I've been against this issue since way back in HW when I used to main WHM, when DPS Meta was coming into fruition because of Gordias. Still, balance hasn't been this bad since 3.4, considering that was the worst time for Casters. It feels like we're just reversing roles now.

If change is to be had, we would need to look at each job and determine where the problems lie(in the current case, it's MNK and DRG being overtuned for what they provide as well as adjusting the DPS ofo both DNC, RDM, and SMN to be competitive). What we do want to avoid is power creep, because once that happens(kinda like how it is currently with MNK/DRG/BLM/BLM being meta for high-end) everything goes to shit.
