New Dancer feels TERRIBLE and weak

My winrate with dancer is by far higher than my 5 other jobs that I play. Dancer does a lot of AOE damage with utility on the side. The LB is great too. saber dance hits for 12k. People need to read their tooltips because the classes don't just play themselves.

you are strongly incorrect Reaper's Hysteria and Dancer's charm can be purified. As a BLM I have destroyed each attempt to counter my LB I mostly destroy them with a foul.

It's kind of hilarious they made the DNC range so short.

Imo the jobs that need buffs the most are:
1. BLM
2. DNC
3. GNB

Of those three, I main GNB so I am a little biased, but I honestly think these three jobs are throwing. When I queue up as GNB in Platinum, I feel like I'm borderline throwing.
When I see a BLM or DNC in the opposing team (regardless of what job I myself am playing), I feel like I'm not threatened by them at all.

No DNC and RPR LB can't be cleansed at all in PVP. DNC you have time to use a mvoement to get awawy so they can't increase the charm duration. Reaper LB debuff duration is only 2 seconds and is ins't

Dancer is a job depends on one's skill
It is either you are a God or you are a punchbag.
It does not need a buff unless their LB is changed or can be purify.
Yes, you CAN NOT PURIFY Reaper's Hysteria and DNC's LB

I have seen DNC take over a game because their PLD has kept them alive. As if with any job who can be kept alive they can deal damage and get their LB quickly. DNC to me feels so team relient

BLM doesn't need a buff they jstu got one in teh last rotation of PVP buffs. IF they buff it more then they should lose their umbral deep freeze

DNC is a peculiar job with no clearly cut out role (ranged or melee), with a simple toolkit that doesn't clearly lays out a path for the player to follow intuitively and as a result it becomes a job where the difficulty doesn't lie in mastering the kit, but in the subtleties of knowing what to do with it and how to play it. This is exactly why the job underperforms at lower ranks because most people have no clue what to do with it, and this combines poorly with the fact that its LB is not only the most demanding to execute (requires to expose yourself and stand still with no defense whatsover for ages, keep an eye open for hard counters, keep an eye open for the LB state of every other player in the game, be a good judge if your team is actually gonna be able to take advantage of your LB, and many more factors), but also that at low ranks people have no idea of what a coordinated burst is and will rarely fully take advantage of it anyway, often resulting in the LB just flopping alone.

This results in the exact opposite of SAM, which is a job that gets a lot of results at lower ranks because of its big hits and its LB, where in counterpart it underperforms at higher level: DNC sucks as low level and works very well at higher level provided the player knows what they're doing. On DNC at low level you need to literally abuse cleaves, AOE and Honing to apply so much pressure on people that have no positioning awareness to literally make up for your LB being literally gambling on whether your team is going to take advantage of it or not.

I wish I can convince you otherwise with how well dancer is. However, many are turned off by the design of it. Also it is one of those few classes that can get shafted before the limit break takes takes effect due to the 1 sec delay (GNB has it the worst.). I'm sorry that the class does not appeal to you. Probably would have been a bit better if DNC's range was able to match the other range classes. Just saying.

That being said, compared to SAM, SCH, and SMN, I had an oddly easy time climbing with DNC. Homing Dance is completely busted. Just pray that you do not face off against a team of pure range classes.
