Yoshi-P's stance on BRD/MCH buffing themselves

[Bourne_Endeavor]

A ranged DPS asked if the devs would give the 2 ranged DPS "disembowel" (so they don't have to rely on drgs), but they said no because the ranged DPS would be too overpowered.

This is no kind way to state how absolutely stupid this statement is. How is giving them a buff that already exists making them overpowered? This simply reinforces statics wanting Dragoon, which is precisely what the devs constantly whining about disliking. If nothing else, give it to another job.

Furthermore, if piercing makes physical range overpowered. What does that make Dragoon, who will almost always be in a serious raid group?

And even if you do accept that statement as valid, then he's essentially saying that he knows BRD/MCH are overpowered when a DRG is present, but does nothing about them being overpowered. In that case, he'd be admitting to knowingly keeping an imbalance around.

But Yoshida has said a lot of wonky things in the past. Just take a look at his latest statement about tank accessories. Or his explanation on how they tune fights. Or his statement on healer balance in PvP. I'm honestly starting to get used to it by now. I'd just love to know why he's saying so much stuff that makes people facepalm - Lost in translation? Too distanced from the game? Is it the coffee talking? Oh well.

This is the funniest part of him making that statement.
