Are you talking pre-Abyssea back to the start of the game. MB's went away when DD's became over-powered. But, there used to be a time when MB'ing mobs was a faster way to get experience. Parties actually used to be created around what skill-chains the DD's could do so the BLM could MB. It used to control pt invites and handicapped some jobs. With the advent of the very powerful DD, BLM's then found themselves in that same boat.
