I mean, yes it feels unfair. People want to do content with the job they love, and said job isn't necessarily the most catered for savage for example. Like RDM being like 500 DPS behind SMN just because it can spam raise.

Imo, I prefer having a job that is not "meta" and have fun with it rather than playing something I have less fun with. Savage raids can be cleared with any team composition, having a meta comp doesn't mean having more success. Our team had a WHM, DRK, RDM, SAM and MNK, so very little raid buffs, and cleared all Sigma savage just fine.

I am a bit in the same situation as you are Dualgunner, but on tank side. Why would I play DRK when I can be 250 DPS higher with WAR ? Though this difference is insignificant for like 99.9% of the content. And frankly, 250 more DPS on DRK would be nice, but it wouldn't change a damn thing overall (yay the boss would die 0.5s earlier).
