Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Skiros]

The idea of job balance in FFXIV is not as binary as it is in other MMOs because the job system is so flexible.

ROFL

As if FF14 doesn't have one of the strictest job system among MMOs because there's only one build, only one objective (damage, even during progression), only one relevant piece of content where balance matters (raids).

Your arguments are impressionistic and unhelpful as always, Skiros.

It's not like we need multiple builds per job when one character can swap and play 20 jobs ,sure it could be more interesting, but not really when the gigabrains figure out what the meta is and everyone just builds that. Yes, you need damage to kill a boss?(though I do agree the end-game healing could be required more) And of course the balance is geared towards the raid? Is an MMO not supposed to balance for it's end-game content? What do you want, balance based off PotD?

In WoW I PvP'd hardcore for years throughout Vanilla and early BC as a healing/support focused hybrid Shaman build. Once the focus switched to Arena, Resto Shaman was lacking compared to Druid and my EU to NA latency was the final nail in the coffin. My character was basically dead outside of dwelling on past glories by the Orgrimmar gate.

With FFXIV's job system, at least I have the option of switching to a more viable class where my latency wouldn't make things so unforgiving. With WoW I basically had to toss aside years of HKs, gear, titles and reputation if I wanted to be active again.

Traditional critical thinking and comprehension are not required educational skills in most countries anymore, no.
Hence the Healer role!
