Predictions for job(s) in the next expansion?

In this universe..... they are designed specifically to allow for 2 melee dps. Has been that way in terms of fight design since the game first came out.

"To allow for" is not the same as "balanced around." Fights in this game do not require 2 melee, they are not even remotely balanced around 2 melee.

Look at how mechanics are divided up in many of those fights. Often there often are mechanics that have 4 close positions (suitable for the 2 tanks and 2 melee) and 4 far positions (suitable for the 2 healers and 2 ranged).

Again, just because the fights ALLOW YOU to use double melee does not mean they are BALANCED AROUND using double melee. It would be more accurate to say they are designed for using 2 ranged, 2 tanks, and 2 healers. Everything else is purely a matter of preference although the role bonus is an incentive for you to bring at least one melee, one caster, and one phys ranged.
