are playing). So for everyone feeling useless at the moment it's ok. Your time will come. Meanwhile, relax and take one for the team.

It is hard to judge something essential when it is in terrible condition. But one could pay attention to the fact that for 10 years Summoners have run around and cast cure III from /WHM while they had access to cure V from spirits. Ever see any WHMs run around as /RDM casting cure IIIs because they couldn't use their own spells?

It would be ridiculous to have to sub RDM to cure on WHM. It has always been ridiculous to need to sub WHM to cure on SMN.

Naturally though a light spirit shouldn't beat a WHM. But there are many stages between "better than WHM" and "So terrible you'd rather have a cure III".

dude, every job has useless abilites and spells >_> just think as spirits like that. you dont see bsts going " AH EM GEEEEE I KANT USE COURIORER KARRY NO MOREZ!!!" its because something better and more useful replaced it >_>

and ill prove anyone in the damn world wrong if they say any job is "useless" or not good enough for abyssea. i can jump on redmage and drop consistent 3-4k vorpalblades non stop, and i can solo just about any Seal NM that dosent have stupid mechanics >_>
