IMO, it's a perfectly viable option whether or not you want to admit it. You can give me a list of 10000 alternatives, but that doesn't change the fact that switching to a class is still a viable option.
Never said it's not an option.

I said it's not some super-effective strategy. Carrying LS members can quite easily be put into the training wheels category.

Problem with that is, getting used to a class-based strat will be counter-productive to learning how to execute the job-based strat. The job-based strat is bound to be the most effective strat. Why? That's the whole point of the Job system. If the most effective strategy for Full Party endgame content is not being done with every player on jobs, the job system is failing and needs to be rebalanced.

If it does end up being that the best way to clear content will involve using classes, I'll have my parties run with players on classes as well with the best of 'em. I will refuse to accept that it's intended though, because it undermines the whole point.
