The Real Problem with Parsers

[Hellzon]

This game is significantly more balanced than WOW (or most MMOs).

Man, this game is not balanced at all, they work faster than wow, that's all. Let's remember dragoon in the past, Monk and astrologian in 3.0.Not talking about "fixes" Machinist and Dark Knight received earlier 3.0 and finally we can talk about whm in 3.0.7. I don't think balance will ever exist. Of course we don't have specs and it helps a lot, not many things to fix, but it does exist. That's the reason they are always working and changing skills/cds, etc.

This game is and pretty much has always been A LOT better balanced than wow. Sure, WoW has way more classes, but that doesn't excuse things like warlocks in siege and disc priests for basically every patch since Heart of Fear came out (and for quite a few patches in previous expansions as well). In WoW there are sometimes GLARING outliers that last for no fewer than mutliple patches. Yes, in FFXIV the numbers are smaller and thus the "outliers" are smaller but they're still within relatively tolerable balance levels.
