Of course we have our support classes that are designed to fill in that role of utility and thus are not top dps damage dealers, but having no raid utility at all is kinda.... detrimental imho. Having a little raid utility and still being able to push high DPS is balanced imo. I know you will disagree, but that's okay. SE will decide how to balance this based on their opinions of how this class should play.
Yes they absolutely do....They offer ZERO utility to the raid. Without being top DPS there is no point in having them in a raid group.
