Typically that was the role of NIN and from your reply you clearly understand what it feels like so I'm not going to continue with this point.

Now specifically regarding utility vs dps: No I don't actually think its a good way of balancing because the whole idea of making a job pseudo support means that it starts to become a game of dependencies; case in point look at the whole BRD/MCH needing DRG to reach full potential and the fact that astro now is so coveted because of the nonsense that is The Balance. Now it is slightly different for a healer as something like The Balance is offensive utility which is provided from something that otherwise isn't supposed to focus on doing damage but now imagine if something like DRG or BRD had balance then what kind of game would we be playing?

The fflogs 'game' is already bad enough with the epeening and the elitism from people who aren't even good in the first place yet get a superiority complex because they 'saw it on fflogs' so imagine what it would be like if they started to take the 'utility' further and gave classes something like the balance it would turn into something similar to what the 3.4 meta was where it was just 'stack as much offensive utility as possible cause them multipliers' and the casters and MNK became memes. I honestly think DPS should just have 1 sort of party buff maximum because they seem to be unable to correctly balance classes damage vs utility. Based on your comments on synergy it's obvious you understand this also.

Also how is that having an attitude? It is completely true. This is a roleplaying game, a Japanese one with pretty catgirls and shit at that and it attracts a very predictable demographic. Look at the popularity of SAM/RDM or hell even NIN compared to MCH. SAM pretty much panders to their every want so even if it wasn't top DPS then it will still have people playing it.
