Job balancing?

[detlef]

It seems like BRD is getting the most attention is there any other jobs that could use some focus? I am pretty sure SE is aware of all the problems that BRD has since the introduction of GEO. But there are a handful of other jobs that need help like the ones that aren't BLM/GEO/BST/PLD/BLU - RDM on rare occasion and COR on rare occasion.

BRD is only getting attention in here this thread because a handful of people care enough to discuss it. Other jobs certainly have issues and people should speak up about it.

So you just sing a dummy song and overwrite all 4 songs again at Gjallarhorn power. Is it hard NO, does it take more time, Yes, but then you have a fresh set of full power songs. That is the negative of songs, much like the negative of geo is that 1 of its bubbles is around the caster. Name one job that has all positives with no negatives. Castings songs does not take time with fc/-song casting time gear which is easy to cap now. The ONLY time I would not overwrite is if it were SV songs. If 1 is dispelled I would put on another song that was not part of the 5 that were sung.

I understand that this is what has to be done, but I’d argue that the job’s mechanics should be improved to make it easier to get 4 songs up and maintain them. Yeah, it’s possible but could really be improved.

Just like how I think BST is currently playable but its mechanics could be vastly improved for a much more pleasant play experience. Just like how Aftermaths should be able to overwrite themselves. It just streamlines the game and makes it more fun to play.

Also, having Indi spells centering around the GEO is not universally negative and is very often beneficial.

Its not so much sacred as I would like it to be equally boosted. Like I said before I have no issues that NQ brd gets boosted, but those that worked on Gjallarhorn should be boosted more. Much like how a NQ geo can do alot but an idris geo can do even more. This type of tier is what I'm asking for. If NQ brd gets boosted and not Gjallarhorn brd how is this akin to how geo is setup? It's just giving Gjallarhorn power to everyone and forgetting about those that did do the work to get Gjallarhorn. Is this fair?

Right, a NQ GEO can do a lot but an Idris GEO can do more. But if they increase the potency of Malaise, that benefits both Dunna and Idris GEOs. I don’t see how increasing the strength of buffs is helping only NQ players.

But to be fair the buff should be put on the mythic, carnwenhan, since Gjallarhorn is relatively easy to get. This would be on par for difficulty as Idris since ergon wep was meant to be mythicish(not from nyzul so isn't really a mythic). The boost would be the combination of Gjallarhorn and Carnwenhan to be on par with Idris geo.

Carn already gives us a huge duration boost. Why should the buff be on the Mythic weapon? You want only RME BRDs to get invited to anything? What we need is a scenario where 3-song, non-relic BRDs can still get invited to things and that only happens if the job itself is addressed, not its legendary instruments. RME BRDs will still always be better than 3-song BRDs.
