Don't nerf DRG - BUFF NIN

[ForteNightshade]

Even if you go down to the 50th percentile monk and dragoon are still top on half of the Eden fights.

Uh... at 50% on Innocence EX MCH is 200 above DRG, and currently #1. BRD is basically dead even with both DRG and MNK. So... what fight are you even looking at?

I just understand that samurai loses damage if the job is forced to disengage. However, haven’t we had enough where everything should always be about melee? Why can’t others shine? I agree that SAM could use a buff but to bring BLM down is the part I can’t get behind. BLM has mobility but what happens when they are forced to disengage for a mechanic and the boss is on the other side of the arena? The job loses damage. People like to say that BLM should be brought down, however the argument was different some time ago. It was all about... “I don’t understand why SE is afraid to give it the damage it needs to actually be a true selfish DPS.” Now that this has happened, people want to bring it low. Why not just buff the damn SAM, fix SMN issues with OGCD saturation, bring RDM up and fix its mana issues, fix ninja with buffs and address it’s play-style issues, fix monks issues and address is identity issues.

BLM can pre-position once they know attack patterns. Melee cannot. If a mechanic demands the melee disengage they can either chance eating said mechanic or lose damage. Furthermore, BLM now has substantially more tools to mitigate its losses—including a very potent shield to outright ignore a mechanic if need be. Regardless, no one is saying BLM should be brought down a lot but it's currently smoking everyone. Despite being a self DPS, they have 400 more rDPS than DRG or MNK. And they utterly dominate the Caster role. What it boils down to is simply, do you nerf BLM slightly or do you buff, SAM, RDM, SMN and possibly even DRG and MNK? This is the same argument people had regarding BRD in 4.4 where it was the obvious outliner given how every other range DPS fought for those two spot... except them.
