Balance, Homogenisation and Encounter Design: The Problem.

[linay]

I like every job being viable, but there are many routes available to achieve that result without going all-in on DPS checks and full homogenisation mode IMHO, and of course they are more time consuming and difficult to design for the devs.

And that may factor into which route ends up being taken. People may want different things and the devs also have their own priorities and limitations when deciding who to please and how.
