This is my guess.. but maybe the job simplification is to set it up for latter content that will need to introduce new skills. I feel that way with Reaper and Summoner at the moment. I would say Sage; but most healers except for Astro has been simplified already. Though I do understand the frustration that level 90 should be encouraging players to enhance their skills. Its literally 10 levels away from the overall level cap of any major final fantasy game. I do wonder if they'll make a level squish so level 100 will still be iconic. I really can't say for sure.

I main WHM, so I am use to a more direct/simple play style. But I like that its direct; but I wouldn't mind the job having more to it while still being direct. Its nice to take the job to the next level and get super good at it.
