DPS jobs lacking utility?

[RopeDrink]

Regardless of the video, I'm merely pointing out that (at least in the higher end) responsibilities are more mechanical, in a game where people with certain WoW-like expectations probably pine for a bit more responsibilities within the trinity, which doesn't really happen outside of that higher end. Stuns, slows, interrupts and the likes are, at best, handy to have for the most part but not exactly mandatory (give or take a few outliers), whereas people absolutely will pine for specific classes with specific tools for specific things in specific content in WoW, giving a greater sense of responsibility, value, identity, or whatnot.

I'm hazarding a guess that people pining for such a thing will likely not be basic WoW casuals (in which case you really don't have to think of those things there either) and would probably benefit more from seeing responsibilities at the higher end rather than the lower. That is an assumption, of course. Either way, I doubt anyone is ever going to see a time in FFXIV where, say, certain classes or utility bundles are desired in specific dungeons, nevermind raids. Most sense of responsibility comes from harder stuff, and rarely for class-specifics -- rather, more mechanical ones.
