    Give another job a silence move!

    So far to my knowledge only Paladins and Bards can Silence. Selene can but no one is going to rely on a scholar using that gimp fairy to silence... Maybe Monk or Blm can get a silence move. Actually I dont understand why BLM doesnt even have it in the first place...

    Monk has a silence move

    It just isn't as efficient as PLD/BRD because it is on GCD and means they lose DPS when using.

    They should take it off GCD then.

    If it only was on gcd would still be something. You have to be in opo opo form to trigger the silence effect, so it's totally unreliable. They only fight where mnk can silence it's ads, and even there he have to focus only in that and leave be dps

    Probably because Silence is typically a White Magic spell. I assume we'll be seeing it if Time Mage ever make it to Eorzea though, maybe Conjurer will get it when the level cap rises though.

    Probably been said, but what they should do - Make this a FF game, allow mages to debuff with a silence spell. Just so simple.

    Four jobs have silence moves, and there's silencing potions for emergencies. Also, you can actually solo silence every single content that requires silence with a single monk.

    They arent as effective... as using a bard or paladin.

    So what? some jobs are good at certain things. It shouldn't be the case that all jobs are good at/can do everything.

    Actually I would argue MNK (who I assume is the class your referring) are just as effective if not more so, not only do I solo T1 and potentially T2 if I wished, but MNK can silence more often than any class and it is AoE. Granted the only drawback is the opo-opo requirement and its hit on DPS/TP, but MNK can silence something 3 or 4 times before anyone elses silence is ready again. Not to mention Perfect Balance gives you an on demand silence every two minutes should you use it for that.
