I want to be a main healer in a party. Simple as that. WHM is all I've ever wanted to be in this game, and I feel more like a gimped WHM with a BLM subjob.
I'm tired of these watered-down jack of all trades classes. I want to specialize in something and really shine.
OP: I agree with your point pretty much in full, and a few more you made as well. Had a question, when you are referring to SEN >> PLD, do you mean (SEN + GLA) >> PLD or just a straight PLD tag to whoever hits shield 50? I don't really care either way, if GLA got the chance for 2 jobs then it would be hypocritical to say CON/THM couldn't have the same privilege I suppose, although it seems an awkward progression.
The other thing I was wondering was if anyone saw sort of an odd progression from GLA to DRK as well, since gladiators in general (I'm talking NPCs here, not players, I fully support magic since ability share is built in) seem to frown on magic, I liked the idea of GLA progression possibly focusing on a bit more damage if you didn't want to fill a traditional tank role, but damage in a physical sense, elemental/magic would mainly be something defended against and not really used. (I really liked the Marauder >> Berserker idea because of this theme) But on the other hand, I suppose there should be some melee that's not 100% physical, but PLD is already breaking this habit, even if it's more of a defensive twist. I suppose what I'm saying is that if SE is going to make these decisions for me, especially with 1:1, I'd like to know so that even if the class I chose doesn't end up filling the role I want it to, it's cool because I will have an idea of how I'd like to build my character in the meantime, and keeping busy with stuff like that is really all there is to do at this point anyway.
That's just my opinion. SE sort of dug themselves into a hole with a flawed original class system so I'm not expecting any miracles until new, larger ideas start coming out, but that's far off. If something as large as a job change isn't big enough to generate excitement both at the unveiling of the jobs, and the first time you play them, then it's not going to be enough to keep anyone occupied long either way.
