    The whole synergy thing is why certain jobs have historically been gimped for having group utility, while others were allowed to excel due to having none. Oft times the gap between jobs held back by their utility and those with none is larger than the sum total of the extra DPS theoretically gain via buffing the rest of the group.

    Gut the synergy. I won't miss it one bit so long as we're given greater job complexity and proper balance.

    Real talk: If DPS lost a LOT of their utility they'd be a lot easier to balance because the Dev's wouldn't have to be concerned so much about meta comps. If every DPS was selfish they could be normalized.

    Give all that utility to Healers so they have something to do. THEY should be the buffers / debuffers.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
