NL's and BMs are actually very slow while training since they only use single target attacks, but in exchange for being the slowest training, they're the best bossers. Mages are the exact opposite, they're the fastest trainers and the slowest bossers.
Yes, because training faster than most non-ultimate-spamming-Mage classes in fourth job is slow, right?

Before fourth jobs were ever conceived there were no problems finding Priests to level with. Right now, Bishops are like lawyers, a dime a dozen and only a handful of decent ones. If the ultimates were raped, all of the scrubby, useless Bishops who couldn't play their class anyway would quit, whereas the people who actually made a Bishop with the desire to help others and enjoyed the playstyle would still be around. I severely doubt there'd be any sort of drought if the ultimates were gimped.
