Job change cooldown, why is there?

[AmalahRose]

Because it would be abused in other ways. E.g...

If I was a level 50 conjurer and a level 50 black mage, I could get 4 other people like me and go in a dungeon. We could all go blm and aoe like mad, then one of us change jobs and heal, then change back and dps more. I mean imagine binding coil if you could be a whm on one fight and switch to a tank on the next fight, etc etc.

Even in open world, I could tank a fate solo, dps it solo, and heal it solo all at the same time.

Be thankful it's not FFXI. In Ffxi you had to go to your mog house and tell your moogle to change your job, you couldn't do it in the field at all.

All this is, is the same concept, but with open world freedom using a cooldown to prevent the leverage.

So imo,

Battle Class -> Battle Class = Cooldown
Battle Class -> Hol = No Cooldown
Hol -> Battle Class = No Cooldown

I don't think you can change jobs in a dungeon or during combat.

And leave that part just let us switch jobs on the fly also keep it when you switch to gathering jobs you start with 0 go so as that is not abused either

For this, they could just get it to where your gp amount is remembered when you switch.

I also brought all this up in beta, mainly because when you are out gathering and a fate pops up you wanna participate in, you are forced to wait for that sensless cooldown to start getting any real contribution. And when you switch back to gatherer you are equally senselessly back to 0 gp instead of it just remembering how much yoy had at the time of switching.
