Well, so far I like it, I'm 75, it seems like there's a lot of OGCDs to keep track of and it's a bit overwhelming, but it's a matter of practice I suppose. It doesn't feel easy that's for sure, and I can imagine the amount of OGCD weaving in the level 80 phase phoenix being pretty nasty.

Please stop with the "my pet can no longer die so this does not feel like a pet class anymore", this reasoning is very poor and a very own personal thing of yours. I have no desire to keep spamming sustains into a pet while the BLM next to me is blowing up the boss with Fire IVs. If you are gonna complain about something please try to be a bit coherent.
