To put it bluntly any static thag doesn't have a NIN in it is shooting it's self in the foot. Trick + Shadewalker/Smokescreen + Slashing debuff is amazing utility. No one is going to ignore slashing resistance down because it always buffs at least the user of the debuff and both tanks.

I don't underatand how you're comparing those two things or how you made the (huge) leap to the idea that BRD/MCH would ask for some form of Litany as well - this isn't a discussion about killing DRG just about making resistance down debuffs remotely equitable.

Stop comparing apples to potatoes.
I'm not comparing crap, I'm enforcing the idea of having them resistance down effects gone. Looking at the bigger picture here, pointing out how this isn't about "since I don't have it, you shouldn't either", but rather mentioning that many jobs depend on others just for something that shouldn't exist, such as those. And me being a SAM speaks volumes, as it's literally the only piece of support I could possibly bring in to a party.
