Shared Classes Are Not Failures (ie SCH/SMN)

[Mhaeric]

I'm impressed at the mental hoop jumping needed to claim that asking to level two jobs at the same time isn't asking for faster leveling. Sure, one of the jobs won't be leveled any faster than it is currently, but the other job would absolutely be leveled faster than it is now. Another way to put it is that it would take half the time to level two jobs as it takes right now or that it would double your character's overall leveling speed.

As for bringing up jump potions, those are a less effective alternative in the long run than the suggestion of leveling two jobs simultaneously is since they only partially level the job meaning that you still have to invest some additional time to finish leveling them up not to mention them having an actual cost. A jump potion is only better in the sense that it provides instant gratification. Leveling two jobs simultaneously is a delayed gratification but results in a larger benefit in the end: a completely free max level job for no extra effort or cost. And then there's the whole beast of the interaction of these two systems where jump potions would suddenly be twice as effective as they are now, so it's not like jump potions are something completely independent of this suggestion.

Edit: I see that the part of the previous post that I was responding to was clarified with an additional paragraph at the end. This was done while I was writing my post and I didn't see it until after I posted myself, so they probably realized the mental hoop jumping that they were doing on their own so added it. Leaving my post here since it's still a valid point.
