Build a team of Greysiders using the most "broken jobs in the game" and I'll take my Purple People Eaters playing whatever they want any day of the week.
Sounds a lot like the meta bandwagon in that regard. Aether’s Locked out BRD/DNC because their Damage and rDPS was too low. Generally, all jobs are viable provided you can play them at the respective skill level required while doing mechanics. However, as said before, if this advantage given to other jobs on the higher end isn’t dealt with, it’ll wind up with some jobs being dead in high-end content with the amount of combat jobs we have currently.

To also cite a near-dead job, AST has it the worst since they have the highest APM out of all the Healers, and one of the more complex openers in the game for less DPS/rDPS.
