People keep mentioning balance yet every new job added isn't balance whatsoever. Dancer is far and wide the strongest DPS in any dungeon by a significant margin. Hell, it has access to 1,000 potency AoE attack 25 levels before Dragoon and Ninja even learn their first. Meanwhile, you get oddities like Samurai being hilariously and comically weak at level 70. On the flipside, Ninja at the level is leaps and bounds ahead because Raiton didn't have 800 potency back in Heavensward or Stormblood nor did Kassatsu have a 30% damage buff . If we look at the other roles, Gunbreaker dominates the other tanks. So much in fact, Warrior can barely catch up to it with a potion. Dark Knight, on the other hand, doesn't even get its AoE mitigation or combo finisher until Shadowbringers. There is a 66 level gap between Unleash and Stalwart Soul. On the healer side of things, White Mage has literally nothing to compete with Astro because for some reason, Rapture doesn't unlock until 76. And with no access to Misery early, it simply can't touch Astro's cards. Nevermind the sheer healing and shielding capabilities.

All in all, synced jobs aren't balanced in the slightest.
