Increase the number of meritable WS

[Alhanelem]

The merit system has never forced this kind of restriction where players were completely left out because they weren't fully meritted in one specific category. My BLM NEVER got cut out of a party because it wasn't fully spec'ed out--it still had it's utility.

So you're getting cut out of playing BLM because you haven't merited Shattersoul? Huh? How are the weapon skill merits causing this?

(some edits later) Well, If you're complaining about the addition of the SAM WS, that's because that WS is OP, not because the merit system is defective. Going back to Sparthos' post, it wouldn't be that big of a deal if the new WS were better balanced.

I agree with your post in the sense I want to be chosen because of my job's features. This needs to be addressed by balancing the jobs, not by changing the merit system. You're still going to have your problem even if you could unlock every merit WS.
