Are role actions a nerf?

because this is not true?

Factually incorrect. Bard's have a skill called Keepers paean that's an esuna/status shield, antidotes, spine drops, and other status negating items are already in the game as well, so you may want to rethink that.

You might to rethink there is other levels in the game besides 58-60. Leeches at 40 always sucked, and this new system makes it even worse, what a joke.

You may once again want to rethink your assertion. There are other far more viable ways to remove most statuses then esuna.

Snip.

I wouldn't say esuna is better the way it is now. If anything, I'd argue it's even worse because rather being able to have a more useful skill, esuna is taking up that spot.
