Also, any BLM player worth their salt will tell you that the job has been anything BUT babied, what you're seeing is basically the result of 3 whole expansions' worth of small but good QoL changes finally coming together, but it took a VERY long and painful time for it to get to this point.
I think the only reason the gap is so jarring is because everything else was so evenly tuned.

Monk, Dragoon, and Black Mage seem so raucously out of line because everyone else is so finely on the line. I don't think that's an unfair statement, but if it was a gradient leading up like it was, it probably wouldn't be so apocalypse inspiring.

To be honest though, the enhanced Enochian trait this time around probably didn't need to happen.
