Everyone's talking about smn buffs. But what about mch

[Karshan]

as i really don't intend to beat a dead horse until it revives itself just to run away i will only say i appreciate that you at least took the time to answer my question, even if it was in a rather personal way by stating that from your position it is simply the value you would indeed put on free movement while admitting this might or might not be on you instead of acting like you simply know better by default. In a just as personal way i'm gearing my smn(which i completly leveled as scholar) at the moment, not to be overpowered, but to get him up to close my bards gear level and see just what i can get out of that, who knows, maybe after 2 weeks of summoner i will start complaining just how hard it is, and how great free movement feels ? on the other hand i may just get pissed at square for dealing 1000 dps more on a class i've played for half a month compared to a class i've played for over a year, we'll see. this isn't meant as a slight to anyone, i just believe its helpfull to try out the other side to get a better understanding of it.

It's exactly that feeling actually. It's pissing me off that there are some classes that you just pick and you deal more with it within 2 days than you were with a class for 4 months, just by the design and shitty balance. That should not happen.

But now I understand better Kabooa, and indeed it was just a question about how much people value mobility. Kabooa, you put it at 5%, I value it less, because in a fight you know (which is where you parse, and also which represents several months while prog is only 2-3 weeks) I find mobility to be irrelevant : you've worked your way around uptime with any class for a long time at this point.

But that, I can agree may not be shared by everyone (although I think this is quite a valid argument)
Put it like this : it is harder to learn a fight in BLM than as MCH, so BLM looks bad first 2 weeks, but then range pay a toll that's not needed anymore for several months for it. BLM in a mastered fight w8 just rolls over it, while the mch is still hindered. Just like RDM with verraise (ps : just get rid of the raise already and boost rdm dmg plz SE).

So I'm not saying there is an absolute right or wrong, just what I just want to avoid is : I really love class X, but it's 1k behind so it's a liability.
How we achieve avoiding that is where we can argue, but I honestly feel having it only 300 and not 1k behind helps a great deal in resolving that matter.
