It just simply wasn't balanced and this is the truth as shown by the numbers. The fact it's remained in this state so long and no one seems to think anything is wrong with it is mind boggling to me.
I have a hard time believing you read any of the constructive posts on the matter. Would you care to explain why none of our feedback is valid, then? Have you considered that possibly, the job isn't the issue, but rather how buffs, substats, and burst windows interact are? I'll make it easy for you and post it again. Yoshi P has touched upon the fact they want to get rid of the crit variance issue and the burst meta, alongside substat balance. However, that was supposed to be a change for everyone. Instead, they changed one job and left everything else as is, creating an issue where player exclusion is now becoming a thing, again. They should have introduced these changes at the same time as everyone else's changes to bring parity.
