    I didn't paint them "Bad", I painted them weaker DPS wise as BLMs. And, like it or not, when looking at pure numbers, it's true. And everyone seems to think that only DPS numbers are important, which is also stupid except for hardcore raid content, because who cares if it takes 15 minutes to clear a dungeon instead of 10...

    There's a difference between "job balance" and "being obsessed with min-maxing". And min-maxing is only important for raids

    The game is already imbalanced. You can't have that much DPS with the exact same damage output, several healers with the same healing (and damage) output and several tanks with the exact same mitigation (and damage output) - god, why are people so focused on damage output, these days ?

    As for fun, let's bring BRD again, shall we. Suppose ARC had two specs, one being BRD and the other Bow Mage. Just look at all the threads, and you'll quickly realize that lots of people would chose BRD for the sake of "fun" even if the damage output is lower than a Bow Mage.

    And it would quickly become a non issue, since you'll be able to clear every content with any of those specs eventually.
