Let's redefine "damage taxes"

[FireMage]

Thank you sir for telling me to continue playing a job that underperforms because it's been considered "too easy" or a "noob job", and that is only taken in parties to fill up the role party bonus. Wouldn't blame you though since it seems to be the design process behind SE's balancing though.

Oh right, if i'm not happy I should just play a job that I don't enjoy, right, how could I forget about that.

Proper balance is more important than what you like to play

Difficulty is subjective.
I find redmage incredibly easy to play compared to mch, therefore by this logic i think red mage should do less damage than mch
This is a horrible balancing metric.
