The current job design system is not fit for purpose

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Nobody wants a job with 50 buttons to map. Frankly I think the 30+ I have on most jobs is excessive. I'd be much happier having around 20 abilities.

Also, the homogenization was necessary. It wasn't excessive. The "meta" being drg bard NIN, something" needed to stop.

Also, people always have disagreements over how the jobs work.

Remember bow mage? Lots hated it, but I knew people who enjoyed it.

I have also heard that monk is not disliked for lacking utility. They don't like how the 4.x rotation was changed.

The ast changes are fine, people just whine about "muh interesting card mechanics" because it was changed. Getting 15 boles wasn't fun. It was annoying.


Your point on "raid buffs and dots being removed, so you can't tell the difference without a parser" also makes no sense, as you wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Most people don't even know they are bad, how would having broken buffs change that?

Bards 2% flat damage buff is a lot. 2% doesn't "feel" like much, but it's party wide and they done have to do anything over than keep their songs rotating. 2% for people who know what they are doing is a lot.

Dps in encounters is hitting upwards of 150k in openers. A 10% buff would just be stupid there.
