    Absolutely, 100% wrong. You can't balance the game around content that 90% of the playerbase will never experience.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Actually you should because what's going to work in that environment is going to form the meta for everything else in the game.

    You can only balance jobs around their maximum potential contribution. To do less than that is to not actually balance anything but just rather assigning arbitrary numbers.

    There's no "balancing" jobs around a dungeon setting or a suboptimal rotation.

    All job balance is top-down. What works in Ultimate/late stage Savage will absolutely be fine in all other content but the same can't be said for something like an Alliance raid.
