So you would say that by having the abilty to maybe land 1 enfeeble, that job has "enfeebling capabilities"? Well, in that case my thf is a freaking BEAST, because i can aspir with a ws, and do magic damage with others! That means I'm like a blm now too, right? Oh, and my WAR has healing capabilities if I strap on a sword and use sanguine blade! Having 1 enfeeble is far more than simply "limited" . Its an afterthought.

That's exactly the point though! This is the counterargument to your assertion that WHM is a healing job, no more, and thus should not have access to non-healing traits. No job in FFXI is so narrowly defined as that - all jobs have tools that extend beyond their primary role. Your THF is not a "beast" magic DD with Aeolian Edge, but it has the capability and sometimes it's actually quite handy. You're not a BLM, but you don't have to be in order to deal magic damage in moderation. WHM with additional non-healing traits would be exactly the same. They're not meant to be beasts! It's meant to be fun, useful in niche situations, and something job enthusiasts can work on to get the most out of their favourite jobs. These off-role capabilities aren't something we can exclude just because WHM is a healer, or THF is a melee DD.

However, if we were operating under the paradigm that jobs should only have capabilities precisely within their defined role, THF shouldn't have Aeolian Edge at all!
