Classes vs Jobs status?

[dinnertime]

Honestly I think SCH didn't fail, it did pretty damn great at 50. It was a job much preferred in every static because it can easily do good DPS without wasting too much MP so I believe it wasn't a failure. It became even more powerful at 60, too powerful I think.
SMN's side however had left a bad impression to players because of how weak it is...not until Heavensward however.

EDIT: I understand that ACN branches to two jobs, meaning both share the AP of ACN. I guess the only way SE could fix this is by making the AP of SCH and SMN separate (which I think they mentioned they're planning or not?)

Neither job is a failure in and of themselves. What's a failure is how difficult it made balancing them because they share so many skills, not to mention the fact that they share those stat points despite each using a different stat.
