Idea: Class split idea for all jobs

[Shurrikhan]

Except with regards to job splits, the developers have said repeatedly they had a lot of issues with the SMN/SCH split, and how hard it was to balance the two. It will never happen again, because they literally said so.

This is sadly true. The logic to this is like complaining that a paper document wasn't sufficiently waterproof when left in a sink, so we should stop using paper altogether, but they have absolutely said that based on the SMN/SCH's failure (as per its blatantly errant) execution, never again will we see a job split.

RIP all possible decent implementations -- numerous were your lore- and mechanics-cohesive possibilities.

Pointing at games like WoW or Rift having many specs is ridiculous because WoW nearly destroyed the entire concept of specialization.

This is patently false. WoW's specialization distinction has only increased over the years. The newest expansion will be the first turn away from increased distinction, and only to a minor extent. What has diminished is solely hybridization via talents, and even that isn't true of all specs.
