So much truth oozing from this post that it's dropping from my screen.

Sure, little Jimmy can change to Paladin. This may even make your group feel good about your setup. But without experience, without feeling the job regularly, your group is gonna fail the moment Jimmy gets splattered to on the wall by Coincounter.

Skill and experience will make up a great deal of ability in a group. You can preach how PLD BLM MNK MNK MNK MNK MNK WHM is the best setup for Miser's Mistress, but if one of those MNKs is a better skilled and geared DRG, your DPS will be better by having them on their best job.

MNK may be "optimal" for the fight if everyone can play MNK at peak efficiency, but if you do 100 DPS on MNK and 115 DPS on DRG....why go with the "Optimal" setup when you'll do better allowing that person to go DRG?
