I've been playing Mch and have gotten to a competent level of skill with it (apparently I parse 10k+ dps from what I'm told), but what hope do I have if I'm gonna have an even harder time now that the dps gap is getting bigger. I've been trying to play Blm, but I suck at managing moving with it while I'm able to dodge most mechanics as Mch unless I'm unfamiliar with the mechanic or I have a derp moment.

I'm just getting flustered since I finally have a job I can play well and love and it is apparently going into the trash in favor of a job I'm the worst at. x_x
Never, ever, ever give the time of day to players of this game that lock out specific jobs. Unless you are absolutely pushing the envelope in terms of speed, you and the vast majority of people who play this game are very unlikely to be in a position where min-maxing party composition to this extent actually means anything.

I would rather play with people who are competent at whatever their preferred job is, and have a decent attitude while playing. Competence and a willingness to learn means far more than just having the right composition for 99.999999999999999999999 percent of the time.
