3.2, one of the best patches so far?

[SerahFarron]

Having played since 1.0, alpha, beta, pre-release launch and having legacy status, this has been the worst patch yet imo. I started end game tanking in SCOB as a PLD till 3.0 when I switched to WAR since PLD was broken when 3.0 came out. The tank nerf has put me off from tanking and this game entirely because tanking is the only thing I like doing. No one likes their favorite class to nerfed. This nerf was absolutely unnecessary.

SE took the lazy way as always and instead of buffing PLD they nerfed all tanks to be more in line with PLD's damage. Why not let people have options instead of forcing VIT on us? Ppl say that VIT was supposed to be a tanks main stat but that is not true when you look at WAR's stats. WARs natively have more STR than VIT and PLD's have more VIT than STR. Obviously WARs benefited more from STR than VIT due to STR scaling with equilibrium, inner beast, blood bath, etc...

Yoshi kept saying that WAR was in a good spot and that it wouldn't be nerfed, obviously he was lying since instead of nerfing WAR he nerfed all the tanks. What was the point of giving WAR a 500 potency attack when it would just be cut by 20% anyway? Now tanking is has become less attractive to me since I have to rely on DPS in the DF to actually do their job to their full potential, which lets be honest most DPS in the DF are pretty bad.

WAR was fun because I could do a lot of damage without having to rely on bad DPS to do their job correctly. Yoshi thinks that by introducing SSS that it'll fix the problem of DPS being bad but if you actually cared about your main job you would do your research and memorize your job's best rotation. For the first time since this game came out I will be taking a long break.

I could deal with Heavensward being the same formula as ARR, I could deal with with the fact that my server died after 10pm and not having a data center wide PF, I could deal with relics being useless after 2 patches, I could deal with the boring stat system and crappy gear progression, but I will not deal with unnecessary nerfs to the only role I like playing. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back for me. I'm gonna go back to Vana'Diel for awhile and finish up the story missions that I never got to finish. For now it's good bye FFXIV.
