People never realise just how big an impact this had on the game. Yoshi P hated doing that and was legitimately scared about pissing off fans by nerfing the new job. That's why they hold a "buff everything else over nerfing one thing" mentality, its also why the new jobs were intentionally weak at the start, because they were tuned down so that the devs could see how they were played before "fixing" them.
