The coming balance changes to jobs

[Dewslam]

Yes, please bring everyone up to reaper's level. I want to be able to solo the shadowbringers extremes before this expansion is out.

As a nin main happy with were nin is at for 90 I feel that they are in a really good place atm. But doing old ultimates they def need some love without their 90 rotation. Most people complaing just view the job in its current state now but wait a few weeks and see how hard their relative dps scales when groups are better geared.

What makes you think number of oGCDs = hard? DRG has tons and tons of oGCD and is one of the easier Jobs.

DRG is ultra busy in EW compared to SHB. I agree the base rotation is simple but you really have to be on point with your ogcds all the time to perform well - so it is not as easy as it seems.
Not to mention Animation lock during Jumps which makes it impossible to double weave them.

If i compare RPR to DRG - RPR is way easier to learn and not as busy as DRG and it Deals more DMG.

I still like DRG more than RPR but i think i will flex back and forth sometimes because i enjoy both jobs

Are CPM and APM metrics meaningful at all?

RDM definitely does a lot of casts but that's just because all our casts are short, but I feel it's got to be the most simplistic and easiest caster dps.

They better give NIN the old assassinate skill back as well, the NIN rotation isnt complete without it.

They need another variable in the balancing of classes or else this will always be an issue. A raid buff that makes everyone deal more damage is not utility.

[IdowhatIwant]

Mmmm delicious that Reaper privilege. It won't be nerfed. Others will be buffed.

They typically do not nerf classes unless they are broken in some way. They announced in HW they would only be buffing classes.

Rather than straight balance, I think they need more utility.

As is, my circle of friends opt to never bring a healer to any content we do unless it is required. A PLD's clemency/rdm heals are enough to get us through most trials/treasure hunts/etc. I would love to see more useful but not DPS related things.

BRD has performance. Ninja has the stealth ability (which should be identical to the DoL jobs; no speed loss).
I would like healers to get Protect back, so there's a reason to bring them to other content (straight damage reduction). Or give them re-raise that sticks even though you change jobs (for those "oops I died in BFE" moments)

[Recon1o6]

There's been multiple translations of this piece separately, I'll sum them up.

BLM/SAM confirmed getting buffed
PLD and MNK highly likely to get a buff
DNC likely to get a buff to its own damage rather than party damage
RPR not being nerfed
DRG is a candidate for buff

Explicit mention of "just because I didn't say your job, does not mean it won't get adjusted and we will definately look into adjusting them based on feedback given

Of course, since we know the devs do not read the official forums beyond the dps pages, drk's and healers will need to deflate their hopes again for any meaningful adjustments.

I am a dirty casual that plays the game the best she can and understands, and I don't play healer, except WHM for hunts and funsies with trusts. But I was very surprised last night when I decided to level my 80 WHM doing some shared fates in EW. Since they were mostly adds fates, I was using mostly assize, holy, asylum and medica II refresh. I never had to rez anyone. I had lucid dreaming, thin air and all that up. But I had to drink ether bottles regularly to fill up mp. That had never happened to me before, so either I am missing something, or yes, WHM has a sudden mp issue...
