Jobs you feel yoshi and team got wrong

[Dinh]

I love the people coming in to tell the guy that this isn't FFXI or telling him to go play FFXI as if he is comparing games so vastly different like DDR and Super Mario World. Same universe, same races, different mechanics. Anyone who says otherwise is just delusional and just wants to hate on FFXI cause a bunny killed them and they went into rage mode.

While I would really like to agree with the WAR comments in here... PLD in FFXI was an advanced job and WAR was the original tank until people got to 30 and started going with PLD instead. So WAR being a tank isn't that much of a stretch, not to mention with the way this game is set up, imagine what the queue times would be if PLD was the only available tank. So SOMETHING had to give and I can agree that WAR would be the best option to fill that spot.

BRD though needs to be split and be given more support abilities then add RNG to cover the ranged portion.

MNK just seems thrown together without a lot of thought put into it. One Ilm Punch is useless, stacks of greased lightning falling off too easily during mechanics like Titan jumping or Leviathan going under the water, and a rotation where if you want to do max dps you have to do a cardio workout across your keyboard.

Just my opinions.

Whats so bad about One Ilm Punch? Yeah its situational and all but useless against bosses but its nice being able to remove a buff in a pinch. I do hate that dancing around stuff. It would be cool if maybe MNKs were among the top DPS for all the extra work but it sure doesnt seem that way. Kind of an odd mechanic for the class to be doing any sneak attacks like say, a NIN. Not to mention how none of it works while solo'ing. Hmm, maybe MNK shouldve been the tank with WAR being DD....

... been thinking of switching jobs once im done with story. Probably NIN since at least they can at least open from behind plus keep all the same gloam gear.

You have no idea how strongly I feel about this. I get a huge high in the moments I can hold hate as my MNK while the tank is coming back to life, or when I'm in open world with friends. It just feel's like MNK was meant to tank, whereas my whole focus on WAR is how much damage I can pump out.

Hell aren't the PGL the muscle for the Platinum Club next to the guild?

Going even further. Aren't the MNK's described as a main defending force of Ala Mhingo, where as the WAR's are described as berserkers struggling to keep their inner beast in check?

Dont know about that but I do remember reading about 1.0 MNKs being a sort of off-tank while deciding what class to play for ARR. Ah well, doubt itll change now unless we get talent specs in the future.
