DRG has been broken for far too long. Fix it SE

I always knew DRG's magic defense was pretty miserable...but wow.

Yeah, it's fucking dire. When Ramuh EX first came out, if our DRG was charmed, two Thunderstorms with one or more balls on the field killed him. Point blank. Like, if he didn't have Apocatastasis or I didn't Virus and we didn't notice a stray ball or an overlapping Thunderstorm, he was smoked.

It's not as bad now with more gear but jesus.

Back when I mained DRG I honest to god thought that having even a second thunderstorm on you meant hard-coded instant death no matter what and that there was no avoiding it, because of how much damage they do to us even with one ball out. I also thought Ancient Quaga in ST was designed to instantly kill people instead of severely damaging them. After I switched to NIN I realized I could actually take a second thunderstorm and live, among various other things. This is NIN, which we're told frequently is the 'most fragile' melee DPS of the three by NINs who desperately don't want to get nerfed.



That's how bad DRG's MDef is, people.

But this is a gear issue, not a job issue.

But this is a gear issue, not a job issue.

It's a job issue because it only applies to the gear which is specific to that job.
