Why use a Dragoon or Monk when you can use a Warrior?

So this post is kind of jumbled and i dont really know where i went with this... i just kept typing... If you find any points that are worth anything in that mess, good for you. Also, the thread is long so sorry if i covered stuff someone else said.

I think if they gave Drg/mnk some better survive ability options vs raid boss they would be better or just increase their hp. I think this would also help with the fact that people wouldn't stack range/magic jobs anymore, cause brd/blm don't get hit by bosses aoe and melee do. D:.

Lets face it if wars can survive longer that means they do more dmg, and since a lot of mobs have massive aoe moves or cone attacks and for a lot of people unfortunately this is a problem cause they don't move out of the way fast enough. ie coincutter, mistress, princess. Environment will eventually kill melee to {chimera fight}. also the frontal cone attacks, make half the combos useless if people want you to melee in back, and for chimera you proc his scorpion tail if your behind him, which may hit/kill mages if they are close, which makes another problem if combos start from teh back.

This is all if you don't pay attention and don't position yourself well though, if you pay attention combos shouldn't be a problem or you should be able to avoid aoe, cone moves. But sometimes mnk and drg kind of get shafted as they can't always deal damage during a fight cause they will get killed by something if they don't back off, where blm/brd/war can just deal damage at a steady rate. IE sandtraps on chimera, puddles mistress, slugs pop on coincutter(gotta kill slugs so war doesnt get amnisaed), drg more then monk got shafted i think since a pack of mnks can just zerg mistress. so thats why i think if they either got a boost to hp or better survive ability options (featherfoot can dodge all moves or dodges 2 moves, maybe drg gets more def or something,)

Basically I got: "SE should balance classes around idiots because ppl are bound to be stupid"

Disagree with the first part, agree with the 2nd. Ppl are bound to be stupid but no class should be balanced around the actions of morons. MNK and DRG are fine imo, ppl just need to learn how to not be stupid. As you can see for yourself by reading the forums, it is an impossible task. Let idiots do waht they do, ppl just need to remember that an idiot is not a reflection of the job.

The sad thing is, I would not enjoy that type of stance from SE, but the resulting game would probably be popular and successful
