It's weird - I always associated the all in one "cowls" with thm - especially that red robe with the gold eye mask

That's because, back in Version 1, BLM didn't offer enough extra DPS to offset the advantages of Raise. And the ability to stack materia with no stat caps meant a decent triple meld was better than Darklight which was the best non-crafted gear at the time.

Garuda and 17-minute speed runs would like a word with you. Not to mention you had WHM, BRD, and PLD at the time who could raise, potentially having four people with raise if you had two healers in the party. People wanted all the DPS they can get. I barely saw anyone play the class version of anything after jobs came out.

Aegis has the right of it, less so on the Raise, moreso on the melds and DPS. THM could put out much higher numbers than BLM due to melding Vanya and being able to cross-class PGL/LNC/ARC abilities. The 5 you lost from your job were nothing compared to the 10 you gained from being a class. BRD/ARC were in a similar position. For Dzaemal Darkhold runs it was common to have 2 WHM, 1-2 PLD (1 as a backup) a1-2 BRD and the rest ARC since ARC could pull much higher numbers than BRD.

We can still somewhat do this today. MRD and ACN can both pull equal to higher numbers than WAR/SMN but again it takes a lot of perfectly melded gear. Well I should say we could as I haven't read much about it lately. But in any case it could bring MRD DPS to just under DRG a few months ago IIRC. But who brings a tank to do a DPS's job? lol.

Does anyone else find it amusing that this 15 page thread is nearly 12 pages of complaining over optional housing instead of actual content/balance?
Fucking mindblowing.

I'm very lost by that so yes..

While it would take time to develop, personally instanced housing is entirely feasible in a technical sense. The district system is not as friendly to it I'd agree.

Expansion was said to be out sooner than players think, whatever that means lol. I imagine the patch being the end of this month or next at the latest.

I think this is why they added instanced rooms to free companies. All we need now are window planters and I'd personally be happy with that.
