Dancer suggestion change in 5.1

[HyoMinPark]

Nerf standard finish buff to partner to 1%
Nerf Technical Step buff to party to 2%

Buff the rest of dancer personal dps to red mage level and your dancer is fixed

Buff DNC to RDM levels? You mean, to the job that is just barely beating it in terms of damage? The job that is 1,300+ rDPS below BLM? The job that has been handicapped since its inception because the developers cling to Verraise being a utility worth taxing that heavily? That’s not going to fix anything. It will just kill off DNC.

As would your nerfs. 1% on Standard and 2% on a party-wide Technical every 2 minutes? What would be the point of bringing the job at all at that point? AST’s Divination used to be a 6% buff every 3 minutes. What did people complain about regarding it (clunky gameplay aside)? That it was too weak for its cooldown. 2% on a 2-minute buff would be laughably weak. Why even bother pressing the skill at that point.


Contrary to what people think, DNC is the lowest in terms of personal damage and total rDPS contribution. Even RDM and NIN, as much as they are suffering right now, beat DNC in rDPS. Despite DNC offering 1,600+ rDPS in buffs, its personal damage is too low to push it above any other damage dealer. The job doesn’t need nerfs to any of its utility: it needs potency buffs to its personal damage.
