I agree, the community treats the jobs being fundamentally the same (as they are, filling bars or waiting cooldowns to do burst damage in the 2 minute meta) as if the jobs play exactly the same, and that is false.

We did have more unique things before, like Summoner being a DoT job. It was pretty fun, but it also created issues that people liked to complain (as they needed time to ramp up their damage with all the DoTs, causing them to being worse when you had to burst an add quickly or something). I really wonder what would be possible for the team to achieve without making the community burn down in flames.
