I'm confused. Are you arguing about BLM or SMN. I'm saying giving SMN more without ever taking anything is power creep. BLM has paid it's dues in 3.x. The 2 jobs are seperate, and the balance between them is a bit more dynamic than up and down.
Well here's the question...
Why did BLM have to "pay its dues" 3.0... it was pointless.
If they'd have left it alone it only would have meant it was closer to Summoner AoE.
So it was completely pointless to do it... there was no need to "pay any dues".
In the end... it accomplished nothing... other than perhaps torque off BLMs and push some players to SMN.
Was there some reason that needed to be done?
SMN could have stood on its own merits from the beginning.
Because they probably felt that BLM aoe was too strong, and now it looks like they feel that SMN aoe is too strong.
So basically in your words... they broke BLM AoE... and then Boosted the SMN AoE... in 3.0 to make BLM "pay a price"
And never achieved their attempt to prevent "power creep".
So now they break SMN AoE... Boost BLM AoE... And likely will end up in the same shoes.
And it never occurred to you how pointless that was?
First off, lets stop with the exaggeration and hyperbole that either class has ever been placed in a state of being broken. That alone quells your argument quite a bit.So basically in your words... they broke BLM AoE... and then Boosted the SMN AoE... in 3.0 to make BLM "pay a price"

Second, you're acting like Buff/Nerf on both classes happened in equal increments- which they haven't. There's different levels of "Buff/Nerf AOE+ Single Target", you can have a little, a lot, potency values, damage drop offs. It's not just Buff and Nerf.
And anything outside of perfection is pointless in the grand scheme of things because it will just be altered again. All they can do is tweak and try for balance- even if that means not getting it the first time.
Both classes have seen the limelight and at the same time not castrated and removed the other from the game.
