Hopefully it'll work in your favor because it's not...oh boy, it won't end well since the job is based on luck alone by the rest of the group.

It's one of those things were i'll have to say, "we'll see if it's fine or not" if the server data says so. I can keep telling myself and others, "the job is fine", "the job is fine" until it's not.
Pick rates and win rates are incredibly unreliable data, so I wouldn't really worry about what the "server data" says. And it's pretty clear that SE is just going by the meta instead of actual design-balance, anyway. Sage's Pneuma *better* be stronger than Adlo, because it's their only real party defense skill. Kardion is pretty unreliable since the shield relies on a limited resource and the 2k heal isn't consistent since it's just operating off of filler casts (not even every 3 sec like a normal regen, it will be less than that.)

Of course, Adlo is also giving your teammates damage up in addition to the shield, so I don't think Pneuma is really any better. Especially when Pneuma tends to get used immediately for damage rather than being retained for when it's actually needed.
