Focus Classes amongst their respective Jobs

[Dzian]

Classes are for solo play, jobs are for party play. Why does that need to change?

because classes are worthless in solo.

With the exception of BLM, I feel all the jobs can solo as well or better than their class counterparts.

a warrior solo's better than a marauder, even after the steel cyclone changes.
a whm solo's better than a cnj, (regen your self and just nuke like crazy)
a brd solo's better than an arc. (people disagree here but while invigorate keen flurry blood for blood etc may boost your spike damage they cannot keep up with the tp skill spam offered by paeon of war over time.
pld solos better than gla, theres very little in the way of skills you can set that will make up for losing sw damage and dv's mitigation. even more so if you blood for blood your sw gives you a chunk of hp back
a blm can solo better than a thm convert is really nice and sleepga is a life saver for aggro,
