    It's definitely a heavy factor that SE seems to only balance for Ultimate and Savage and doesn't really pay attention to how things play anywhere else. It's another case where I don't think they really play their own game, at least not in the way or at the level most people do.

    Ask yourself which type of content the Director enjoys and which is most useful to streamers who have his ear.

    I would counter that with what is the content 90% of the game plays. Barely 10% of players do savage and less than 5% of players do ultimate. We shouldn't sacrifice the entire rest of the balance and game enjoyment just for 5% of players to have fun.

    It's not even about them having fun, it's about their magic funny number being bigger because they barely have to play around the fight, just alternate DDR and their static 120s rotation.

    well jobs should be balanced around highest difficulty ? why focusing balance on content without dps/hps/mitigation check ?

    I'm genuinely not sure I can agree with this. At least for healing anyhow.
