Or, you know, picking classes which bring the most to a raid for faster clears and thus better productivity?

Seriously, people act like choosing the obvious best jobs is being a tool or something.
These are not small differences. 20% balance and chain is the difference between wiping from low DPS/multiple deaths and clearing.

SE has a lot of balancing issues to solve for both WHM and SCH

I agree I've seen plenty of AST-AST and AST-WHM PFs. As a WHM I've been locked out of quite a few PFs in favor of AST so I can't even begin imagining what it's like as SCH.

Given how often groups (even farm PFs) hit enrage when they aren't actually dying to mechanics due to some stupid error, Balance is a huge asset and those party requirements make perfect sense.

I would expect things to be different for statics.

As gear gets better I expect farm parties for older primals to lean towards double AST more, possibly single WHM/AST. We'll see.
