I think its time BRD get some loving

The team benefits from the spell. you get the debuff for providing such a good utility.

My point is the debuff does not need to exist, it does not balance the teams in any significant way whatsoever as player skill, gear and rotations do a million times more for balancing than a debuff on skills that one class uses who might be present. The increase in DPS gained from not having that debuff is as you admit not significant and there are negative consequences for not having that debuff on the teams ability to clear content. The debuff serves no more purpose than slapping someone in the face for baking you a cake metaphorically.

The team would be no worse off without the debuff, it has zero impact on mobility with or without it, the increase in DPS overall would not be that big without it and the debuff does not add much at all if anything towards the balance of the fights. Any balance it might have had is undone completely by the randomness of quality of peoples rotations, player skills and gear quality or party composition. It's as balancing as throwing a pie in a pretty boys face just because he's pretty simply out of spite in my opinion.
