    And therein lies your problem. And thanks for the Hyperbole, makes it easier.

    Just because different classes have almost the same efficiency doesn't mean the road to the result is the same. E.g you cant tell me with a straight face that SMN and BLK, the Caster dps, are anything alike.

    The issue isn't that classes have almost the same efficiency, its that they have toolkits that have reskinned/renamed versions that are the exact same as other classes, one only need to look at Astrologian to see the worst offender.

    Oh please, tell me how AST is a carbon copy of WHM. What do you mean they have the same very basic toolkit and split off at a certain point. I.E Raw healing power and damage dealing for WHM and Support RNG buffs and pre fight adaptability for AST. Almost like they 2 classes have the same efficiency (jury's still out on AST) but have different flavours.

    But no. They both have a Cure 1+2, AoE heal, Esuna and a raise variant. They must be exact same class. GG well played.

    I don't think you understand what ckc22 means by his statement. If what you are saying is that variety and variation is BAD and UNNECESSARY then he is sarcastically responding that 'then the game doesn't need, for example in the healer category, Astrologians, White Mages and Scholars. We should just have a single unvarying class called HEALER' only then can we achieve the homogenized, bland and 'balanced' future you are advocating for.
