Then people saw that you could throw almost a whole pt of Lancers and Ifrit and destroy him. Class Stacking will always exist you cant get rid of it. Unless they start making Bosses that change jobs to in the middle of a fight.
Go read two posts ago. I think class stacking is fine. People have the choice to follow it and the choice not to. And yeah, I played at start when THM was the premier healer because of the frontal cone AOE. But while ARC could one-shot most mid-to-high level mobs by stacking three arrows and double-buffing you also have to remember that THM could solo Dodore.

The point is that there will ALWAYS be ways of exploiting/maximizing concepts. You ever solo/duo Great Behemoth before the 80 patch in XI? Yeah, it could be done. Complaining about class stacking is absurd. You could design perfect content and people will still get around it. That is, unless SE implements a "Barbie and Friends" concept where you can only beat content with one of each class which is just an awful idea and will cookie-cutter every fight.
