Its like the physical jobs get perfect buffs for each other while the 3 casters are too busy fight over the scraps to realize that they are all getting the shaft.
Basically this. If every fight mandated a caster, and god I hope that's never the case because I value comp choice for the players (one of my least favorite parts about uwu was mandated caster despite being a caster main), then sure the nerf makes sense to hold all three in line.

But casters are fighting MCH for the fourth slot, and nerfing SMN didn't help BLM or RDM, it just helped MCH.
