Balancing jobs against fights is incredibly difficult at the extremes as shown by not just this game but other MMOs as well. The goal of making jobs feel different and jobs be balanced are at opposition. I don't envy the job designers who are having to do this.
Let's thank all the world first streams and all tha nonsense. I've been saying it for years; the reason why shadowbringers baby-mode happened was because of raiders/proggers complaining about bard, dragoon, and all these other buffs and jobs "not being allowed in PF savage/ultimates."

No one cares if you bring any job to any savage/ultimate now, they're all copy paste burst babies of the the 2 minute snooze cycle.

It's a question of do we want 1 ultimate raid per expansion or 3 with the equivalent of checkers job design.
