I'm sorry everyone's THMs/ARCs are not OP anymore but they had a full year of being ridiculously OP.

Marauder is not that OP. I don't see it being as OP as the previous mentioned classes because it does not really keep other classes out of the party. People still tank Ifrit just as successfully with a GLA Tank. LNC is still going to be preferred for DPS against Ifrit. It isn't keeping any mages out of any parties.

PUG is a whole other story. PUG needs a buff so that it's not treated like left overs.

Look, i'm sorry your LNC isn't the king of the stronghold parties but it shines very well in other settings. Marauder is not overpowered. Fact of the matter is; if there were no strongholds this discussion probably would not even be happening. Let Marauder play the way it was supposed to be played. We were the whipping boys for a long time :P.
I agree, the whole idea that a class should only be able to one thing is foolish, if marauder cant take hits, how can it be an aoe master? If marauder dmg is nerfed, you will never see it again outside of aoe grind parties, aka no big boss battles. The problem lies withing glad, it is currently unbalanced.

Pug could also use a boost, but it isnt really bad, its just that in the AOE heavy world, they arent excelling, and in the 1 on 1, they are tied or slightly behind, which kind of says, huh? But its not like they are useless, 1 on 1, they are good enough, it will probably come down to who has better build/gear
