Maybe I'm wrong but I struggle to even see the point of raid buffs anymore anyway. The only ones I see working is DNC partner, Bard songs and ast buff cards, as those cooldowns differ from the fomular. If every job was selfish it could lead to more unique job design as jobs like old Paladin could exist. I just find myself looking at the raid buff system we have and wondering why even bother because it doesn't add anything of value to the actual game but just limits job design

Though every DPS job should be judged at total raid contribution as it stands, theirs no reason for a raid buff job to be higher or lower then a samurai in total RDPS I think people look at RDPS sometimes and don't realise that takes into account damage gained from raid buffs
