I understand your sentiment, Omnys, but in my view the problem is the job balance, not the job point system.

This is true, but they have never ever achieved balance in this game. Any game that does, does that through homogenization making everybody the same. I love that dnc, sch, blu, nin are very very distinct jobs and I don't want any to lose their flavor in favor of balance.

So, with that conclusion, something has to be done about the JP system.

The world of 2h weapons need a buff too, and it's a simple one. The base stats and augment stats' total accuracy for 2h weapons from a boss tier are about equivalent to those offered to 1h weapons meant to be dual-wielded. Grips do not make up for this. I believe the ACC augment, and perhaps almost all augments on 2h weapons (atk, str, dex) should be doubled in potency. It's not an "I want" thing either. I have no desire to play war, drk, sam or especially drg.

I know two people that have taken RNG up in great burns never firing a single arrow. Likewise you could Master blu without learning a single spell (well, you'd want to go learn Erratic Flutter for Haste II, and probably magic fruit or plemilune).

Other jobs, like THF and SMN are like gimp versions of favored jobs (DNC and SCH).
