Perfect example is giving BMs the Split Damage hurricane hyper when in the next patch they increased the damage cap to 50mil.
Redundant just means repetitive.
For example, Holy Arrow and Angel Ray are redundant skills. They're both a magical holy arrow, same concept, except the second is much stronger.
The upgrades to Starfe also got redundant. Hmm, I wonder how we should upgrade this skill?... 4 arrows already... no, make it FIVE arrows!!
It doesn't matter if the upgrade is done as a passive or as an active skill. The point is that instead of developing new skills to make the classes more unique, all you're doing is throwing steroids on already existing skills.
The epitome of this issue is Mikhail: 3rd job big lazor, 4th job BIGGER lazor. So instead of developing interesting stuff for Mikhail, all they did was be lazy and repeat on a formula.
