They should either:

1. Be redundant as abilities on other classes
2. Be retuned to not be required for practically everything

The reason a problem exists with ______ ability on _______ class or job is because it becomes a staple for most activities in the game. Once it does that, leveling that class for that ability becomes a de facto requirement for playing the game, because the community as a whole imposes that requirement.

Balancing is an ongoing process that always has to be monitored to make sure that no single ability or class vastly outranks everything else in usefulness, and if it does, it does not stay at the top for long. It's better for the health of the game as a whole.
