the main issue is that they introduced Kaiten as the main ability for SAMs back in Stormblood, everyone loved how flashy it was and hitting big was amazing.
now the devs (or atleast the job balancer) backed themselves into a corner since somehow they're having difficulities balancing the job around Kaiten. (which is weird concidering that Kaiten was an flat out 50% potency increase, not an number that fluctuates, but i'm not an balancer)
they're also having difficulities with crits in general and want away from it which they're doing slowly but surely, instead of doing this gradually, they should do it as an big expansion thing like belts.
make an PTS available where some set in stone encounters can be played with the new version of the job, let anyone enter that PTS so that the sample size is big enough (anything that happens on that PTS affects the main game)

people would get an taste of what's to come, can give feedback before it gets added and worsen the situation, i get not wanting an PTS for content, but job balancing should be done through PTS.
