You do realize from the get go the vision for FFXIV was party diversification, they didn't create jobs simply so they could be sidelined...
What about the static groups who have doubles of things because that's what our members want to play? It's got nothng to do with deliberately side-lining people and everything to do with wanting to encourage folk to play what they want. If that means we bring 2 PLDs or 2 BLMs or 2 MNKs or 2 BRDs (all things we do regularly), then that's what we do. The LB change is ridiculous and depending on the severity of the nerf could seriously hinder a party's ability to complete content.

Bring the player, not the class. We shouldn't be forced to bring one of everything to ensure optimal use of LB.
