NOT A SKILL ISSUE, BUT PARTY BALANCE

pld was just not good compared to a drk war combo, as so much was magic based back then, and war is the etenral favorite

ninja is a hard lock in do to trick and the way the adjusted enmity for tanks, and dragoon for pierce debuff for mch/brd ,

sure balance was swingy and everyone was distnct, but it meant there were some hard loser jobs because of it.

this just goes back into my previous post about how none of this shit just actually mattered. those combos were better, yeah, but literally every job was capable of clearing the hardest fights in the game. i went through all of hw content as a mnk with literally zero issues. i'm sorry you were partied with people who wanted to pretend these were real problems.
