Is there a reason that people aren't getting soft locked from parties currently then? Some jobs fall into that miniscule difference in damage from the next tier up, but I've never heard of people being excluded for that recently. I believe that WAS a big deal during stormblood due to certain classes not having certain types of mitigation or not matching groups that gave damage types bonuses. I'm by no means advocating for a return to those types of things, but just want classes to actually feel different. For context, I mainly play tank, so you might be able to see where Im coming from on this end. Different in what way? I can't really define that, but I do want them to not feel so samey.
It happened in this tier a little bit with paladin early on.
