    A Paradigm Shift

    I have my own question for this topic, In 2.0 there were two specific classes that were both Casters, but not healers. Black Mage and Summoner. The former's forte was Area of Effect attacks (Fire II, Blizzard II, Freeze and Flare). Conversely the Summoner's forte was single target AoEs such as Bio, Bio II and Miasma. In 3.0 The two swapped roles. while they are still effective in their former roles, Dreadwyrm Trance and Enochian, and the spells they unlock or enhance changed their playstyle so they they became superior on the others role in comparison to their own. BLM was "eased" into this by the nerfing of their AoE Spells and the buffs to their single target spells even before the expansion

    Suppose Warrior was subjected to a similar fate, being focused on being the Meat Shield fantasy instead of the traditional archetype, while Paladin or more appropriately, Dark Knight became more DPS focused in comparison to Warrior. Would you want such a change?
