Return of the Explorers; Part 1

There, you finally said it. If you remember, back in the days people would make Lukless Clerics to fund other chars, in the days of leech, being a Priest is arguably the easiest leveling class, and once you hit Bishop, it's no longer an argument. The question is, does the branch deserve that training speed/ease in exchange for their "supportivity"? I mean, if you choose to be a warrior (strong/bulky), you choose strength in exchange for mobility, if you choose a thief (fast/nimble) you excel at dexterity, but lose out on survivability, if you choose to be a supporter, you lose the ability to attack. Doesn't that make more sense than OH POOR YEW GUYZ NO ATTK SKILLZ? WELL HERE'S A FREE GOD-FORGIVE-ME ULTIMATE @@@

The fact that they earned Genesis, in my opinion, is to make up for the hellish (religious?) training they should have gone through (yet they didn't!!!) in earlier jobs, much like how you say it makes sense for a Corsair to top the DPS chart since they simple suck in pre-4th jobs. If it's all smooth sailing, what is the point?

tl;dr
Being supportive => lacking offensive capacities
Being supportive =/=> being compensated with 5x training speed compared with the rest

Does a Bowmaster having Sharp Eyes make it a support class too? How about the fact that they can kill Royal Guardian for what is undeniably the fastest exp in the game (yes, faster then that lovely genesis). On top of that, I would much sooner skele with a BM then a Bishop, and simply use an HS mule.

Also I find it amusing that the mere thought of a Bishop getting a slight buff brings chaos to the land, yet what is already our strongest class is getting even more upgrades and yet no one seems to mind at all.
