It's all good

Direct hit.
To be blunt, if you're weaker then you're probably playing wrong....unless you are a tank, healer or 60 SMN, who were actually nerfed damage wise a little bit. I have every class at 60 and tested them pre patch and post patch, they all do almost exactly the same damage(except NIN who actually gained 1-200 dps)....probably bc of direct hit being added. Even BRD and MCH somehow. Although BRD was slightly nerfed probably do to the new utilities.
It's very small on SMN, like 50 to 100 dps weaker tops but it does have party utility with its pets actions changing. WHM is actually about the same I think. I didn't really test much for healers but I'm doing pretty good numbers, almost 1600 at 260. I thought itd be worse due to clerics 10% buff being removed.
