BRD/MCH look here

[Ephier]

BRD and MCH dps are fine, we won't balance them yet. Two days later, rebalanced WM and GB. Seriously, i think someone at SE is drunk.

He only said MCH was fine, said absolutely nothing about BRD being okay. He even made a personal post on the japanese forums apologizing about it the class.

I'm actually very happy about these MCH fixes *___*

Still no news for Wardens paeon, as of now they have still given us one less ability then all the other jobs. I demand to change wardens paeon to let us play the final fantasy tunes with out of combat animation, where we play the harp just for RP enjoyment. That way this QoL improvemnet would suffice to forgive the empty abilitye we were given.

That's true, but if you look at the changes he seems to have addressed what he posted about (except tWP).

1. The clunkiness of WM/GB [Made them insta-cast with a CD instead of channeled]
2. There was no clear advantage to be in WM/GB did comparable damage outside of stance [Doesn't look like they actually increased our damage they juggled the numbers around a bit so it's a punishment to not be in the stance]

It's possible that the changes will add to DPS, but at least from what it looks like, that wasn't their intention. Looks like it is basically nerfing the numbers on abilities but buffing the stance slightly to get us where we were before but needing to utilize the stance to do so (unlike prior where you could get close to stance numbers outside of the stance).

From what I understand (I dont play MCH)none of the potency nerfs hit MCH GB abilities? Just off stance ones?

If thats true I see MCH being better than BRD.

My MCH isn't 60 yet, but I believe both of those abilities need to be under GB (Ricochet I'm not sure if it's like SW and sites are showing a tooltip error though).

Gauss Round and Ricochet are GB abilities, and can only be used while in GB.

They already were better if played properly. MCH just requires more work.

Already Answered. However, thematically -nay- overall, you are still correct that they are the better.

I don't see how the extra 10% is gonna make up for heavily nerfing the new abilities, it's bad enough our play style gets changed, now we get even more punished in movement heavy fights.

So much for positive changes.
