[dev 1032] What's wrong with job/subjob again?

[Kimahri]

Holy Jesus. Enough with these excuses of cookie-cutter bull****. In the end this system will fall along the same lines and it will turn into less "viable combinations" as FFXI.

Abriael let's go ahead and do something right now. Let's do some number crunching. Let's say that there were three different job/subjob combinations for every class.....This isn't true, since almost every job had well over that many viable combinations. There are twenty(20) jobs currently available in FFXI. Simple math results in 60 possible optimal builds, or "Cookie-Cutter" combinations that you could come up with. Don't know about you, but that hardly seems very limiting. You act as if every job had to sub ninja or else be scorned.

P.S. Not to mention that your character had different sets of gear for different strategies. Different merits into different jobs. And also overall different players to play their own character. For Samurai I had two sets of gear; TP and WS. For Black Mage I had three; Elemental, Enfeebling, Dark Magic. Again. That's a lot of viable combinations for your so called "Cookie-cutter" jargon.
