Yeah I feel that adds to the problem with the system in general. There's really no room for exploration. Like theres always gonna end up with a defined meta but in bozja or eureka I could mix and match what I wanted as I went through the zone and found some fun combos in the process. Like lost slash coupled with inner release and nascent. The insane self heal on that was hilarious. Funneling you into subjobs and forcing action combos did kinda just take the magic out of the duty actions. They could fix it if they made it so freelancer was able to pick and choose actions from subjobs you mastered so you could build what you want. If they coupled it with prestieging for phantom mastery they might actually have a system on their hands. But then you run into the issue of devaluing the current system of sub jobs so they kinda developed themselves into a dead end.
