Not again...

A lot will depend on how these changes are implemented. PLD has enough of a dps advantage at the moment that it will probably still break even after the changes, which is fine. I think the idea of balancing damage output against utility is silly. Personal dps should be balanced against raid dps boosts. Utility should be balanced against utility.

Intervention and TBN do not boost raid dps. If you want a job to do less personal dps, then it needs to offer raid dps boosts, such as slashing, embolden, and trick. If you want it to do more personal dps, then it shouldn't offer those things. DPS jobs are typically balanced on this principle, and the same should hold true for other roles as well. This was one of the balance problems with WAR in HW, in that it offered both the only raid dps boost across tanks, and also offered the highest personal dps.

Utility is different. Raid mitigation tools such as Passage, Veil, and Reprisal influence your ability to progress at lower gear levels, and should be balanced across tanks independently of this.
