Honest question: If every player/class/job is equal,who is unique? (Gameplay topic)

[Pantz]

There are too few differences. Just as you say that I'm ignoring the differences, you seem to be ignoring the similarities. There are more similarities than differences. I'm not trying to start a fight here but that's what it looks like to me.

Those differences already make a huge difference in playstyle. I don't know why you see more similarities than differences but I have to change my mindset and playstyle by a lot when I play each class. I see a lot more difference than similarities.

Adding the skills you suggested to add more difference will only make people prefer one class over the other. People are going to demand a certain class for a fight and other classes will lose out in trying to join a fight.

For example your PLD and WAR suggestion. In a fight with a powerful aoe that is hard to heal, people will want PLDs only. In a fight that needs more dps, people will want WARs only. Having skills that are too unique and powerful will cause a mindset where certain classes are left out of fights altogether.
