    The problem with freelancer being able to mix and match others traits is that the phantom jobs are all so carefully constructed to be just above useless that mixing and matching thier traits won’t actually benefit anything because nothing synergises with each other, like you can’t use time mage haste on berserker because it’s rage isn’t actually auto attacks it’s fake casts disguised as auto attacks, you can’t use starfall to cause damage to yourself to proc battle bell because bell is designed to only proc from enemies hitting you, not you damaging yourself

    So if freelancer was allowed to pull let’s say 3 abilities from any class then a boring as hell meta would form that basically amounts to “everyone play tank and stick prediction meteor/Ilunaki and rage on their bar for more damage

    Freelancer being mix and match doesn’t make the system any more customisable because none of the skills actually synergise with each other

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
