    This is not a game of balance, Square, there are jobs that are BETTER AT EVERYTHING than other jobs. And furthermore, this isn't a game for hybrid jobs. They serve no purpose.

    I love puppetmaster, and I think it's probably the poorest job in the game at the minute, but you know what? at least their "Hybrid job" crap makes sense for them. Beastmaster does nothing but DD, yeah, they have a pet, but their pet in a party environment is to enhance their ability to DD.

    So after being at the bottom of the rung for the duration of their careers, screw you Square Enix. I'm going to be unreasonable, make us the best, because most other jobs have had their time up there.

    It's hard to get mad at Camate, though, or any of the people responding to these issues. I'm not entirely convinced our feedback gets through. Go through with google translate and have a look at how many of their responses are just a day late version of their japanese counterparts.

    I mean for gods sake, Yawn?! YAWN IS OVERPOWERED NOW? The amount of steps necessary to make Yawn useful in any situation is staggering. 1) Make sure that the monster is facing your pet, and won't turn or move 2) Ready Yawn 3) Make sure that after yawn is used, that the monster doesn't sneak in an attack round.
    vs - Cast Sleepga. Cast Yawn. Cast Lullaby. Use Light Shot. Cast Repose.
    Yep. I'd like to hear SE argue that SAM RNG and MNK are not overpowered. I'd really like them to explain why NO OTHER JOB can be allowed into endgame. Why DRGs can't keep up, why SMN avatars are so mediocre, why BLUs and DNCs can't help support, etc etc.....

    But those jobs have utility, unlike RNGs ability to deal high damage, low enmity dps out of the range of AoE and allow a tank to keep hate. I go to COR for a low of RNG things, I perform admirably at about 20-25% parse, the top ranger can do anything between 30-55% of the damage. Guess who pulls hate.

    But yeah, RNG ain't broken. Keep introducing content with lots of AoE that'll instantly kill most DPS.

    I'm sure it'll get better if you ignore it.


    SE solution to fixing things has always been to add more items, ilvl animators, satchels, pet food. There's never a change to the fundamentals of the job, but instead a dumb attempt to patch over issues with items. A geo is respectable..... ..... ... With a mythic. A puppetmaster can be a good dd.... with a mythic. Pets can hit sometimes...... with pet food and ilvl animators.

    Try to fix the problem first, Square, instead of adding stop gaps.
