How a slight change could open GLA for a future DPS job

[Argyle_Darkheart]

Is SCH useful ? Yes, and it's all that matters.

A better question would be: is SCH unique? Yes, it is. Being useful is certainly not all that matters. You, yourself, suggested the need for unique class/jobs.

Like I said, there's no point in doing multiples jobs with the same role from the same class, as they'd play almost the same. And there's not point of having jobs, if we stay at one job for each class.

Jobs are a flavorful way to augment your class. Is that not enough? Other classes may or may not get second jobs, but I, personally, am not that interested in seeing it.

So, Defiance is uncreative because it adds enmity ? Or the enmity combo from WAR ?

Uh...? I don't know what you're getting at here.

Defiance opens up the rest of WAR's kit. Really, I think WAR is the best designed job we have so far.

MNK's job is to DPS, yet they have a GCD Silence that cost a lot of TP and deal poor damage (Less than Shield Bash, in fact)
BRD's job is to DPS, yet they have songs that reduce their damage
WHM's job is to heal, yet they have several damage spells, and even a stance to purposely reduce their healing potency.
Are all these "bad design" ?

I think Arm of the Destroyer is terribly designed, yes.
BRD's songs, while reducing your individual damage, can improve the overall DPS of the raid. They're also functions exclusive to Bard alone. Even so, I'm not sure I like the way songs are designed currently. At least not with BRD defined as a DPS role, such as it is. Many BRDs feel discouraged from singing because of the way its designed. I think the balance is okay though.
Being able to DPS is part of a healer's role (at least for the healers we have so far), so, no, it's not bad design. It's also not a fair comparison. Being able to contribute more DPS is far more valuable than another interrupt option.
