I don't want Pictomancer to be nerfed for one reason

TL;DR - Devs put training wheels(walls) on our dungeons to try and be fair to the jobs considered as the worse half of the jobs in ARR. In response to this, players asked for pads and helmets and band aids for booboos when the devs then tried to make dungeons interesting in other ways (Pharos Sirius trash packs had raid wide AOEs, paralysis, AOE healing on trash, and other problem monsters intended to make single target damage more viable in a trash pull(i.e. DPS do your job and eliminate problem monsters first)).

Talk about a memory lane trip. Really enjoyed this read. I forgot we used to de-aggro pulls using the boss arena aethereal gate.

I guess my frustration comes from remembering people getting into the habit of rushing through Brayflox or Haukke Mannor, instead of getting the XP from all the trash pulls and the secret chests. It always seemed like such a waste to me. Remember the ring chest behind the coeurl at the end of Brayflox? I guess in my head I blamed both runners and the devs for encouraging this kind dungeon design. The Brayflox swamp area was gutted, and now we have no more diverging paths, secrets or even mob trash XP in any dungeon.

Bottom line: I miss dungeon complexity, and I really dislike wall-to-wall design. I was a bit frustrated with the thread, because the issue with dungeons is much deeper than one OP job having stronger/faster AOEs.
