Then again, class identity, class uniqueness, is not necessarily linked to it having a different burst, or even a burst at all... Class identity is its aesthetics, lore, rotation, cooldowns, etc. How can you even argue that the two minutes rotation homogeneizes classes when NIN, MNK, and DRG exist at the same time and are not similar at all ?

The reason tanks are "more" similar to each other (way less right now than they were at ShB, so maybe they actually do care about class identity), is because they are way easier to play than DPSs, and should be. Therefore, there is a limit to how different you can be, since something bizarre would be considered too hard by many tank players. And please, stop pretending we're not already a flavour of WAR, we're way closer to them than we are of GNBs... The only reason you think it's not the case is because we have two bursts, but if you like playing PLD because you like to have two "bursts", aka 75% "burst" time, let's just say that's a strange reason to like a job.

I kinda get y'all dislike the two minutes meta, and I get there are famous people that dislike it too, but as somebody put it earlier in this thread, people that don't mind about it won't take the time to argue against it, as they are not even aware that there is a controversy around it, as I was. That's why we can't get any statistical idea of what the proportion of people disliking it is. Ergo why I already tried to discuss class identity instead of discussing about that.

The 2-minute meta is the current meta, and they don't want to change it, at least until the next expansion, or even the one after. If it ever becomes a problem so obvious everyone has heard from it. Because yeah, Mr Happy disliking it and some streamers agreeing with him is not everyone... Why would we spend so much time arguing about something that can't be changed ? That can only lead to more anger and resentment, and frankly, that's just a waste of your time and mine all around.

And someone that argues against the two minutes meta, and gets angry because GNB has been "murdered" since it got a third bullet is... yeah, proves my point about tanks being kept easy and braindead by their own players. Clearly not the argument you wanted to make it to be.

inb4 : "just stop answering if it's a waste of your time", well, yeah, probably what I'm gonna do
