Black Mage

The stacking of damage buffs (Hypercharge + Foe Requiem + Trick Attack + Chain Stratagem all on two minute timers (or one minute, which still means they will be up during the two minute mark)) is the biggest reason that synergy turns into meta when considering utility like this. This is why all classes should bring some utility, even if it isn't quite as strong as others, so you can at least work with it rather than say it contributes NOTHING, which is exactly what BLM contributes right now. "Damage" doesn't count, as I laid out already.

The idea of selfish dps is that your dmg is so good that jobs offering buffs feeds your, because your potency gain is bigger than the others in the end.
It does work in some situation, but as you mention atm the buff stacking is too strong, IF they were to nerf the aoe buffs and buff the single target ones things will easily change
The point is if that's the vision of SE there are only 2 roads, either they comply with it and really make so selfish dps are the ACE of the group or they make everyone give some sort of buffs, which honestly I'll be frank is just as boring

There's also the third way that is removing buffs altogether btw
