Job Adjustments in March 2015 Update

Slow claps to all the SAMs who cried that THFs were doing higher damage than they were. Waiting now to hear SAMs start crying how mages can nuke mobs to death with tier 1 spells with no time delay or mana spent and begging for SE to throw the nerf bat at them.

The sad part was sam was still keeping up with thf... now sounds like thf will basically just use evisceration assuming it ever gets used.

I'm having a really hard time understand nerfing the other ws as well. Mandalic is miles behind rudra's to the point where even with mythic it isn't as much dmg as rudra's. Mercy stroke with relic (which isn't exactly optimal dagger to use) is merely on par with some decent 2hd weaponskills at 1000 tp... but gains nothing as you gain tp. And sharkbite even at 3000 tp will get smashed by pretty much any other ws that anyone uses right now at 1000 tp

I guess you are correct about that because I don't think they compare the damage by spamming weapon skills at 1000 tp but they judge it because it's SATA + 3000 TP. Shark Bite is a fail weapon skill and need improvement not Nerf. People judge Thief too soon because they are really good at closing weapon skill chain damage and I thought that was the whole point of FFXI was to work as a team / save TP to perform weapon skills.

I know right? I was having so much fun with my ninja friend. He would open with blade ten, I would make darkness with my rudra's and because he got so much tp from the extra shuriken attacks he would have enough tp to close with blade hi. It was perfect mission accomplished, nin and thf were both fun to play.

The real funny part? Sharkbite right now is already worse than rudra's was pre buff... ya know back when no one cared about it.
