pretty much

I regret leveling it thinking it would've been a decent main healer job.

Boy, how naive I was to think that.

How wrong you were! They're too busy trying to make DNC into a DD.

SO uhm, are we actually going to make productive suggestions to better further the direction we'd like to see dnc developed or...?

I have to say, one thing that also needs to be addressed is the strength of samba effects. As of right now there's almost no reason to use anything but 5/5 haste samba. Drain samba III is so pitifully weak that the only way to make any sort of productive use of it is if you need healing when you have saber dance up and are soloing. Aspir samba i have *never* used in any situation. Almost anybody would rather attack faster than get 3 mp back a swing.

Man I don't think ive ever seen that many 'no's in one post before.

Bravo, SE.

as far as chocobo jig goes, bard gets aoe song at no cost so whats the diff?

Mazurka is interruptable.

Yeah that's a dumb reason, but I'm pretty sure I've seen SE use that excuse somewhere before (or not, IDK i'm tired).

Since there is no cost for Chocobo Jig the effect is set to be only for the dancer.
In the event that we were to extend the effect to party members, there would be some room to explore this if there were TP consumption or some other trade-off.

There's no cost for Chocobo Mazurka either, but that stretches to party members. Why does the dev team continue over-and-over to decide that one ability is too overpowered if given to a certain job but absolutely fine if given to another.
JA dispel? It's too overpowered for thief to have it on a separate timer from steal or to be less than 5 minute recast. But it's fine for corsair to have it on 2 charges with 1 minute recast.
AoE movment ability? That's fine for bard, but not4u dnc, it's overpowered.
Subtle Blow for theives? Dont be silly, as you have en-TH, it'd be too overpowered. But it's cool to give it to ranger who can also raise the level of TH.


DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. I men really, does the dev team actually put any thought into players comments whatsoever? Or do they just immidiately shoot down anything that they hadn't already thought of? It really is absoloutely rediculous.

It's been said before, but why not say it again...so many no's to dnc updates is crap...why not split timers? if we're supposed to "shine in the solo spotlight" why shouldn't we be able to keep ourselves healed decently? also, the step effects are mediocre at best...nothing to write home about, feather step is wonderful in theory, but when there's atmas that increase crit rate to max effortlessly, what do we need an additional few % on top of that? We're gettin' screwed here methinks....

and PS, I am in shock that we're not allowed to aoe our movement speed thing, like bards and cors can nor did they mention anything about lengthening spectral jigs absolutely abysmal duration...what exactly ARE we going to be getting over the next few levels? Cuz at this point, all it seems like that we're gettin' is no's over and over.
