    You're right, my bad lol. I never got warrior, forgot they get flash and whatnot XP Brain fart on my part. My mistake lol.

    As for quelling, the only job that requires Archer is Black Mage, and most black mages I've partied with that actually got it (which isn't too many lol) uses it at the start of fights so they don't pull hate, but that is in part because they're ranged and sometimes start casting before the tank pulls, or for AoE burns. Critical Flare can do a ton of damage and put a lot of hate on the BLM. Bard needs it as well usually for during a pull since some overzealous bards like to attack immediately when they see a lob or tomahawk go off, and others like to AoE groups of 3+ when they don't need to. Quelling certainly isn't a required skill, but is actually very useful. It's like a courtesy to use it for the tank, we don't rip hate by accident when you're trying to generate hate. Few, if any cross classable skills are required for jobs, they're tack ons with some use.

    Balancing jobs is tricky, I saw it fit for my version to have quelling for the temporary attack boost from stacked skills that could rip hate with Overpower without the enmity multiplier. I know full well what I put isn't perfectly balanced. I envisioned a short burst damage output for the job, archer seemed like it would work the best from the lack of PGL/LNC for the required second class. There are trade offs from using /THM.
