Everyone loves to glorify the ways of old and it frankly gets tiring to hear about sometimes. Not everything from before was amazing, hence why I mention all that old stuff. At least try to look into why I even responded with that.

Outliers was the patch when SMN was excessively, not just slightly but EXCESSIVELY more overpowered than BLM and SAM. Can't remember if it was SB or SHB at this point, been years, but that patch was insane for those. Here we have good healing I guess because two tanks lack decent heals, and we had to get good damage because funny P8S incident, and we still aren't even the highest DPS of all the tanks, not that we need to be of course. The outlier is in the other jobs needing to get up more, not SMN having a silly accident causing it to shoot way above even the strongest DPS. There's two ways to correct imbalance here, and yet you only want to look at the lazier and worse option. If you don't agree then that's whatever I guess.
