Now, the italics. Every job has some form of raid dps increase, except the selfish DPS, those are just raid damage increases in disguise. I hope you realise that, with an argument like that, it doesn't matter how you swing it, you won't be happy.



And this is why, if you give one job something the others do not have, that job then becomes required. To get around this, you give all the necessary jobs this thing, just giving them a unique twist for the job. Suddenly, you have a job identity that doesn't exclude a job.



You don't minimise META by making everything unique, that just creates a stronger META where jobs will be more favourable for certain fights. Whilst I know this is what some people want, that is not SE mindset when balancing jobs.
i don't think you read my entire argument correctly at all
