[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Daniel_Hatcher]

No, it was not. It was not. Seriously. Please show me the math where a BST was out damaging other DD jobs. They aren't. They weren't. Everything BST was doing could be done by other jobs. Just differently. Being able to do something differently that other jobs can still complete is not OP. SERIOUSLY. Being occasionally invited to a few endgame events for the first time in 13 years is NOT OP.

Being able to do so in a way you guarantee success with absolutely no risk is OP. Don't get me wrong though, this was NOT the way to go about fixing that.

Good thing that never happened. Seriously - people need to stop lying about BST.

Uh, are you sure that never happened? In my experience, it happened.

Really? Please do show me an event where a BST never ever failed, not once.

Any event can be failed no matter how OP a job is if the player is bad, If that is the basis of argument it's a silly one.

BST's could send in one or more pets who can kill the enemy while you yourself have little to no no chance of dying, that is a flawed system and I imagine were it a job you don't play as you'd see that too.

I don't think we can even have a discussion if that's your definition of success and overpowered. BST could provide the closest thing to safe, guaranteed success as is possible in this game which is played by humans. Hey, I liked it. I enjoyed PTing with BSTs and reaped some benefits from it. But it was overpowered.

Continue to argue about the overkill of the adjustment if you like, I think that's a valid concern I share.

It seem like your someone who hasn't been playing FFXI for a long time and have not explore all the job carefully. Did you know that Ranger and Blm are safe job? They have always been like that for a very long time. BST was the same way for the past 12 years. With current September update SMN is now a safe job with that boost to range.



Here are links i like to share with everyone and Akihiro Matsui.

FFXI Yorcia Weald Delve 1-5 + Boss (4 people) March 14, 2015. Amazing Video but BST can't do 99,999 dmg like SMN. clear time is 12 minute.

FFXI Incursion Level 135 Vanquisher Gramk-Droog March 28, 2014. Bard and SMN can keep any DD from getting one shot with Sentinel's Scherzo and Earthen Armor. If that had been BST pet even if you're well gear it probably take tons of damage, be difficult to keep it alive with reward, and die.

I save the best for last. FFXI - SCH Kamihr Delve Solo (1-5 + Utkux) May 11, 2015. 37 minute clear.

This very same person Mischief17 can solo all Delve zone 1-5 + Boss without trust. The toughest zone is Kamihr Delve and for him to solo it was amazing Taru and very skilled. People should respect all Taru because they aren't a Joke. Dev Team should hire these people because they slow everyone the way to play FFXI to it's fullest.




Now ask yourself a question can BST do this solo? HELL NO! If they can than i like to see some evidence videos. All job do amazing things when you got a Cor, Brd, Geo, Rdm around to help. I do not like to see any Nerf to any more job but I like to see other job improve and close the cap to be good in a unique way. Make sure you go earn your 1200 job points stop hating and show BST some love and learn how to play your job. =)
