As the title reads, how do you think hybrid jobs should work in this game?
This is how I think they should work: We know that certain jobs such as Red Mage have lower DPS than Black Mage since they have utility such as Vercure and Verraise, so what if these hybrids could work in a similar fashion to the crystal exarch in the aspect that when queuing for the duty finder you fill in whatever role is missing from the party, for example if you queue in the duty finder and no healers are available you become the healer and your skills become slightly altered, your verfire/stone/aero/thunder spells would get a slight nerf while your vercure would get a buff, and your scatter would change to vermedica. All these skills would appear in your action list but you can only set your default role skills. For instance RDM would be DPS so outside of matched services you cannot set vermedica.
The Pro: Playing a hybrid actually has a benefit even if your output might not be optimal.
The Con: Your output is still slightly lower than other jobs, but you can fulfill needed roles in parties. (This wouldn't work in solo heal/tank situations, but I guess a disable button can be added in duty finder settings.)
