Sacrificing the "my burst is uniquely timed" part of a class "identity" for preventing such meta is pretty worthwhile, to me.
    Yet since Gordias and Midas, we have never had more class DPS disparity than we do right now. I would argue the two minute burst meta has lead to this awful class balance and jobs like PLD/WAR having less than 10 total worldwide clears in P8s week one, so your stance doesn't hold. You don't need two minute burst meta to balance jobs within each other reasonably; Creator, SB and SHB proved that.

If there IS an issue after the rework, and the majority of people agree on that, then you can discuss changes and so on, but right now, it's pointless.
    I've seen a few proposing changes for PLD not because they want PLD to change, but because they're afraid of what SE will do to PLD and want to try to make the changes less bad. Doesn't matter if I'm minority or majority or if the work is already done, voicing my opinion and thoughts is the right thing to do and I will do that no matter what.

    I... uh... yeah. Hmm. That's kinda... yeah. I'll just agree to disagree with you and be on my merry way.
