Patch 3.01

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

BRD/MCH adjustments with it?

Many of us will be turned back or not welcome in Alexander...

I won't be allowed to participate in the content on the basis of my Job... likely, I'll be kicked if trying to go in with random's.. just for being a MCH.

This' so depressing. So sad it seems you guys are postponing improvements :/

Don't count on it reddit had article where yoshi just said machinist and bard are where they are suppose to be for support roles, I guess thier idea of balance is tanks should do more damage than DPS classes.... I'm not a game developer but ray charles could see there is something wrong with that.

Support roles or not.
The new BRD was suppose to increase DPS...making them MORE DPS like than support, hell BRD only got 1 new song for the party.
With all these DPS checks, killing their DPS for a song doesn't seem that swell anymore.

MCH is not suppose this horrible in DPS. You can't have a DPS/hybrid have lower damage than a tank.
Just ain't right. Bard is better at supporting and DPS...MCH is just there taking 50 years to kill things.

Also AST tweaks please.

And then there was this... post. Yoshi P's translation in reddit may of been slightly wrong or something because.. he never said hes not increasing it and he even added it to the list of acknowledged problems. He just said that "At the same time we will be paying close attention to the balance of each skill so the damage output at level 60 does not largely increase." meaning he doesn't want them overpowering other DPS.

Any little tweak from shorter to nonexistent cast times up to movement being allowed can vastly affect how the skill is used, if the cast times are significantly shorter then there's going to be a slight increase in dps regardless. It's not that WM doesn't increase DPS at all after all, it's that between the cast times, no movement and slightly small increase doesn't make it seem worth using in the first place.

I honestly am not expecting a complete fix but I do know for a fact that shorter cast times is going to help and if it is enough to completely alienate the problem then Bards will be fine, I'm more concern about Machinists right now.
