Lowering some potencies wouldn't "remove the quality of life" of another job nor does it have any bearing on the "unique identity" of the job. To be frank, you're being far too dynamic over changing say, an average DPS spread of 25,000 to 23,000. Literally nothing about how you play the job changes in this context. It's essentially no different than buffing every other job within the role.

The issue is constantly buffing every job instead of nerfing a single outliner can cause power creeping issues. If all of Black Mage, Red Mage and Summoner are buffed to put them in line with Picto, you then need to buff all the Phys. Range who would now be languishing behind.
