If You Were A Class/Job Designer...

Forgive me if I miss the point, but warrior having to lose it's highest enmity/dps combo in order to apply it's amazing debuffs is op? Warrior broken?

Yeah, I think the original context of this discussion starts back a page or two. The thought/ discussion topic at the moment is:
Q: why not make WAR's highest dps combo SE instead of BB?

A: it would break several positive components of the WAR playstyle.

But if SE was war's highest dps combo, that would mean OT war becomes EVEN better because it no longer has to trade dps for raid utility.

^ fixed that for ya.

And PLD would be even "better" if all basic skills got merged into a single skill... But going into a duty and spamming 1 button over and over isn't fun.

It's better numbers, but a poorer design and playstyle

Mate what I said the first time was not wrong. Did not need fixing.

Lies. Better numbers + removal of playstyle depth aren't universally "better", especially in a thread focusing on design.
