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

That's just simple ignorance, but, in their defence, making arms a little bit faster isn't worth bringing along an Arch-Mage without better reason, anyway.

by the logic, archmages shouldnt party other classes because they'll only slow archmages down and not having hs just makes them purely leeching and not giving anything back. of course, that's just simple ignorance, right?

1: Any class that can train several times faster than all of the others is imbalanced and broken.
NL -- kill bosses several times faster than archmages. but also factor that HTs and zak actually MAKE money. thats a major upside when a strong HT attacker can make 10-20mil per weekly runs.

2: Any class that can effortlessly kick out every single other class on 99% of the maps in the game is imbalanced and broken.
before 4th job, hermits were known for ksing himes, grims, zombies, etc.

3: It's not just thieves and archers that Mages/Bishops train faster than, it's everything.
warriors are still capable of decent training speed. getting 5-6mil an hour soloing peak isnt faster but it isnt slow either.

4: Being able to party them doesn't fix the fact that it's broken. Are NLs broken too? Yes. Does that make the magician fourth jobs any less broken? No.

by agreeing that both NLs and archmages are 'broken' in their own way, then implying in "but archmages are MORE broken" just sounds like youre trying to start an argument.
