Dps job design issues due to lack of utility.

[Adeacia]

This (underlined above) is either errant or disingenuous. The favored jobs were favored for their burst AoE damage or AoE stuns, not any of the various other utilities.

DRG and BRD anyone? DRG had a piercing debuff, which BRD could use for a damage boost. The piercing debuff was removed for that very reason. The BRD songs were changed for the same reason, every raid group wanted a BRD. I know, I was that BRD once.

Look at the OP's examples of the utility they believe to be missing. Now look at 8-man content. There's not a single effect among them those bosses, or even adds, are not immune to.

The utility your describing are mere compositional restraints and ways to move numbers from one ACT bar to another -- nothing more. They have nothing in common with what the OP is referring to, save in that the devs are apparently more than willing to replace actual, gameplay-affecting utility with further non-gameplay number-spinning like composition buffs without enough flexibility or bankability for any agency beyond, at best, "Hey, guys, are we doing 4th GCD or 5th?"
