Oh look, another person who hasn't been able to get over the self-sufficiency mindset that is completely not the point of using jobs.

GLA better than PLD? This has been repeatedly stated, and even responded to by the devs. We'll likely see a buff to PLD soon. In the meantime, get a WAR tank.

For everything else, get a competent BRD and some good WHMs. This solves pretty much every issue people keep bringing up about jobs and how they aren't independent. They were never meant to be. There is nothing wrong with jobs as a whole, and plenty of reason to use a team of all jobs for every endgame content we have at the moment.

Some people can pull it off, some can't, and some may simply prefer to use a strat that involves some players on classes. To each his own. Just don't try to say that classes are better than jobs in all/most/or even any endgame scenario for that matter. All I hear from that is "Hey, I know it's only been just over a week since they were released, but I still haven't figured out how to use them efficiently, so..."


tl;dr: No way. Job AFs on Jobs. If you can't use jobs well, no need to pretend you can.
