Help I've been Nerfed and can't get my damage back up :(

Not just applying to DPS, but all other classes too....

So to start with info to flesh this out before my grievances are aired, I'm level 53 BLM/ 50 PLD / 23 on the others, my fiance is level 47 EVERYTHING... I'm serious he leveled all his DOW/DOM classes at the same time. Not bad if I say so.) Anyways!

He caught it first and was hit with the "oh noes" followed by and , both around the same time, mainly because it impacted his play style more than mine.... All jobs appear to have lost their extra cross class skills. Read that as BLM (or other DPS) no longer can heal ourselves (physick went bye-bye), all dps skills were either removed or nerfed... Archer skills are no longer able to be crossed onto Rogue, for example.

It's as if the game devs just went, "Hey, let's FORCE people into parties, whether they want to or not!" Uhm... we like our solo/duo play. But now, at our levels.....

Seriously, losing Thunder 1 for 3? WHY??? As if it wasn't already a high mp cost, that makes it worse. What's that? Aero now is Aero 2? Stone is Stone 2?

/facepalm At least give us the options to turn certain traits off! When will it go back to the way it was before?

TL/DR: SE appears to have gone to the netherworld with the "upgrade" to the jobs and is quite possibly losing 2 (more?) players.

You now cast the strongest spell of its tier. Rather than having to cast Stone 1 when at a lower level and Stone 2 or 3 at a higher level, your "Stone" spell upgrades or downgrades automatically depending on your level so you only need 1 button on your hotbar. It's a quality of life update.

Lots of spells and potencies for BLM have been buffed in damage to account for losing out on Raging Strikes.

What world content can't you complete as two people?

It's those lower skills I/we depended on. Thunder for the low cost, fire 1 for low cost and the level 3 versions of each only used on a proc. So how is changing this a benefit to us?

It's not a quality update. We (fiance and I) have put MONTHS into this game, tweaking the characters just so, just to make them work for our play style. Our so called Quality was 100% top notch. We could do anything just us. Heck, we've duo teamed more dungeons than we've played with actual full parties. Haukke manor? Done. Stone Vigil? Yup. But they took away BLM ability to use Physick. I'm just a glass cannon with no way to heal now. They took away all the lower level cross class skills on all the classes, so each class we swap to lost that extra buff, that extra attack. They gutted us and no one seems to understand it.

He and his chocobo about got ganked by 2 creatures his level. This would have not been a problem before the skill change. Having to relearn a class skill loadout shouldn't have to happen. /facepalm It's World of Warcraft: Lich King all over again.

You have a role skill called drain, it can heal you.

Also that shouldnt be possible as OW mobs dont hit as hard as dungeon trash, hes at level 47 so he has access to fire 3 and f3p with swift cast and manaward giving him.a shield up to 30% of his max hp

The lose of raging strikes shouldnt have impacted him that level especially with a chocobo.

Im mostly worried about this "play style" of yours as blm only has 1especially as sub level 50. Shield with mana ward, buff with fire 3 kill with fire 1 and st dot with thunder three or multi dot with thunder 2.

Also mp cost shouldnt be an issue considering UI 2 restores 45%? Per server tick.

In a battle sure, vs fall damage? Not so much.
