I mean if you don't see a class that is top dps on top of having great mobility (including an extra sprint on a low cd), party damage buff, heal, shield, great damage gains when there is downtime, insane aoe damage and great burst to play into buffs as something slightly broken I think we simply understand what is broken different.

Smn and Rdm are comparable because they also fight for the caster slot and the difference rn is so high that having a PCT imply being able to skip mechanics or afford a death debuff count that you woudn't be able if you had a Rdm or Smn, let alone how as you go up in difficulty the battle rez is less and less valuable as mechanics are harder to recover from (this tier being the outlier).

Yeah, it's a problem, we'll see for FRU, I dont consider old content for balance
If we were talking about UWU or UCOB that would be fair, but PCT is top dps in both TOP and DSR which are very likely to have a similar structure to FRU and from 90 to 100 the classes dont have that many changes. It doesn't take a genius to realize that a class that can transform any trio mechanic into dps gains (by painting there) its very likely to be even stronger than the rest when its competition rely on uptime (blm) or gauges (rdm)

And there is also the thing of the dungeons which is not old content and PCT is head and shoulders above the rest of the casters because not only has great single target dps but also the greatest aoe dps.
