Oh, and yes you need to have a Tank a Healer and a DPS if you want to teach your mentor. Why? Because trying to teach someone to DRG without having the perspective of how things play out from the other 2 ends of the job-spectrum is terrible. Tanks who have played healers and DPS are generally better tanks (Because they understand how Healer DPS and DPS positional works), etc.
All I'm missing is power leveling the last few levels into Scholar/Summoner (Which I need to do anyway) and I qualify. The pre-reques do one thing an one thing only. Keep newbies from teaching newbies. Which I think is what it was intended to do.

Skill levels are always a variable. You can have people who've played since 1.0 dropped way back when but if they "Do what they want, cause don't tell them how to play" their skill level is vastly lower than the guy 30 days into his first character who master his Main Job, picked up a few side classes, and is always giving his all in every run he does.

And the spectrum goes all over the place. I'm towards the middle. I Casually Raid. I run dungeons and some EX Primals, I've beaten coil but don't (And likely won't) run Alexander's Savage Modes, And I do my best with what I know. I still end up learning though quite frequently so I'm no master. But I try, Pay attention, and give rookies an honest chance. Something a lot of "Filthy Casuals", "Hard Cores", and "Master Elites" refuse to do.

Thus the mentor system.
