It will just be sch/smn (and other classes that have jobs with differing roles) who are screwed over, because the design is messed up.

All these arguments that say sch/smn deserve to be gimped because of them sharing a class will mean nothing then.
I can easily see the second monk job relying on DEX or the thaumaturge job that relying on PIE instead. Especially the second, killing yourself to cast Meteor is a fine series tradition.
