No point to specs in a game where you can level every class/job on the same character. Instead of trying to make a sword using DPS, they could just make a Samurai or Duelist job or something. If they wanted to give BLM a melee spec, they could just make a Red Mage or a Magic Fencer job instead. I would rather have 2 completely different flavored jobs than 1 job that can do 2 things.
