Can anyone clearly explain "job homogenization" in this game?

Okay I’m honestly trying to reign discussion back in here because I don’t want to keep screaming at you and I feel this post is a bit more mellow than the other ones

Let’s discuss post elements here in a nicer way

1) I haven’t removed myself from the tank sustain discussion it’s just that it hasn’t come up much recently (because of the overwhelming focus on PCT) I don’t think it’s fair to say that I can’t comment there or have a valid stance because of PCT when I don’t want to defend PCT from the perspective of I want to play an overpowered job, I want to defend its internal game design. Like I said to you I would nerf PCT to SMN levels of damage before I would be willing to change the motifs. In my opinion that’s a relatively popular opinion, people don’t want the motifs to change because it’s something that no other job does. You point out that PCT dodges the need for uptime to prepare for a burst. You see that as a strong advantage, others see it as a point of difference. But that’s a fair disagreement

2) potency nerfs will fix it in savage which I think is where most people consider the more important aspect. It’s rare a person who believes that PCT shouldn’t have a niche in ultimate. Do you disagree with PCT being allowed to be top DPS in ultimates (legit question here?). If you gave PCT a 7-10% nerf you would push it down in savage while still allowing it to have top spot in ultimate but not egregiously. That’s not me trying to maintain my job at the top of the table that’s me believing that a job that specifically excels in said niche should be very close to if not at the top when it’s in its niche

3) I don’t think it’s fair to act like the devs will reflexively nerf PCT into the ground because people “put up obstacles” when in reality what you are discussing is simply not wanting to change the core elements of the jobs design. Would you really be opposed to my 7-10% nerf proposal? If so what are your problems with it? Why isn’t it viable? Can you articulate it? I’m not sure why you believe the only solution is changing the motifs

And finally- I’m sorry, I have been acting excessively rude recently and I need to stop.
