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

[Kabooa]

^ I’m with this. Just freaking delete Disembowel from the game already. Every other physical DPS can “buff themselves” with their respective resistance downs, but screw BRD/MCH. Because “too OP”. Way to just continue to reinforce the DRG/BRD/MCH meta.

This logic makes absolutely no freaking sense. You have got to be kidding me. I’m convinced they don’t actually know how to balance jobs. Too busy making mobile apps and thinking up of microtransactions, I suppose.

I can explain this pretty easily.

Every job that applies their own Permanent Resistance Down takes that into account when tallying their final damage output. This goes into their 'budget' and includes their defensive options, their party buffing, and any utility they bring.

The issue is we currently have jobs that don't adhere to these rules.

Warrior, Monk, Bard, and Machinist.

Warrior and Monk are sort of in the 'too good' camp. They don't really seem to suffer in any notable area currently, while you have Samurai and Dark Knight on the opposing end, who don't seem to get -good enough- at anything to warrant the holes.

Mach and bard are pretty well balanced without Disembowel, and frankly, adding it to them likely means you just get dumped on base power so you end up in the same spot.
