I think what currently annoys me most about singular DRK abilities is Shadowbringer being 2 stacks on a 60s CD instead of just being a single 120s. Because it's actually just a 120s CD that you have...

I mean, there are so many stapled on to the amalgamation of confusing job identities that is SCH, that why not, why not make it time mage too.

I was instead betting on that being just TBN on WAR, except far better of course.

No to mention the buff tax for double jobs is a huge part of job balance, since the fact you always want 4 distinct DPS goes a long way to ensure you don't end up with a situation where one or two...

Never mind that the effects simply look underwhelming at best. That's... not good for a job that's niche is supposed to be an aesthetic niche.

If you can't nail the visual concept of a painter...

As said, you only do Adlo->Physick if the tank has not been hit in between and you are sure they won't be hit during the cast time. They most likely will be during dungeon pulls. Pretty much any...

How about making it fun to play instead of mindless?

You can take your logic to the extreme of adding a literal god mode job, and still argue there must be nothing wrong with it because everyone...

I would literally pay money to see the game code that makes it more viable to delete the possibility of several gameplay mechanics entirely than to simply allow bosses to move while casting. Because...

Again, explain what about the current summoner fulfills the the "job fantasy" compared to the old without using the word "animations"? Because those animations could have been part of the old...

Not fact checking if it's the most played class, but yeah? I also play WAR even though I don't like it because it ranges between broken and god mode for soloing anything. You can also bet if they...

It's a "real" summoner now if you don't look at the substance.

And really, was there any reason the flashy animations you love so much that gameplay be damned, couldn't have been attached to the...

Part of it definitely is that there's nothing wrong with DRG that actually warrants a rework, and SE is basically openly admitting they are only doing it to look busy. Reading between the lines it...

I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, buy yeah, I agree. I wouldn't mind even a 5 second cast on summons, just design the rotation to allow for a bit more freedom for when to cast them.

No one is saying there needs to be no difficulty in ranged DPS. But the fact is they will never have the additional challenge of positioning melee has, don't you agree? Let my further simplify this...

Even on aesthetic level I was kind of baffled by how close to Scholar Sage is. Even the name is almost synonymous. Kind of makes sense the mechanics of it are a giant copy paste too, I guess.

It's...

That's not what that means. Do we always have to get egos involved like this? Just because you can't push your damage as hard beyond the average as another class, doesn't you can be a good player and...

Having a theoretical superior damage is fine if it's reflected by the gaussian spread of skill level. Ranged should provide a tighter reliable spread while an excellent melee player should be able...

Well it is nice to pass the low minimum bar of managing melee uptime, rather than being handed even the barest for free with no skill check so whatsoever. I mean that's the fun of melee for me,...

Because there's no DPS job that has a simple 1-2-3 combo except Reaper and Machinist. The next closest things are Ninja and Dragoon, and creating an issue where you lose muscle memory and forget...

It doesn't encourage 2/2/2/2 comp though, it encourages 2/2/4/0 or 2/2/3/1.

I'm confused, how does blatant and sweeping disregard for job identity make you think they'll do it right one day? All it shows is they don't even care - At least disappointing but incremental...

I don't know if the game really needs any more super dark or edgy jobs between DRK and RPR overload honestly. For pretty much the rest of the roles BLM can also easily be a moody aesthetic and AST is...

Yeah, but what does scale matter if it's just nuclear levels of scorched earth on job mechanics?

PLD is exactly the kind of horrid blind butcher job I'm talking about. Careful and unique DoT management and phase dancing replaced with the usual mindless 60s cooldowns, because hey that works so...

I'm not so sure anymore, it seems like a forest for the trees kind of situation. And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out the few devs responsible for the job design have long since the "MMO...
