Giving each job a second spec: would it work?

[Dhex]

Devs didn't like the design and don't want to go that direction, is that good enough?
(not blaming op for bringing it up, just that there is a reason it most likely won't happen)

Sorry but it seems to me the argument behind this changes any time it's brought up.

First it's "Arcanist was a failed experiment" except that the Jobs stemming from Arcanist are both very successful and exemplary in their roles.
Then the argument becomes "Well Devs don't like it" because it's extra work for them to balance stuff? Isn't that what they have to do any time the release anything new? Are all the jobs really on equal footing because last I checked there is still an optimum party setup...

So basically your argument is "We can't have this thing that you're asking for because I say it takes Devs time and effort to make that." To which I would respond - well duh. Anything we ask for takes time and effort to make - be it a minion, or cash shop mount, or anything else.
