i agree that job balance in this game is at an all time low right now. I think the only jobs wanted are PLD, WHM, SCH, BLM, GEO, COR and BLU. pretty much if you are not one of those 7 jobs you're the wrong job which is pretty bad considering there is 22 jobs in this game so only 1/3 of them are used.

But at the same time SE has a great deal of blame on themselves for creating such an artificial difficulty to this game with NM's the spam AoE attacks so often and having mobs with such over the top evasion that DD jobs are not reliable compared to just using magic which really can't miss. I don't think its more the jobs aren't balanced (with the exception of BLU cause lets face it when 1/2 a server is playing the same job *cough RDM days cough* there is an issue with that job being too powerful) then there is with content being one sided for one strategy only.
