@Ryuko, I appreciate your reply more than what I got from someone else. Regardless, I know I still have much to learn about a lot of things, but talking down to me with sarcastic and rude replies is not the way to show someone your knowledge on a subject. If someone is going to treat me like an ignorant child, I'd at least like if they didn't be improper and downcast things to me about what they're saying in the process, I do nonetheless appreciate your reply over the other's I have gotten. It didn't seem that he could understand where I was coming from in the slightest, and it instead went the course of "you don't know anything about XIV despite your months of time played because you brought up XI." Which I do not think ruins anyone's credibility at all. The first MMO iteration of XIV was a flop that failed horribly. If we're going to pretend that their most successful and most profitable game of all time so far doesn't matter at all, which was an MMO and a clear ground-layer for a lot of things, then we should be comparing XIV to WoW instead based on what I've gotten.

I again reiterate that for Coil, and Extreme fights, that I do not use Arcanist. I recognize the limitations that it does have and with what it has, that I can't make something work. For everything else, I can do SMN or ACN and get decent results with either, I simply like Arcanist better because Carbuncle started it all really and those earlier mentioned variety moves.

Because popular opinion again dictates based on the logical fallacy "appeal to the masses", I am going to now concretely say that all I have said is my opinion and mine alone. I will not play how others want me to unless it very seriously impacts me to do the Role. I have heard others say they see the merits to using a Class over a Job, but because of the mechanics that SE put in place, this is what we have to live with now. There is no equality for all jobs, and there probably won't be for awhile. We do know however, that after XIV, we won't be seeing this feature ever again. Re-watch the recent Live-Letters if you so wish everyone else, they will not be implementing something like this again. I am also done interacting with this thread for the time being. Good night.
