Please nerf overpowered Jobs before Chaotic Raid

You can run whatever job you like in old content.

It's fair to make the point that job balance shouldn't make any difference to the casual playerbase. But it still does, in this game, like every other one. Progression means looking up to what better players are doing and emulating their gameplay. Behaviors and attitudes at higher levels of play invariably filter down to lower levels. And that in turn impacts player satisfaction.

That's also the reason, presumably, why they hired a job balance team. Otherwise, just move them off into designing mogstation glamours so that they can generate more profits off those PCT 'vibes'. We'll see how long that strategy lasts.

Except, here's the thing. What filters down from the Elite Raiders is not typically choice of job. It is: "What is my opener? What is my burst? What is my BiS?" Or sometimes, it is: "Why does my damage suck?" To which the answer is almost always: "Because your uptime sucks."

One singular Ultimate fight is utterly and completely irrelevant.

Even in Party Finder for current savages (M1S-M4S), at this moment, I see none of this alleged locking of slot(s) to PCT. Or locking out of physical ranged. (To say nothing of Duty Finder, but I guess that's "old content.")

this is only a negative when it results in degenerate gameplay behaviors/strategies disseminating through the game's community
