This is FFXIV not Wow. What my point states is that this botched design of smn/sch breaks from previous FF jobs. I do have a 85 Blm. To ask any player to gimp one job over another because you were too lazy to separate a simple code to recognize a jobs strength is retarded. DO that to any other class and lets see the Flames roll. I have played every ff since Nintendo. This job path is flawed plain and simple. And no you will not see them do this with another job class. The game was advertised to be fully customizable, job switch on the fly, and reduced need for gear etc.., Smn/Sch goes against this with attribute gimp. Play ffxi Sch smn Whm Rdm Blm then you will see the progression. Until then, you flame my complaint without the knowledge of the lore or the jobs that came before.
