Lowering NIN's second highest source of damage output, and raising DRG's second highest source of damage output is moving them closer to the same central point. Instead of NIN+MNK being close in damage, it'll be NIN+DRG, because of their support. They've changed the paradigm from 3.xx to 4.xx, which is a whole other argument of right and wrong, and I feel you on that. QoL should be considered, but I also think they're more time-consuming and delicate changes. Things you can't just throw together like potency and percentage buffs.
