    You're stating that as if it was fact. There are times when a COR comes in handy compared to a BRD, there are times they don't.

    All the nerfs (granted PD wasn't used in NNI) and lack of change to floor 100 really says is either:
    - SE doesn't have a clue how to properly balance an event so that it's more skill than luck
    or
    - SE never expected us to ever get 50%+ win rates on floor 100 runs.

    Can't say I'm too surprised it's hard to crank out new content with a skeleton crew.

    Just saying.... tacts roll to a 5 is not hard, less yet 11 with the new snake eye rule. It takes maybe 6 seconds to get a 5 most times if you're lucky(haha getting luckier in a luck based event". The thing is that I feel cor would actually offer damage...and could spread out and do an objective. Opposed to a brd, that stands at the lamp everytime and casts a buff when ya zone up haha. I mean I guess it comes down to the cor or brd really. I personally would take a cor with 90+ arma and good gear sets.

    Worst part about PD is it's screwing people with max SMN skill. If they want to tie it into skill fine, but SMN's should not have to track down every piece of gear. No other jobs requires the absolute max to get hte max potential out of their abilities, most jobs would get worse effects by doing so.

    A melee can't max their damage from increasing their weapon skill to max. Increases in other stats produce more of a benefit. Same with Mage jobs. Capping the base skill is important, but you're not going to equip every possible piece of +elemental magic skill gear to get the max effect.

    SE is requiring SMN's to track down every single piece of gear to get the max effect of their 2 hour. That's an imbalance. Especially since the max is well over 50 points from the maximum possible skill level now (meaning all the gear we've worked so hard to get is about to become obsolete). The 30+30 thing should cap at 500 skill. Enough to require effort, but not requiring a hunt for every single piece of gear.

    A SCH worth his salt relied exclusively on gear to get anywhere close to 500 enhancing magic, so that wasn't a SMN-only issue.

    Comparing apples to oranges, SE decided not to fix content, but rather to fix the "loophole" that was allowing players to beat content that wasn't designed to be winnable.

    Ill stop you there. basic 450 skill (basic gear and capped skill/merit) is is something like 52 seconds, good gear at 500 ish is around 54 sec. Past that it's unrealistic. As you see, even gearing for smn skill is useless (yeah for +2 sec woot). The update doesn't eve, advantage well geared SMN, it should be 0 seconds base and 60 sec with 500 skill. Actually if they want to emphasize quality of SMN gear, it should be 30s for 400 skill and 60 sec for 500 skill.

    Indeed, the last few updates have been nothing but disappointment, one after another. I was looking forward for Meeble Burrows but seems like another content designed to string you along for no end in sights. It's all good though, it's been a good 10 years run, time to call it a day, close shop and take a long break till they grow a few INTs points and bring back Abyssea 2.0.
