SE still needs to make more jobs work well with others and buff skills from jobs that need it or they can remove slashing, peircing, blunt damage from all jobs and boost all jobs damage accordingly, something i fear they will do since so many jobs are left out from party compositions. we will never have jobs on a even playing field, either your bring DPS, Utility, or alittle of both. the problem is some jobs dont have enough to satisfy the group, or hardly anything helpful for the party. looking at MCH/BRD, their whole 3.0 toolkit was placed in Melee and casters role action and they never gave MCH compensation for its lose but BRD was greatly compensated. Hell the MCH/WHM got it the worse in 4.0. for losing their toolkit to help others fill role actions, the DRK is a bad design for what people have to endure just to push out damage. Hopefully they have been listening to people about WHM/MCH/DRK and what needs improving for these three jobs, i think the rest are in a good spot for now.

You fear they will remove slashing, blunt and piercing? I'm praying they finally do. Despite being a DRG main myself, I fancy bouncing jobs yet feel obligated to stay on DRG otherwise my group loses 400 damage for no damn reason. It more or less assures DRG will always be a meta lock because like I said, very few range DPS want anything to do with a group running without one.

And the jobs are in a decent spot at best. NIN/DRG still utterly dominates the melee scene because MNK and SAM simply lack any answer to Trick Attack, Litany and aggro management. If Piercing dies, this may open up the DRG spot but NIN's locked pretty tightly. On the caster side, RDM could use better support options as its still a noticeably inferior choice over BLM/SMN outside prog.
