Goodbye, and good luck.

I’m also transitioning in DT towards more being a “wildcard main” focusing on the shield healers, PLD and PIC because I just don’t have it in me to exclusively main a healer anymore given nothing ever changes anymore

This is kind of what I've been doing for years.

At around the start of Shadowbringers, I felt like no single job or role was "fulfilling enough" for me to "main it." If I say I'm a dancer main, it's because I enjoy it more than, say, dark knight, by a very small margin. This is to say, I have my preferences within each role but the feeling of "THIS IS IT, THIS is the job for me" has been lost for years now. This is kind of unfortunate, because I think being able to attach yourself to a certain job creates a stronger sense of identity, and to some extent, a sense of "ownership" of the job. The flip-side of it is that... well, if you identify strongly with a job, and CSU3 turns it on its head, "ruining" it, well then your enjoyment of the game takes a huge hit. This was your main job... but now it's something almost unrecognizable and unenjoyable. The linchpin of your enjoyment in this game is now gone.

In order to stave off these feelings, I pretty much have adopted a mentality that attaches itself to no one single job or role. There is no linchpin. This is literally the only way I am able to continue on with the game when it comes to the gameplay side of things. If a job is drastically changed in a direction that does not vibe with me, well... real bummer, but time to move on to something else, I guess.

Let me be clear, I don't like this mentality. I would much prefer to have a job to call my own and feel secure in knowing that it's one I'll be able to continue to call my own, but it is simply not sustainable with the way the game is currently designed.
