Dancer Flourish is badly designed and not actually enjoyable to use

[JanVanding]

Where were you expecting DNC to be? At the top? Because that would put us in the same boat as SMN: broken. We shouldn’t be at the top of a parse; we’re a pseudo-support job. When you start placing support jobs at the top of a parse, then you run into problems.



I would propose more potency. Perhaps just a smidge in Reverse Cascade and Fountainfall. They are force proc’d enough that it could make a difference—after all; 50 potency on Rising Windmill and Bloodshower also helped make a difference. The “feast and famine” is not that terrible at level cap. I’d improve it at lower levels by readjusting when we learn Flourish—primarily, I’d move Flourish pre-70 at the least, to train DNCs into using it earlier and helping with the RNG. Because your RNG improves once you’re able to force proc your feather-granting skills.



No need to change the cooldowns for TF or Devilment. 2 minute between bursts is fine, and goes well with Flourish’s 1 minute cooldown.



I’d like you to try not spending your feathers the minute you get them, and then tell me how you feel about RNG. I feel hesitant to listen to suggestions of a DNC who admits to rotational errors.

Not asking for us to be top, I'm saying our support skills are overvalued just like the BRDs.

5% consistent bonus to partner and self 5% for 50 seconds to team critical and direct rate by 20% for 20 seconds and a 10% damage reduction for 15 sec that won't stack with BRD or MCH version. Coming in at 11k dps

Meanwhile the AST (my main class) offers a massive damage buff opener which they can cover all dps with offering a minimum of 10% to each they card/Destiny, can consistently keep buffing damage throughout while waiting for destiny, have burst in the form of Earth Star/Giant Star which also doubles as a delayed area heal, consistency through DoTs and are parsing in full gear 8-9k dps. All while being a strong healer with good OGCDs and instants they can use between focused heal windows to keep damage/draw buffs flowing.

Now, explain to me, how it's acceptable for a DNC to offer their buffs, no Rez and bottom tier dps when you can just take an AST in the healer spot, take a MCH for the extra mitigation or if you don't need it, take the best dps in the game with the priceless Rezz skill?

People called me stupid when I said SMN had been over buffed on patch day, do the math, you're a smart person. We are in danger of being discluded and you're in denial of it.
