Yeah, I figured the job quests would have kind of taught you basic stuff. Did the level 50 pld quest and was like, hey cool, i get to tank these guys while the NPCs attack that thing over there......and fail. Turns out they'll draw the mobs of people away while I do awful pld dps. Hell, whm at least I got to heal a tree.

Anyway.

I really think the job quests would be a perfect place to teach you the powers they're giving you. Hell, ninja seems ok in the way they worked it, as in giving you the new ability then making the quest a practice using it. All the other jobs are like, hey, go kill that over there and we'll give you a new ability that you didn't need to do the job we just asked of you.
