    In general, this Dev team favors balance over creativity. It's easier for them to balance by near-mirroing skills. Look at MCH and Bard. And they really did it with WHM and AST. Cure 1/2. Regen. AOE1/2. OGCD instant (Essential Dignity/Tetra). The are some flavor differences, and a few small thing that differentiate them. But from a high level they are remarkably similar. Can't really blame the payer base for pigeon-holing them a bit.

    And the dude yelling at you for not using Noct in Cape Westwind was just a bonehead. That's not an example of community-mind.

    I wish that was true, honestly.

    But I agree with you that the devs are favoring balance over creativity, at least for now. Since we have only 8 spots in a raid team, if they get too creative they'd have a big problem designing fights to not favor one specific style over the other. I believe we'll see more variety in the next expansion.
