My Eulogy for Machinist

[Nyarlha]

It's so much the majority Yoshida had to mention complexity and reassure players that Reaper wasn't a easy job.
Jobs should be balanced for high-end content players, not dungeon players.

In the same LL he deliberately stated they won't ever return to 3.x job design, as much as some people want it, and that instead they'll built upon 5.x design and its ease of access.

People need to start accepting that, and no amount of crying about that on the forums will change that.

Oops forgot something.
Yes, you don't want 3.0 "difficulty". Believe me it was a massive amount of crap. Most ppl that wants this design are nostalgic.

For example MCH had to cast and weave 3 buffs back to back. A pushback was part of their rotation so in dungeon pull they would push back a mob.
DRK MP management was terrible.
AST balance was crap, it literally had a card that would increases damages by crazy amounts.

Almost every jobs had a dot, it was ridiculous in 24 man raid because bosses had a limitation of debuff they could get. If you had too much summoners, 3 dots back then, oboi.

I'm not asking for 3.X design, I'd rather take SB MCH.
EDIT: To give you an example, 3.X design is SMN. Clunky, revolves around dot(s) and abilities that don't make sense. Minus a dmg buff you had to maintain for some jobs.
