I MAIN DRG but I can perfectly viably tank AND heal end game content despite my tank and healer Jobs being below my DRG in ilevel. My SCH and WAR/PLD aren't just for "screwing around". You 'main" one class and if you handle your tomestones and Coil drops right you have multiple other classes you can viable bring to raid content if someone in your group is absent. Unless you have no life you can only reasonably carry one alt char or MAYBE two anyways if you're lucky with Coil statics.
