Like let’s say that the “average” phantom job made you 50% more powerful, since there is no limits to phantom jobs then everyone is 50% more powerful so nobody is; it’s precisely why mastery stacks are nearly meaningless. Because everyone being 24% more powerful just means everything is balanced around everyone being 24% more powerful than base ilvl 700 sync
Another possible reason they didn't make phantom jobs super powerful is that they were tuned for players who would be partaking in FTB. So, if you had too many overpowered phantom jobs, it would make the "hard" content too "easy".
