Congratulations, you've just created power creep, where classes are overtuned for content.

Nerfs are a harsh, sucky reality that we have to deal with in an MMO. I main PLD and AST, and I am dreading the nerfs incoming for both of those jobs, but I know they are necessary, because both are top of the charts in what they do. Instead of bringing everyone up, a much more sensible design choice is to meet in the middle.
