Because their "ability" actions require MP, which no other caster job in the game has to deal with, and they have a LOT of abilities they use.
Assuming you're thinking in terms of, say, damage output, it's not really exclusively relating to this as there are certain mechanics that can be cheesed quite easily, and depending on how well you time your abilities you can absolutely skip quite a bit too - My initial first T9 kill on BLU we skipped divebombs entirely, and further to this someone messed up golems and they fused into a larger one - Yet we still knocked it off. That being said, my comment was also made in reference to people being stupid enough to think that I would expect it possible to use Ultravibration combo in PotD, or alternatively be able to use other spells such as Missile, or Tail Screw, or similar with Eureka.

Whether you detract from these and it only becomes a slightly more powerful class - They still elected to develop the class itself, and regardless of my personal feelings about output, I would still like them to elect to take the route of common courtesy and allow us to actually do more with BLU. - Including raid achievements was a nice starting point for the class, commit further.
