I started playing just in late ShB, but I keep hearing that job design was at its peak in StB and then it got worse and worse. What a coincidence.

Funnily enough, their changes lately have been so questionable, that patch notes are often enough to tell how bad they are. You really don't need to give 6.1+ SAM a try to realize that Kenki has no other use than just a Shinten spam. Their explanation for job changes didn't help them either, since they revealed that they unironically thought that PLD should have lower damage because he has range in magic phase.
