Disagree. The fact that there are dps jobs that don't get a basic AoE before level 20 (I'd say 15 IMHO) is a pretty glaring oversight.Every job is viable in every activity in the game.
What it comes down to is player perception.
Some people are just terrible at the game, and make jobs look terrible when they play them.
Take Dark Knight for example, in any content below level 70 they feel like absolute garbage, but are still just as viable as any other tanking job, specifically because that content is neither hard nor challenging in any way.
If at any point you are struggling in Normal dungeon content, then somebody clearly is not pulling their weight.
The sub 50 job design in general is pretty bad.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
