6.11a patch notes

The only announcement I relish for is the removal of auto boot for being afk. Now I can afk dance again :p

Broken Drg,whm and now black mage(which got ultra instinct at this point) are the new thing ,don't be surprised if thats the squad you get on CC all the time lol

I can appreciate how people complained about SUM being OP and it being one of the jobs getting buffed

Ah gotcha, I was under the impression crystal was it's own matchmaking and didnt share with any other tier. Cheers

It's ridiculous just how quickly BLM gets "fixed / buffed" just due to the simple fact that the main job designer plays them.

It's the exact reason people are asking him to play healers just so he can understand their frustration.

You're not wrong. I could post Screenshots like this all day. Get an opposing team who likes to group together? Your damage is going to be insane. And I'm pretty average at pvp. In the hands of a good player, SCH is extremely strong, but their damage is also dependent on other people playing poorly which in the higher ranks isn't going to happen much.

Smn is fine in CC, but very busted in frontlines, theyll prolly need separate potency for frontlines later on or a much much longer charge time for adrenaline.

Lol @SMN being buffed

I was expecting more PvP changes tbh

This one I can't figure out. RDM stopped overperforming after the last series of nerfs. If anything, it's been slightly underwhelming since. Now they lose a big chunk of what little survivability they had.

WHM untouched. SMN buffed against all reason. GNB needed that buff, though. It's good to see them being worked on. BLM has achieved godhood (again).

Yoshi-P job into god tier but Purify still doesn't work as intended? Great. Guess i should play Blackmage exclusively, like they clearly want... wait only 1 of each job in CC on each team... weird

Why they don't pause Frontlines when the PVP skillset is catered so much towards CC is beyond me. Not even a generall potency decrease for all actions in frontline. Do they keep frontlines open so one day they can retire it completely because nobody will play it?

Hopefully one day PVP will not be so intensely focused on status effects. It gets annoying imho
