The game has become aimed at range jobs doing damage at a safe distance while the only job (pld) that has the -pdt -mdt is the only one able to take the damage. This argument has long since lost its sympathy from players as you're not the only ones whos jobs have become useless to the high artificial difficulty that SE has forced into the game.
I don't think it has lost sympathy. I think most people would rather see other DD jobs be more useful than see this job be less useful. Messing with BST doesn't fix anyone's problems and most people are smart enough to see that.
