5.08 Patch - DPS still not balanced.

[lulunami]

What does it mean to be balanced? Does balanced mean every job does the same damage? Maybe they want Monk and Black Mage to be the strongest DPS job by far?

In the older expansions, you are better off bringing another Bard or ranged DPS instead of Black Mage or Monk. Only the development team knows how much inequity they want in the game.

Certain jobs may be weaker than other jobs, but the severity of the gap is up to the developers. The gap between Dancer and Black Mage right now, for example, is relatively minor compared to a lot of class based games.

Yoship said in the PLL that monk is doing more damage than samurai who is pure job and he is sorry or something like that monk is never intended to do this high damage...

I mean we have way less scamming of other players compared to games like Archeage who have no policy against scamming of any sort, but it doesn't mean that we should be letting people who scam get off scot free because "Hey, at least we're not as bad as that game."

Classes need to be balanced
