Why did DRG's Disembowel get nerfed?

[Jonnycbad]

If they nerfed disembowled because they didn't want the double ranged to happen again, why not buff the Heavy thrust bonus then.

They buffed all of our weapon skills pretty substantially to make up for that 5% loss. I mean, Full Thrust got 80 Potency boost. The other weaponskills got 20-50 potency added too.

That's working out great.

My impression was the increased potency was to make up for losing the DoT from sustaining Phlebotomize on a target.

And yet your PPS has gone down, not up.

Those buffs also addressed the removal of phlebotomize, power surge, leg sweep, (maybe less geirskoguls too?) not just disembowel. They came in a little too low then gave DRG a bad gauge mechanic on top of it and here we are.

Don't forget BfB. Dragon sight does NOT make up for it as one: it comes up 5% short (to give to the other player duh huh) and it is on a longer timer? What the fuck were they thinking? Sunny hirose did a comparison between the 60 rotation and the 64 rotation and it ended up under 1% improvement which means not factoring oGCD power changes (jump, gsk, mirage dive, bfb etc) our new rotation is just about 1% stronger than our old one.

It's a simple test if you ever parsed your DPS. I just compared my dummy parses from Heavensward compared to the same level/gear in Stormblood. Lost around 150-200 dps depending on crit. The loss of spammable leg sweep dmg is bigger than I had thought when comparing specific damage output. Maybe this nerf at 60 is intended because we make up for it at 70.
