5.08 Patch - DPS still not balanced.

[ForteNightshade]

3. Its still better to take a MNK/DRG over SAM on any given time, as well as taking anything over a NIN except for DNC at the moment which means I suspect we also need buffs on DNC.

Since you keep prattling this nonsense, I am going to be blunt. Your bias is showing. Ninjas have already uploaded logs and are pulling within 350 rDPS of Dragoon. They are absolutely crushing the Range, Red Mage and Summoner now. Top five Ninjas in E2S are all above 15,000 rDPS with the highest reaching 15,311. The highest ranked Summoner is pulling 14,634. Bear in mind, this is only after a single day. Ninja numbers will likely keep climbing now that people are actually playing and gearing it. Conversely, the highest ranked Dragoon is 15,791.

So please tell me how Ninja is worse than every other job except Dancer when in literally one day, it stomped on the remaining four by 700 rDPS?

Now I do agree there is a LOT of work in regards to balancing. But being pointlessly hyperbolic like this will not help.

I think it's more that they legitimately don't care about things being perfectly balanced; just balanced enough that people won't feel like they're being hindered by bringing a certain class.

To be fair, job balance in ShB has been horrendous. Red Mage, for example, is arguably a hindrance. Black Mage is doing almost 2,000 more rDPS, which is downright embarrassing. This means a good Black Mage could literally AFK for 30 seconds and still easily beat a Red Mage at 95%
