Dragoon buffs and Ninja nerfs coming Dec 9th in patch 2.45

So you're crying to nerf a class because another class is bad? That isn't how it works, or at least it SHOULDN'T be how it works. You buff the other class to keep up with it. I agree drg should either match or out dps ninja, but at the same time ninjas aren't op right now anyway, just strong. Dragoons are weak, it was my main for a long time so I know it's glaring problems. But I don't call for nerfs to ninja because dragoon is weak. I wanted buffs for dragoon. Dragoon was weak LONG before ninja was a thing, all ninja (and FCoB with all it's spinning bosses and unavoidable magic damage) did was make those weaknesses more glaringly obvious.

That said, DRG, while not as strong as other melee, is HARDLY unusable in FCoB. There are DRGs clearing T13, so while they have to work harder for it, it's not like they're completely unviable right now, just not the strongest. Monk still holds that title.

Don't forget MNK still (if ever unless it's T8) needs TP song too. It's actually not going to change at all from what it currently is.

Have you been into FCoB? There is little to no downtime on those fights, so yes TP song will be needed in more places than just T8. That is part of why the TP nerfs are annoying, because ninja was good at managing it's own TP while being able to give TP to the mnk through goad making it so that bard doesn't have to sing increasing the bard's output. Ninja can't goad themselves so managing their own tp better was fair imo. I don't see why forcing all the classes to bottom out equally and force bard to play more paeon is a good thing at all, seems to me like it hurts the whole party. I don't see the point in Goad anymore if this change makes ninja bottom out the same as mnk because what point is there in me using goad when I'm starved on TP too? Bard will just play paeon and Goad's utility just goes away. I'd rather the bard be able to play foes more often. I hope the tp nerfs don't hurt too bad...the damage I could live with but the tp nerfs are just an awful idea.
