Aka-Twilight scythe!
Ok, fair enough.

Aka-Defense adjustment nerf!
I wouldn't call making defense actually matter a "nerf". What sense does it make for players to ride Berserk and Last Resort timers with impunity? Defense having an impact on a fight will add an extra layer of strategy that has be lacking.

Aka-Dark Knight nerf! (yay my only job for years)
What nerf is that? The only direct adjustment to DRK that has been talked about that I know of is the Desperate Blows/Last Resort adjustments but that won't change anything for DRK so what do you mean?

Aka-Not correctly adjusting Drk sub for 1 handed weapon users.
Yeah, I think you're right.

Aka-no updates to ANY Ignores Defense weapons.
If I were in SE shoes, I'd probably do the same. I'm convinced they have no idea what's going to truly happen when the defense adjustments conclude. What would be the point of wasting time adjusting these WS then having to adjust them again a couple months down the line. It's my thinking that they need to see the performance of these WS post adjustment to make final judgement calls.

Aka-Nerf to Merit Weaponskills!
That's not a nerf. That's a buff, if anything. Honestly, I think it's a good compromise. 1/5 post adjustment equalling 3.5-4~/5 pre adjustment is great. We'll gain the freedom to have more of them for our occasionally used jobs but we can also specialize on the jobs we play the most.
