Crazy Idea: Split SCH from ARC and make it a 30+ job like HW

Even though it didn't originate in HW, if they changed the story up just a little bit, you could have it be a job that starts at 30 just like the HW jobs. You could also remove the prereq that you have a job at 50. It would be weird, but it would finally split the SCH and SMN jobs from the same XP track, which I'm sure a lot of people love, but it does make it the very odd job/class out.

An alternative would be to give it an alternative class (a new one) to start from but that's a ton more work.

Can't change titles (but it should read ACN)

Or just leave it as it is?

How about no?

How about splitting smn off from arcanist and introducing it at 90 when the rabbit offhandedly mentions that no one does summoning right and the player can be even more of a donut steel. Sch at least in lore keeps the tactical thread from acn, so is more of a natural progression.

Yeah honestly SCH follows ACN better than SMN, SMN makes -5 lore sense at this point, it can be its own class

Fixing a problem that doesn't exist, just low IQ things.

Just no, levelling 2 jobs for the price of 1 is just too good.

"Odd" isnt a good enough reason...

SCH isn't related to Archer (ARC). It is, however, branching from Arcanist (ACN).

Seriously though, there's no need to decouple SMN and SCH from ACN. The thing that needs changing is ACN should be the pet class where all pet-related management actions should be dumped. As long as FFXIV team is stubborn and does nothing to fix and make pet management work as the core of Arcanist, this issue will not be resolved.

So many points for honesty. I would definitely miss it, too.
