Job Specific Traits?

Wont ever happen. All jobs are made to be almost identical to each other this way every job is viable to all content. I mean we don't even have an elemental wheel anymore for elements.

This, SE feared that kind of thing would lead to some jobs being excluded from some content.
And when you see that there is people already excluding jobs for a dps gap so tiny it wouldn't make any content noticeably more difficult, can you really blame them?

Which always confused me because it's still there in the character creation screen when you pick your god.

I was never sure why this confounded some people. It was never meant to give you any kind of advantage. The God you choose and the element associated with him/her is meant to be the one you feel represents you the most. However, it is weird that elemental resistances are even in the game. I'm guessing it was something that was implemented in 1.0 that didn't get scrapped as the idea was to have an elemental wheel in 2.0, but later discarded.

I do miss the wheel, but whoo-boy it's a lot of tiresome coding that I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to skip entirely.
