Idiocy

[Monchat]

Yeah, I'm basically sick of this game as a whole now.

In my opinion, dark knights should be able to out-damage warriors every time. A warrior is a weapons specialist, not a damage specialist like the dark knight should be. Sure, it'll cost an arm and a leg, but who cares? The enemy should be dead by then, and if it's not, you're bad at your job. That is how things SHOULD be.

As things stand, however, dark knights are outclassed by warriors, monks, hell, even a bard with a decent melee build in Abyssea can outpace a flawless dark knight now. It's freaking ridiculous, and I won't have it. Maybe if you gave us a job trait like Eye for an Eye, which increases our Attack in proportion to the HP we've lost. Maybe if you fixed Dread Spikes and our Absorb spells. Maybe if the monsters in the game weren't resistant to dark magic more than half the time.

But no. You're too late.

I'm canceling my subscription today. I have had enough of this crap. Square Enix, I've given you chance after chance, but the fact of the matter is this: You don't know how to handle the only job in the game I actually have respect for. For that, you've lost out on my monthly tithes.

And don't even get me started on Final Fantasy XIV...

people think that game balance= my job should be able to do anything. its not the game that has imbablance now,its abyssea ( overpowered WHM, atma etc, that favors mnk war nin). no, balance is not = "my job should be able to do anything".

WAR and MNK have always, and will always be the number 1 and 2 DD. Always, I guarrantee you. WHM will always the number 1 healer, why would it be other wise? WHM cannot do anything but heal. mnk and war cannot do anything but deal damage.

Each job has a niche role, well at 75 anyway, and you can ignore abyssea because its over now, so easy any job can do the stuff anyway. Its the players that chose to ignore other jobs. So you know, at 75 DRK was a decent DD (not the best sure but it could do about the same as a drg or sam, i.e 75% of a MNK or WAR's dmg), and im sure it can perform decently in abyssea too. But where is shined was zerging, numer 1 zerging jobs. And you can find niche for every jobs, even pup and blu...Just wait for them to add content where a true zerg is usefull and peopel will want drks again.

MNK has not always been considered a top-tier DD and many jobs have always lacked a niche.

What exactly is the niche for BST and PUP in a party?

[MarkovChain]

Why do you want a niche for BSt in a party ? He said each job has a niche, BST soloes.

As if solo qualifies as a niche.

NIN solos yet it can also perform as a tank or DD.
BLU solos yet it can also perform as a DD, tank or healer.
RDM solos yet it can also heal, enfeeble and nuke.

These 3 classes can join party events and do other roles at a passable level. BST can solo and.... operate as a sub-optimal generic DD.

Yeah... the monopoly on solo (if there ever was one) is over.

BST has treasure hunter it makes them defacto incredibly more efficient that the wanna be avesta from BG.

Since when is BST a bad DD?

Granted they're overdue for a WS that's stronger than Rampage, but a well-geared BST with the right jug can do a looooooot of damage >_>

sch using rapture can easily out cure a rdm with same cure potencey gear and reach the cure ability of cure 5 (reach i said not equal), however sch's dot should be improved. Whm is curing, blm nuking, rdm enfeeble, sch dot- this is what the jobs should be focused on (some spell sharing is good but not where whm gets addle, etc and im career whm but still wtf)

BST is a great DD, but as it was said, since it's a soloer job most people don't reconize/care about it's dd aspects, since so many other jobs fill that role already, when you think about it, no one asks a bst to come to.....anything.

MV and helix was SCHs top nitch and because of some people abusing it with a glitch they decided to "nerf" it, imo it didnt need a nerf altho helix is not a "normal" tick like many dots the damage is undeniable but now that MV can "miss" just killed that aspect of it. theyneed to remove that nerf they gave it, and as far as improving it they simply need to reduce the "tick" number timer. it's like every 8-9 seconds or some crap.

BST has the absolute best WS hands in the game, aside from perfection aug'd heca +1...

I see +2 BST hands and get oh so jelly...
