The changes definitely helped the job feel less frustrating, though I think it helps that the omega fights aren't as punishing for DRG compared to lakshmi and susano. That being said, personal dps is...

I agree on your points, but should point out that Lance mastery only affects the 5th combo WS, not the 4th. So it's not as big a buff as you might think.

Agreed. In many ways I get the same feeling of enjoyment from 4.0 NIN as I did from. 3.0 DRG. That being said, still patiently waiting for Tuesday before I hang up my spear for good.

Pretty sure they spoke in error, but their ideas are completely sound. SE already made BotD completely irrelevant with SB DRG.

LotD is not always at 23 seconds even if performed perfectly because...

I'm kind of curious how many of the current NIN players were DRGs before SB. I've certainly seen an increase lately.

Not that I disagree that NIN is in a really good spot but, that was a dummy parse, and one that was basically purely good luck on crits, even the person who posted it said they were unable to...

My point was that in comparison to BRD as a sort of melee support, DRG doesn't even stand up. As the previous post outlined, our support and utility isn't even in a good spot let alone our dps.

I think that is a little unfair to BRDs. They are in a significantly better state.

The dps check wasn't even that tight in a mix of 290 and 300 gear. If people can't do it at this point then it doesn't matter what job they bring.

Meanwhile DRG, MCH and SMN sit outside in the rain, peering in through the window.

Granted being excluded from a hunt party is a special kind of stupid, but that being said I am seeing an increasing amount of PF groups for ex primals exluding DRG from their required dps slots. It's...

Even if it is only applicable in dungeons, for a lot of the more casual audience in the game that is the meat and still something that needs to be done a least a little bit by everyone, and frankly...

I'm enjoying it quite a lot. My only real gripe is I feel that TCJ as a skill is a bit clunky and could probably do with some minor QoL tweaks.

From my understanding dummy are tuned to not include food, pots, or party bonus.

Since raids have 8 people, all that tells us is your DRG got carried by the rest. The dummys are more tightly...

The dummys are given relative HP, taking mechanics of the real encounter into consideration. You're not expected to replicate dummy dps on the actual encounter. It's just designed as a measuring post...

Even worse that he mentioned how the classes most punished by mechanics have the highest damage, when in reality two of the weakest dps right now are the ones most punished by mechanics. At least he...

It's a nerf.

I've got some bad news for you.

I believe he is referring to the range. Goad's effective range is 6 times the size of Dragon sight, so mo works a lot better.

Pretty sure I'd never consider that a plus.

Playing rdm, nin and drg, it's extremely frustrating to see how their secondary resources don't fall off, don't have to be spent immediately without overflowing, and are generated without being tied...

I could be wrong, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure piercing only affects RDM's non-enhanced melee weaponskills, making it completely useless.

You're joking right. Clearly someone who has never played Lv 70 DRG. Nin and mnk can run their face over the keyboard and pull more dps than DRG right now. Their simplicity and flexibility doesn't...

They just need to buff the personal dps of some of these classes, SMN, DRG and MCH's raid buffs are comparatively weak as it is.

This is the unfortunate reality. I'm holding out for a job adjustments soon but I honestly doubt we will see anything until after Omega's first tier which breaks my heart, because I really don't know...
