Bad memories of what happened to RDM in XI are coming back to me. It's nearly the same thing. You don't change the job itself per say, but rather change the content around the job(s). What happens is their OP is not only taken away, they become nigh ineffective as a result. How powerful these jobs are, is a big part of their appeal... and perhaps even distaste by players who know what these jobs entail and are like, "Oh hellll no!"

Yes, they have massive utility and survivability, but they are also arguably the most difficult to play to their optimal potential due to that utility. Not everyone can, and those that can are the freakin heroes and heroines that can carry a whole group, and save a raid that would have otherwise failed. What on Earth is wrong with that?

This is atrocious to even think about.
