Picto makes the game less fun

[CKNovel]

How does a single 10% shield create a crisis for support oriented DPS jobs. Raise and the phys ranged utility is far far better than tempra grassa. Hell tempra grassa is barely better than mantra or crest as it is

Melees
They have Feint and personals. Mantra is very, very good but useless on its own.
Crest on paper and bump RPR's healing by a lot but in practice it most often comes after a raidwide and a long time with no damage.
Regen is massively overrated as it often runs when no heal is needed. Arcane crest by itself is 30% of RPR's healing and 30 to 50% is often overheal.

Pictomancer,
Yet despite a Reaper having access to Bloodbath, Second Wind, Arcane Crest and Feint, Pictomancer is able to outheal magical fight with only a Tempera, addle and Star Prism.
Reducing damage is also much more valued than healing damage and shields have the neat effect to not be impacted by the mitigation calculation.

It steps on the SMN/RDM territory, while BLM only had a personal, SMN has personals+healing, RDM Magick Barrier.
But Picto swoops in with 2 raidwide mitigations, the best movement tool of the game while not being taxed like RDM.

More Raidwide mitigation is something rare only PLD and MCH got and made them shine despite those jobs being on the lower end damage wise.
But Pictomancer swoops in and evade the tax. In TOP, it's by default the best caster thanks to all the downtime that allows it to prepare the sketch, its mitigation and the fact ressing is pointless in 3/4 of the fight yet SMN/RDM pays the tax.

You can clearly understand why other casters (and phys ranged by extension) feels cheated, Pictomancer has too much strengths for no downsides, not only it compete for a caster spot but it can also compete for a melee spot, something rarely seen before.
You can either buff the other caster utility/damage or nerf Pictomancer utility/damage.
