Aye, at which point it just becomes a matter of "Here, take my buffs, for which you sacrificed direct DPS in taking me instead of a "Damage" job, in order to carry my rDPS through your exploitation of said buffs. Oh, also, we're inherently more fragile now, because we're more dependent on the multiplicity of stacked buffs to be viable and any death means desync, causing us to underperform relative to a more independent (e.g., SAM/BLM/MCH/etc.) comp."
