Nah, get me actual dev testimonials explaining why RDM deserves to be so strong, in detail, despite having nothing to mess up and still being easier to play than BLM/SMN and I'll drop it.Quote:

You can ask that from me when you've played any caster at 70 in Savage. And when you finally acknowledge that BLM has superior damage and that RDM does not put out the exact same numbers as them. You don't get to ask for burden of proof when you won't even look at the proof we already have. And stop with your whole complexity == more damage and simplicity == less damage argument, devs already said that's a moot philosophy to them. It's not happening.

A5. One of the main concepts of FFXIV is that “when playing a job, you experience the uniqueness of that job.”
Due to this, there is a difference in difficulty between the jobs, and it used to be that higher difficulty meant more DPS. We will be scaling down this factor.
So this proved that design intention for 4.0 is never a bout more difficulty = more reward anymore. -
