7.0 wishlist

This is my objective opinion sorry if people don't agree. After playing the game for a couple years these just are the things me and others have wanted to see.

general
-fix early level experience for all jobs even new ones
-no more 2 minute rotation revert back to SHB
-more development focus on FF14 as a whole at least since FF16 is now out

tanks
-make heart of light and dark missionary better some comps are objectively worse for prog and certain mechanics (make them similar to addle or feint with 5% phys reduction added to the 10% magic reduction)

DRK
-blackest night should be 500mp or combined with oblation as a trait or both (oblation is bloat)
-shadowbringer should be condensed into flood/edge of darkness maybe like after X uses of edge/flood you get a proc for shadowbringer
-dark mind is bad make it better, magic mit has no use at all for a tank besides specific scenarios most tanks with actual damage reduction get way more out of it than DRK with dark mind

healers
-bring back cleric stance

SCH
-bring back shadowflare

AST
-bring back unique card buffs

SGE
-make it an actual dps healer more damage buttons that heal but main focus of damage (i feel like they are too scared to go all in making it actually function like a dps I'd like to see it have interesting things to it's rotation like GNB)

melee

SAM
-bring back kaiten(please)
-condense some of the buttons (tsubame giaeshi should be on the same button as iajitsu)
-hagakure should be removed

DRG
-everything (getting reworked anyway)

NIN
-ten-chi-jin needs to let you move if not everywhere then in a small area where cast like black mage ley lines
-kassatsu shouldn't make you rabbit when you use it and then use a weaponskill
-forked and fleeting raiju shouldn't be different buttons they literally have the same function and damage either make it a combo or don't have it at all (having forked change into fleeting with more damage)
-not losing raiju stacks when you use a weapon skill it is so dumb

MNK
-bring back all positionals

phys ranged

MCH
-make it better it is in a weird spot when compared to other phys ranged or even other dps

BRD
-bring back old procs they added charges to bloodletter but people only asked for it because of procs used to go off your 2 dots

caster

RDM
-too simple not a bad thing still want more depth and not another finisher for your combo

SMN
-legacy SMN players depressed the only other job that has dots in the game now is BRD but not as interesting as old SMN (new SMN is a good redesign but legacy players have nowhere to go)

new jobs
-machine gun caster similar to specter from GW2 with stacking dots to manage (MNK but as a caster fast gcd and hectic but fun)
-dot caster
-hopefully get 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 caster (asking for a lot but in a perfect world this would be a nice surprise)

you are aware that if they add new jobs, they'll take even more from the old ones.

nothing wrong with asking, but be careful what you wish for. historically, new jobs take from the old ones, I would rather they fix the old ones before adding anything new. would work out better for all

As was pointed out, as soon as you included "me and others have wanted to see" it ceased to be "objective" in any way shape or form.

Be nice, they obviously meant subjective.

Your changes overall are nice.

Your DRK changes have me bawling in shame and I played almost every iteration of DRK safe for HW. Terrible suggestions trying to adress issues some may have from the wrong angle - you're bent on treating the symptom not the cause, calling Oblation boring is one thing, but calling it bloat and wanting it to merge with TBN so it is homogenized with Holy Sheltron, Bloodwhetting and Heart of Corundum? Nah mate.

EDIT:
Shadowbringer change is also binary as shit, at least use the job gauge elements already present - Darkside gauge exists and they could pull one like how Geirskogul drained Blood of the Dragon in HW; we overcap Darkside like crazy.

Dark Mind and Missionary aren't useless just because some attacks like Harrowing Hell exist, hell you'd think how dominant DRK is defensively that having a section of the fight.not suiting him for once would be ok.

'Sure, why not?':
