I do agree. I’m not opposed to DNC’s gameplay, even if I felt particularly crappy at times in ShB and felt as if I was just there to pad the SAM or pad the BLM in my party. I’d rather more party-wide support versus the single target “support” of Dance Partner; and I actually really like what they did with Improvisation. (Even if I do see the irony in DNC getting a party regen when BRDs have been asking for a regen song since ARR.)

I’m perfectly fine with DNC being on the lower end of the damage spectrum. I’m not really looking for big damage numbers. But I would like to feel as if I’m contributing to my party without being a hinderance. Despite the utility that DNC has, its rDPS is still incredibly low. If it could be raised to be a bit more competitive, then that would ideal.

Maybe they worry about power creep like what happened with BRD in SB? BRD ended up immensely strong by Alphascape due to Crit scaling. Its personal damage wasn’t something to scoff at despite not beating most of the other DPS jobs at higher percentiles, and its rDPS gains for the party were phenomenal between the passive song buff, BV, and Foe Requiem. Plus they had Refresh to even further manipulate Foe’s for more rDPS gains. However, I think a lot of the issues regarding BRD, and to a lesser extent MCH, also stemmed from the fact that the developers never balanced them around the piercing resistance down debuff. (Obviously, I’m not counting the old HW buff wars that resulted in both jobs being utterly broken by Creator and teaming up to oust the casters.)

The OP is lying. You can see on their lodestone that their dancer is level 83. They're not even at endgame.

It’s ok as a PLD main here, if DNC would partner me our combined powers will be like 1 Reaper.We could start a support group and add MCH as they have crap bullets for their Chainsaw cuz that makes sense. Although we would need to add ex Chad WHMs who lost their mana like a prego loses her water, and have to watch Sage dominate them at pretty much everything. Then there’s the Ninjas , they work their lil fingers to the bone , slashing hard with their lil butter knives fast as lightning only to realize the 14 button presses they made were the sum of 1 Sam strike. Idk if you can tell but I’m ready for a balance patch my static raid team was PLD,WAR,NIN,MCH,WHM,NIN,DRG and Sage it’s a real SALTY CREW currently!
