Why didn't 4th Job AoE's get a cooldown?

Yeah, the main part is what they've already said. Their ultimates are a balancing factor, because they really don't have all that much else. I like the Mage class, but it's quite sad how ineffective they are at bossing compared to other classes. My favorite part of this game is bossing...so that's a big deal. You can't deny Mages need their ultimate to stay alive. The Mage population would go down even more if they didn't at least have that.

I do, however, agree very strongly that the ultimates have changed the game in a negative way. There's sooo many pathetic leech fags now. Tons of people don't even play their class AT ALL during 3rd job. Why are they even on MS? Come on. Mages can get pretty rich off selling leech, which is great and all, but it comes at the cost of helping all these meso buyers/illegit/whatevers get free levels. Quite sad how that's the become the truth of MS.
