Is this really FUN in 2012 ?! A reassuring Dev's answer if possible?

Phobos, I would agree with you about XI, BUT people actually used melee for a ton of things and they had dedicated whm's to heal them also. I dislike tanking on PLD cause 9/10 times my cure's are a waste of mp cause i have 2 whm's tossing cures at me none stop, after they fixed cure's don't show for the amount it would heal all the time thing I see so many 0's and just think wow he could healed a melee with that.

I feel as though the FFXI mentality of what you're saying applies here too. DD's are great in XIV, but you need healers for them. In FFXI it was the same way - if you didn't have quality healing you just didn't bother with melees. Almost everything could be done the /airquotes simplest /airquotes way by throwing a bunch of ranged DD's at it. I agree with you on PLD... heck I even made a thread about how useless cure is on pld right now...

No melee's was used a lot in XI, SAM's, DRK's, WAR's, BLU/THF's, and sometimes an THF. All these classes was used a lot endgame. Like i said before You dont need 2 whm's healing a tank it stupid that other whm could heal melee np, but believe it or not most whm's wanna stand in one spot and heal the tank to death. It should be no excuse for whm's not heal anyone they have so much mp regen skills its stupid, so everyone should stay topped off.

I honestly think they should limit the job/class max in any content to two, and that does not mean you can 2 arcs and 2 brds, it means you can have 2 brd or 2 arcs or 1 brd and 1 arc.
