Nerfs, what's next?

[Runespider]

So Ukon as the strongest current DD job is being addressed (I don't think the current nerfs will be the end of it, I can see more coming for war still).

What do you think will be next?

In terms of building a job to an apex in the way Ukon war did I can see Pld with Ochain being next on the nerf list, or /convert overpowering whm maybe.

No comments here will have any impact on the dev team, they already have their plans on what they consider overpowered anyway.

[Eri]

Gonna nerf Thf next! Just cause!

Anyways seriously it has to be SAM since were talking about 'Balance'.
Probably in like... lowering the 'Third Eye' duration :P

[saevel]

They'll be looking at everything gained since level 76. This includes all Emps, spells and JA's.

I see Impact being nerfed, not the damage but the guaranteed -20% stats effect. Also see a possibility of nerfing Hi / CDC / RS and maybe JR. Then they'll start on the spells and JAs and go from there.

[Kimble]

prob a Wildfire nerf somewhere as well.

[cidbahamut]

or /convert overpowering whm maybe.

White Mage is overpowered all on its own honestly.

[Francisco]

Impetus and Counterstance wouldn't shock me, but would further infuriate me.

Maybe Enmity Douse changed to only resetting a small amount of hate.

Maybe a limitation on how often Cureskin can activate.

Possibly nerfing BLU Stunlock...

Possible Perfect Defense nerf, in light of the volume of usage on it for the level cap battle.

Possibly lowered Haste, Refresh, PDT and MDT caps.

I firmly believe that you are underestimating both SE's love for SAM as well as their loathing and hatred for everything else.

[svengalis]

You guys must be new to this game. They have been nerfing jobs since release.

[Vold]

I predict a new multi 2-3 hit TP bonus GK in the future for SAM. It just makes so much sense to me. With the top tiered NQ magian weapons they are primed for expansion.

Oh, which btw some of you may be asking, but what do you mean? That's not a nerf! Well, it effectively is a nerf to every other melee job.
