The Unofficial "Why is this still a thing" Thread

[GunksFoy]

The ~400 I mentioned is with regards to losing the entirety of a DRG’s toolkit. That being said, Disembowel makes up the majority of that ~400.

This seems intentionally disingenuous though. Dragoon would still retain those abilities, so while what you're saying is technically accurate, you would still lose 150-200 dps not having a dragoon even if they gave you a piercing debuff. I don't really have a stance on this, but it definitely seems like you're trying to deceive people by inflating the number you claim to lose by not having it.

Again, I don't really have a stance as I like the idea of job synergy but don't like the idea of job exclusion. I feel like it would be more acceptable if there were certain group types that worked well together. I.e. Brd, Mch, Caster, Drg OR Monk, Sam, Caster, Caster. You get what I mean. But then you end up with meta comps and even more group exclusion. Balance is a finicky thing.
