I thought the saying was that even the mere blades of grass in the game can incite rage from some player who thinks the developers did it wrong.
Also, in before everyone complains about BRD and SMN and... oh wait. :/
I also still get a chuckle out of those who are still being all hurt over DRK being a Tank instead of a HP sacrificing DPS unit. While I'll admit that I was a bit surprised to see DRK taking to its more classic roots over its modern age roots, that surprise quickly turned to glee. Because quite frankly... we seriously need more diversity among tank and healer roles. Desperately. I for one fully welcome DRK as the new 3rd Tanking role. Course, with how it seems that half the player base only seem to care about being DPS, of course crying rivers will be shed when ANY role is represented as something other than a DPS. I've already seen arguments about what role Samurai should be between Tank and DPS. (I vote Tank, but I've seen others INSIST on it being yet another DPS role)
As for the thread itself... the only role I feel needs to be tweaked a little is SMN. Unlike others, SMN is NOT a trash role to me, as others insist on claiming it is. I actually enjoy playing as it myself. I've even out DPS'd other people who insist on claiming SMN as a trash role. However, at the same time, I do feel it's not like the good ol' classic SMN's from the past games. More focus towards summons and more skills that relate to the summons themselves would be nice. Hell, if what I read is true and SMN really is getting an overhaul, I may end up liking the overhauled version even more.
BRD's fine IMO. It'll probably get more songs for team support in Heavensward anyway. Aside from perhaps SMN, all the roles in this game are more or less balanced with each other. I also laugh at the people who still complain about physical ranged DPS not hitting as hard as the DPS casters. I don't feel like explaining, once again, why physical ranged DPS would be OP if they could hit as hard as a BLM. I've already tried in other threads around here and elsewhere, and they always fall on deaf ears.
Yes, people who complain about ranged physical DPS not hitting as hard as the caster DPS who have to sit still for a few seconds just get one of their skills off for DPS annoys the hell out of me.
