[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Olor]

That's not at all what he's saying and you know it. There is a big difference between "We need you to come on white mage because we have no healer..." and "We need you to come on some other job because your favorite job just sucks.".

And this is where BST was for years. And everytime it's ever gotten good enough to be useable in content it gets nerfed.

"BST soloing exp is hard but cool" - NERFT
"BST is OK at dynamis farming" - NERFT
"BST is good in one or two group events" - NERFT

etc etc

BST soloing for exp was never nerfed unless you mean the switch to Abyssea where the outside world was pretty useless in comparison to level?
BST only had a tiny form of TH (like BLU) unless they went /thf, pretty sure they can still farm dynamis if they want to.
BST is good in one or two group events - "/shout BST PARTIES ONLY PLZ TY." < this is what brought the attention.

You know what's good in group events? WHMs. Guess by that logic WHM is next to be nerfed, eh?

BST in party only works this way, thanks to the supportjob design. This is intended by SE, and not BST player's fault.

Can also do other setups, it doesnt matter much if you fight a T1 Escha NM with BST x 3, or a setup which consists of PLD/RDM/DD.
The second setup has one problem: Each member has to be good. The BST setup needs only one good player, which makes it very PUG friendly.

"BST is OK at dynamis farming" - NERFT

It still is, no? Fast ability procs, best AoE killer for fast Odious farming, and great at killing ADL.
EDIT: Unless you just mean when Dynamis was relevant.

I'm still confused by this because a lot of what he mentioned never got nerfed. The only thing in relation to exp that got nerfed is the fact BSTs can no longer plop insanely powerful monsters ontop of exp parties (in comparison to what they're fighting) anymore. Like how BSTs loved to drop a "charged" bomb on garliage parties so when it aggros on the way back it immediately self-destructs due to having full TP.

Unless dynamis got changed again outside of the Rhapsodies key item...BST can still farm it just fine.
