If the choice is between forcing every DRG in the game to obtain a Mythic in order to play their job and simply making the job strong enough to stand on it's own otherwise while making Mythic DRGs the top DD in the game, I opt for the second. It's the same thing I'd say in the case of RUN as well. No job should require something like a Mythic in order to function, especially not now when we've moved away from that completely stupid mentality in the case of most RMEs ruling supremely. Few jobs currently require RMEs, or rather specifically Mythics, in order to bridge the gap between them and their brethren, the top 3 off the top of my head are DRG, PUP, and RUN, each of which goes from being sub par to one of the best jobs in the game in their categories.

A DRG without a Mythic has much lower DPS than that of one with one, so much so that a Mythic DRG beats other DDs in some situations where as a non-Mythic DRG never really beats another DD unless the monster in question is specifically weak to their DMG type.

A PUP without a Mythic has a terrible amount of delay compared to MNK and relies on their Automaton for a portion of their DMG, this proves fatal on higher content even with the new pet food. Once you throw in KKK however a PUP becomes as powerful as a MNK on it's own basically, the only thing it lacks is the HP. With it's Automaton supporting it the PUP becomes almost as powerful as a MNK is overall with only it's HP being a true shortcoming outside of Formless Strikes.

A RUN without an Ergon weapon can't take melee DMG very well, even with it's massive immunity to magic DMG it basically still crumbles in front of most 120+ mobs. With an Ergon weapon a RUN can however, so much so that a RUN with it's Ergon weapon I believe is equal to a PLD with Ochain if not better when it comes to Physical DMG, and that's ignoring the fact that it has better hate tools and DD power than PLD does on top of that really makes it the turning point for the job.

In the end, I honestly hate the idea of making jobs OP by balancing them otherwise because we start up the whole RME debate & issue again. At the same exact time, I'd rather have that issue again with jobs since Mythics/Ergons are so rare as it is rather than go through the pain that we do now where some jobs require one of these incredibly rare weapons just to become acceptable.


In the end I also have to say, I don't know what makes a job broken apparently because in my opinion if a job ever requires something like a Mythic in order to perform adequately, it's broken.
