Yep. I'm saying proficiency isn't given because the number next to your name is 70. It's earned.

It is one of the most well oiled DPS jobs currently available, and nearly completely self sufficient. It depends on no one for its performance, and literally everything else they do get is considered a bonus.

It is engaging. It is masked by a layer of simplicity for the mastery required on a fight by fight basis, and rewarded properly for doing so.

Just because you haven't gotten to that point yet doesn't make it the job's fault. You have been given every tool you need to succeed.
