[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Singforu]

All you complainers about how BST has to get close... here you go of a BST soloing very difficult ark angel mithra:

There are more if this one example isn't enough. The distance nerf wasn't enough. Pets shouldn't be able to not only tank as well as a PLD but do damage as well as a DD against very difficult NMs while the master just sits there doing job emotes laughing all the way. Pets should be able to tank OR do damage, not both. That is what needs to be fixed.

Range is not needed for most Ark Angels, so they are not affected by the nerf. About the VD: Respect. You should have linked his AA Galka vid, where you acutally can see that he is a very skilled player, playing well timed and fast. Fun to watch.

Wow, the distance nerf wasn't enough to make an enemy with only one threatening, Utsusemi-blockable AoE unsoloable by BST/NIN, wow.

I said wow twice to properly convey my shock.

There are several jobs which can do both, which makes them able to solo even hardest NMs. Bst is by far not alone there. All of them are already balanced, Bst is too.
I understand you don't like Bst, it makes your Brd unwanted, which is not ok.
But that Bst only hype is caused by the player community, not by the job itsself. It became good, yes. But not so OP as people think it is.
The real performance gap you find in gear and jobpoints and if player using different equipsets.
SE knows this, that's why they were a bit shy and did not nerf dmg output.

There's also a video of scholar soloing that fight. Maybe scholar needs to be in melee range with a damage reduction too. There are also several videos of other jobs soloing that fight at lower difficulties. What difficulty does it have to be before we cry nerf? Should we nerf NIN and DNC and BLU and SMN too? /smh

[Mithlas]

Otherwise, give us what we had in Aug and fix the real problems of balance: too much mob aoe, too little hp for players, acc/att increases, etc

THIS. All this.

@ Mod

Why delete posts? There was nothing wrong with them. Even Singforu brought more his arguments to the table this time than provoking.
No aggression at all, so why you deleted several posts?

Edit: Nvm, they are back now, without the link. Thx

Apparently posting youtube videos could expose someone's personal information somehow. At least that's what I was told when I posted videos of summoner and scholar soloing all the delves, AA fights and a bunch of escha NMs. Perhaps they are afraid that a person could be harassed via their youtube account or perhaps they don;t want other people being unwittingly drawn into the discussion.

People who make video in youtube are people who actually wanna be famous. I don't see anything that would expose someone personal information. If people are so bother by it than they shouldn't make a youtube account and video in the first place.

The Dev Team also posted some youtube video which is nothing wrong with that all. What you did is a good thing to post videos of summoner and scholar soloing all the delves so it can bring attention to Mr. Akihiko Matusi so he can stop nerfing job and look for more better resolution.

I wonder why noone mentions RDM when it comes to D/VD solo fights. But it doesn't matter because i think it's proven that other jobs can solo the same difficulty, probably even more and better than BST.
It's not a problem anyway, most relevant content can't be solo'd, it needs 3 Person in party to start it. Soloing is more a way to test the own skills than getting drops.
