This idea of having to spend time or money to respec your character every time you want to change a role (for now just the ACN switching between healing and dps) is the exact reason Dual Spec options became a thing.
Many people have your same opinion but in the end it is a mute point because those 30 points mean next to nothing unless you are min/maxing. 30 less points in INT will not break your SMN DPS where anyone will actually notice. 30 less points on SCH will not break your healing to where anyone will notice (even yourself probably). The point system was a way for SE to give us the illusion of choice. But in the end they mean nothing. You do not have to choose between jobs.I have never bought a trait reset outside of respecing from VIT into DEX or STR when I was getting my relics for a few jobs cause I needed the HP for Titan. I have beat t5 with SMN and with SCH and didn't respec and no one said anything and I didn't feel as if I wasn't pulling my weight. So you can stop worrying about them forcing you to choose because you are simply creating the illusion of no choice yourself.
