Bard lacks even the slightest bit of nuance now, Monk is a complete mess and well, I think the sheer volume of complaints say everything about the healers.

5.1 is also when things started to balance out better. 5.0 was a complete train wreck.




More than likely because at this point, no one expects the card system to change until 6.0. Look at Stormblood Dark Knight. They didn't touch it despite is slowly dropping into near obscurity.
AST 5.0 was god awful. The Regens were so bad it actually hurt my soul. Personal opinion I think it was the best expansion for a lot of other things, story, job actions, GnB, dancer and etc but not for balance. It wasn't job balance by far.
