With the launch of Stormblood

[Brian_]

you know what the dev team has limited resources?, they can't add every expansion 3-4 dps 1 tank and 1 healer

SB supposedly has triple the budget of HW. Despite that, we're getting no new race and only 2 new jobs.

At what point will people stop making excuses for SE? When the next expansion has quintuple the budget, only gives us 1 new job, and removes a race?

this time they decided 2 dps because the str stat jobs and the int stat jobs had only 2, meanwhile the other jobs had what 3 of each?, in the next expansion they could add 1 tank and 1 healer, or 1 dps and 1 tank or 1 dps and 1 healer, or just add another 2 dps, what you do not like it, they will note it, but is theirs decision to chose what roles will get new jobs, not yours

also, do not expect they will give a new tank/healer job per expansion, is unrealistic

If we're going to arbitrarily split up jobs by mainstat, wouldn't it make more sense to split them up by their actual role? We currently have 1 OT vs. 3 melee DPS. What do you think makes more sense -- adding another OT so that OTs can finally play another job or adding another 1.5 melee DPS so that DPS players can now drown in even more options?

If there was no healer added, I could understand as someone who also plays healers. The situation with their design and balance is far worse than what tanks have to deal with and quite a bit more complicated to deal with (largely thanks to AST).

But 2 DPS in a single expansion and ONLY 2 DPS?

I'd blame SE but the decision is not SE's alone. SE listens to their paying subscribers and if there wasn't such vocal opposition to making DRK a tank, such persistent pressure to add a sword DPS or make SAM a DPS, and such widespread avoidance of tanking, SE would've surely felt differently about the matter.

As a tank main, I know I won't be touching DF for a very long time after SB releases. And, while you might assume it's out of support for this topic, I'm actually not that petty. I'm sure to be fully booked by friends, FC mates, and LS peeps for content once SB releases. Good luck to the DPS players who don't have that option.

You know, when HW released, I tried out MCH and it was nice having fast queues for it. I wanted to try out SAM and RDM but chances are I'll be too busy bailing my DPS friends out of DF queue purgatory.
