Discrimination of certain jobs - your opinion

[HiroKirito]

according to many PF and static recruiting adverts.

Like I said ignore those PFs, people focused on absolute meta usually arent worth joining. A good player is a good player regardless of job choice. But I think people are too rigid in general and should be more flexible. My static for example runs 2 melees, a ranged phys & a caster, we are free to switch jobs within that role whenever but we do default to more utility when going for speed.

Personally I don't see it like that right now. Balancing isn't perfect either, it needs some tweaks and there is some strong utility but I also know some very good Sams who out dps me as they should, but if I out dps a Sam on my ninja in a 0 death run then I'm sorry that's just a bad Sam who isn't doing what their jobs built to do and from my experience are usually the people asking for nerfs or buffs rather than just getting better.

Tbh, I appreciate people levelling multiple jobs, but for me it was a very hard path to get my SAM dps up to where it should be. It might be just me, but it's one of the more complicated jobs to get 100% right and good at. Someone said to me once: It's easy to be a decent Samurai, it's hard to be a really outstanding Samurai.
I want to be one of those top dps SAM, but I know there is still a lot of practice ahead of me. And I'd rather get really, really fucking good in one job than levelling multiple jobs for the sake of fitting within the meta.
It wouldn't harm some other players to adapt that kind of thinking either; why being mediocre at many when you need to first nail your main?

Once I can sleepwalk this job, I might be thinking about taking on another class. But I will also not level a NIN for the buff; as I stated - it kind of goes against my beliefs. I get your point, of course. It's really handy to be able to switch around within a static.
