I am aware, and it was deliberate, not only in differentiating it from FF11's scythe-wielding suicide soldier but also in expressing my general disdain for everything FF11. FF11 is my constant example of everything done wrong, and I feel like I could insert "NIN" into everything Gwaeron has thus far said as an example of what a broken disaster like this actually looks like.

You're already all of 10-15% behind a BRD. Grab your DPS accessories, respec to STR, and give it a whirl. There's no room to buff. That is not mention that you're taking up valuable skill slots for something that the job actually does, resulting in a rubbish job that is gimped in its primary role for the sake of being gimped at something it isn't meant to be used for. If you rolled a tank, play a tank. If you rolled a DPS, play a DPS. If you want to be a godlike end-all-be-all, play a single-player game.

It hasn't. If you somehow believe that SMN can heal for nuts, then there's no convincing you of anything.
