    Idk why people are asking for WAR nerfs. I think the unkillable tank that can heal themselves is good niche for tank. And WAR isn't the strongest rn so nerfing them will likely lower the popularity.

    And yeah, SE is very much against nerfs unless it's ShB SMN, look how that turned out.

    Nerfing a job just so other jobs can keep up is a line they don't want to tread on unless they deem it necessary, lest they want backlash if said nerf goes too far. It's just easier to buff everything else.

    And NM raids tend to be super generous on dmg so no surprise there. SE is deathly afraid to make non-high end content hard because there's just too many players that can't be bothered to dodge an AoE or play ice mage.

    The bigger the playerbase gets, the less willing the dev team is willing to make things harder. Past harder content like extreme and savage, you won't see fights that are "hard".

    Machinist, Ninja, Parry, Accuracy, Tanks melding STR instead of Vit, DRK, Phys Ranged + SMN being scuffed, Healers not being needed in endgame dungeons on more then one occasion unless you grouped with a DRK, removal of almost all DoTs and Positionals.

    Objectively a whole lot of stuff is a nerf.

    While I agree classes should just be buffed I think WAR DPS should be increased and it's healing should be knocked down a peg.

    You could probably get away with 2 DPS and 2 WAR or 1 WAR and 3 DPS in typical 4 man content.

    And even now endgame content with no healers at all.

    The amazing thing about this Warrior clearing the fight is given there is no enrage timer, it is synced content, endgame content, no echo buff to speak of and it can be done. I think Paladin could maybe do it too.

    But I think a GNB would struggle to do so and Dark Knight just forget it.

    Sure they are. When it concerns DPS. From my Healer Double Standard post 2 years ago:

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
