I don't see a talent tree to be very useful. But if the devs would give us the opportunity to switch playstyles around that might be cool. With the the older jobs still having classes and jobs, maybe let the player decide what to emphasis? Either go more towards Archer and have a class that is very much about personal DPS like these days or go Bard and get your Stormblood support songs back in exchange for damage. Ninja is a damage dealer with heavy mudra use while Rogue specializes in group support with TA and less latency reliance.

And yes, there would be an optimal speedkill combo, but I honestly that will always be the case. Only 8 Jobs can take part in a raid so if people really want to maximise they will always find the one meta combo.
While a decent idea on paper, haven't the Devs come out and said one of the more infuriating things to balance is SMN and SCH because they both break off from Arcanist? To the point they aren't going to make another one that functions like that.
