Inequality when syncing down

Hello,

I'd like to draw attention to the order in which different jobs learn important actions that improve how they feel and perform in groups.

The first group content, Tam-Tara Deepcroft, is as low as level 18. However, at that level only 5 (out of 11) dps jobs can perform aoe actions at that level range. This is down from 6 jobs in Shadowbringers now that Summoners can no longer apply damage-over-time to multiple enemies.

This is especially notable because tanks all receive an aoe action by level 10. Of course they will want to pull larger groups, and of course the dps should be able to aoe anything the tanks are aoe-ing.

It would be my suggestion to rethink what actions are learned at what level to allow each dps to have at least 1 aoe button by the time they unlock that first dungeon. Currently the spread is as follows:

RPR 24
DRG 60
MNK 26
SAM 26
NIN 38

MCH 18
DNC 15
BRD 18

RDM 15
BLM 12 & 18
SMN 26

A change such as this should have negligible impact on anyone outside of syncing for roulettes, but could stand to be a large quality of life improvement for 6 jobs that don't have aoe until later (some much later). Thank you for reading!

First of all, I agree. Second of all, DRG's first AoE is 40, not 60. Also I feel healers should be mentioned as their first AoE is 45 and I feel they should just have AoE by 18 anyways, even if they need a trait and a potency nerf because we all know Art of War or Dyskrasia would wreck low level dungeons if left unchanged.

Utterly shocked DRG despite its biggest complaint being it’s AOE being distant STILL has a distant Aoe.
