Are role actions a nerf?

[Fawkes]

People are angry because we now have choices that can matter, compared to now where there's little thought put into your CC most of the time.

I'm more angry because it's choices between skills I already have and use, rather than all new things. They're chopping off all of my fingers and then letting me sew whichever 5 I want back on. And I definitely need both my thumbs and both index fingers so I really only get to choose one finger that I want.
