MRD is now broken just as ARC in previous patch. =_=

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

It really isn't that bad? So what are you trying to say? You trying to justify the lack of balance when it comes to Pug? I find it strange esp seeing from your sig that Pug is your main too. Sorry but No it is not acceptable that Pug gets shafted. You just said that Pug could be even slightly behind and pretty much sucks on AoE and is obviously not a tank role.

So It's not a:

1) Tank
2) Not an AoE class
3) Not the best DPS

What's the point of this class again? This is unacceptable lack of balance in the game when a class like MRD comes and excels in all 3 areas. Pug obviously has no demand in parties or end game content. I find it funny Yoshi mentioned one of the directors tries to push the battle Dev leader to improve Pug since he is fond of it, yet we can see it take the back-seat out of all melee classes. Pity, i actually only play it because i like the class and find it an enjoyable one to play, but reality is it is the weakest and most useless out of them all. It's not that it could use a buff. It needs a buff desperately.

Mrd owns with Storm's path. Makes Aura Pulse look like a joke with AoE.
Lnc owns with Doomspike, makes Seismic Shock and Victimize look like a joke considering it's a multi-mob hit, combining both abilities, Spike dmg + Straight line AoE.
Gld/Mrd own with tanking, makes Pug look like a joke of a tank.

So where is Pug shining exactly? Solo? Evasion? Pfft.

It's just wrong to have to play other classes just because the class you enjoy is useless compared to the rest. Every class should have something important enough to offer, even moreso in a party setting or people will just avoid it as is the case.

Pug needs some desperate help. Please make this class more useful SE.

oh i agree pug needs a boost, victimize is as good as doomspike on single targets, however, its single target, and more importantly has a 60 second cool down. As far as tanking/dd, i think pug can excel with the use of materia for evasion, but thats kind of like weird to suck unless you get specific materias.

Anyhow what im really saying is glad is the class that most needs a buff right now, whereas pug with a few tweaks can easily come back, increase the duration of light strike, or/and increase victimize dmg or lower recast add gear that actually benfits pugilist (higher defense and evasion) and its good to go.

glad needs to retweak the whole shield mechanic to make sense when blocking isnt guaranteed, or add more skills that guarantee a block, or lower cooldowns. They kind of have to either look at blocking or rework its whole dmg level, or do both.
so pug is a quick fix, though i hope that somehow they are the best at comboing for whatever reason, also they seem to want to give us high int, and access to magic, but i dont see how thats useful with current spells, not many offensive spells are worth the cast time or mana for pugilist.
