Right... the largest proponents of class identity, who quit in droves with each increase in homogeneity or loss of class flavor tools are now slipping over our fence and convincing our devs -- who have only ever pushed for streamlining, culling, and reduced skill gap since Heavensward -- that we need more homogeneity. But of course! The most likely suspect is always the one you'd least expect!

Also... how the heck does homogeneity apply to 12 or 13 in any way applicable to an MMO?
I never said it was right what they did? Or agreed with it I stated to why it happened.

They didn’t want two supports in one role, due to one would just outright win to the other depending on which had the higher RDPS value.

So they changed it.
