Why the hell is there a cooldown when you switch jobs?

[zdub303]

With the cool down resets this is an easier way for SE to keep you from using a CD on class 1 with a two minute timer, switching to class 2, then back to class 1 to reset the timer before the original 2 minute timer had refreshed. The way it works currently is MUCH easier than trying to keep track of all the individual cool downs for 20 different classes/jobs so you can't exploit.

Sure it sucks. but for SE it beats the alternative work/code required.

Simple, and less frustrating alternative, would be to set everything to its recast timer once you change classes.

90s recast? gotta wait 90s (okay, sounds fair). 2.5s recast? gotta wait 30s (wtf seriously why?)
