I kind of find this hilarious because it presumes DPS classes are well balanced among 8 options with the possibility of 11 with how people are pushing. DPS is a mess too. No new DOW or DOM classes. Red Mage needs to be a Crafting Class. Or Gathering Class.

But gatherers and crafters are unbalanced too! Some make more money than others! Red Mage should create a new disciple type and be that (DoS - Disciple of Split-mechanics)!

they dont have to balance all 7 at the same time. just balance the same role. BRD with MCH. DRG with MNK and NIN. SMN with BLM (and now RDM)

I admit to being a bit out of touch with the meta, having not played since Savage Gordias. What precisely is the issue with DPS balance ATM? In my experience, Gordias was a bit rough due to it requiring the theoretical DPS best, but I didn't think Midas (and certainly not Creator) were THAT badly tuned. Can you elaborate for me?

They do, because otherwise nothing is stopping people from just not taking a certain role. If melees are too good -> Triple melee + MCH combo. If casters are too good, triple caster + BRD combo. If WARs are too good, replace all DPS with WARs.

So either they need to balance all, or brute-force compositions.

I was thinking that we will be swimming diving and such, would be a perfect time for a new gather like a diver of some type.
