Least played job?

[kukurumei]

Ahaha agreed. SCH is currently the most diversified job in the entire game. No idea what all the drama is about.

There seems to be a high amount of arcanist based elistism that think their way is the only way, and everyone else falls at their knees when they arrive. Schs and smn love to talk the good talk but rarely make the good walk. (That isn't to say mnk love is left out)

A good whm is just as good if not better then a sch, suffice to say almost any content has been done amirably with 2xwhm where 2xsch is a huge nightmare.

Good is good regardless of jobs. A super whm can pre-cast those stoneskins and cure's etc to make a sch sit in the corner and twiddle their thumbs all the same as the reverse.

And really shielding is over rated, any sch will tell you that. There's a time and situation for everything. I rarely even aqu these days until pressure points to sustain a near infinite supply of mp heals, and burst ratio.

There is enough diversity that there isn't really any lacking classes, though tanks are always in high demand. I would say PLD almost always in high demand.

Much like how 2x sch vs 2xwhm is a nightmare on groups 2xWars is a nightmare as oppose to 2xpld.

So I would say in general, PLD is least played because the pool of pld is just too small for what they are needed for.

Skills aside there is always a fairly high demand for a PLD to join anything and everything, and a 2nd pld doesn't quite hurt very much as long as skill is there or even not.
