Caster Classes All Nerfed...

[Phai]

They nerfed all ranged, so ppl now will take melee and stop stacking randed.
Its not about class Balance, its about casual player Balance, those who know the class they playing cant understand the adjustments at all. Good mnks laugh at theire boost's, ranged just go wtf? and drg's got a well deserve adjustment.

Its BS, but still it will make the fate grinding crying mofo happy, and keep playing..

Haha. Me? White knighting? No, I've been very critical of many of the decisions SE has made regarding this patch when said criticism is actually warranted. Just check my post history. But you're seriously complaining about *tiny* balance changes and then saying that your classes are being "ground into the dust" and "destroyed" as a result. I could almost understand if you were a Bard, since that class has been hit rather heavily this patch. But when you're complaining about stuff like a 20 potency reduction on a situational spell that has no place in your DPS rotation, it's tough to take you seriously.

That's the problem with the complainers on this board you disagree with them and for some reason you're suddenly best friends forever with Square. I have to say though as someone who played a Shaman on WoW it is nice to see the other classes complaining about this that and the other after the patch notes come out.

The biggest nerf black mage is getting is the nerf to the speed boost.

Scathe nerf lolreally? Never used it to begin with. Figure it'd get a buff to actually make it worth using.

Freeze, meh you'll waste time trying to aim it.

Allagan boots, wootz one less piece I need to worry about.

PGL get also nerfed until level 36

And don't think Scholars got away that easily either. It's true they got a Lustrate buff ( which is nice btw lol) but they still share the Virus and Bane nerf(yeah I call it a nerf because bane wasn't supposed to be limited in the first place according to the description.

It is no nerf if only the description get changed.
Test it, Bane is limited already since launch. It was only not mentioned in the description.

Greetings,

I just wanted to let you know a bit about "Bane" and that we are planning to make adjustments to the action help text.

“Bane” can spread to up to three enemies. We balanced it in this way due to the fact that the action from the Garuda egi extends effect durations to the point where you can maintain close to a 30 second DoT, arcanists can utilize other magic, and pets deal their own damage.

Compared to black mage’s “Fire II,” it’s somewhat inferior as burst damage, but depending on the situation “Bane” can deal more damage, so consider that fact that different situations lend themselves to different jobs.

We apologize that the number of enemies “Bane” spreads to is not written clearly and we will be adjusting this in patch 2.1.

I quitted 1.0 because they nerfed cjn with those ridiculous mp cost. Now the same thing happens again.

Healing is boring. Did i bothered you that much for switching to cleric mode and aoe some mobs? Can i do something entertain in this game? Why all the mmo devs keep doing this? Taking everything that people enjoy out. Stop bossing around the players and force us to play the way you want.

Fantasy and magic come together, if you hate mage classes that much then dont make fantasy games, go make some scifi mmo with barbaric melee weapons and machine guns. Why make a game that take place on a magical world that magics are useless? Make no sense.

Agreed, the least they could do is reduce the mp cost for spells they nerf to make it fair.

In order to make the game balanced they need to buff the other classes and make contents harder, not nerfing some class that they think are overpowered.

[razzgrizz3]

what are the jp forums saying about all these changes anyway?

[RaijinkenXIII]

Holy is only good for 5 levels anyway.

I'm just going to assume you've never done a speed run before...

I'm assuming you don't know the developers hate speed run. What's with the attempt to stop speedrunning AK and forcing people to kill Tonberry for oil to flip the switch in WP and all. Yes, they failed, hence the coming nerf.
