This patch’s balance changes are laughable.

SMN's 5 potency nerf to dots equates about a 1.5% decrease in damage overall and RDM's 20 potency gains equate to about a 2.2% increase in dps. RDM's "problem" of being a weak caster is only about 5% less than SMN and a bit over 6% less than BLM. These changes are not insignificant in creating a better balanced between the caster jobs. If a 2% difference doesn't sound like a lot to you, then these changes are not meant for you but for players who can utilize this difference in damage.

The caster changes are nice. I'm just wondering where the physical ranged dps changes went.

Never haven't you seen? S.e hates phy ranged dps. Look how long they take to do anything with the role. Someone needs to ask them in person at these fan fest. Or twitch why are they so late with phy ranged dps all the time? They have to be bias.
