Thread: A plea for 3.0 and beyond: Job Customization

You can't really have customization in a MMO you have the illusion of customization. In WoW you use to be able to pick like 70 talents from 3 different trees. Then the devs realized how bad it was because there was the illusion of choice because a min/maxer would come along and say these are the abilities and traits you need to pick to do max dps, healing, the best tank. Then if you didn't pick these 70 talents that were figured out to be mathematically the best you were considered a noob or bad. They just got rid of the whole system and went with something much simpler.

If they went with pick any 5 abilities from every class type system in FFXIV any dps who did not pick, raging strikes, blood for blood, internal release, mercy stroke, would be considered bad. That is at least 4 abilities perma locked. The same handfull of dps increasing abilities would be used on every dps job. If someone wanted to go for some kind of unique healing dps with cure and stoneskin they would get shunned and kicked form the group and people would be like why did you pick cure and not raging strikes.
