Red Mage and Machinist should be closer to Ninja than the rest with Bard under them at roughly the spot Red Mage is at now. Samurai should still be ahead of Monk, who just needs their buff reverted with no other changes. I might say knock a minor peg off of Technical Finish (not a full revert of the buff, but closer to where it started than where the buff put it) on Dancer just to put them closer to Summoner, but the rest of their buffs are good and it doesn't need to be tweaked further.

All in all it's better than before but intentionally ignores some problems. I wasn't expecting gameplay changes till 6.1 because that's not how SE does things, but these numbers are still off. We'll see if the gameplay changes screw with it.

Also no healer changes sucks and RIP dragoon tether. I'll miss actually enjoying Experts with them.
DNC MCH and brd all do an amount of damage relative to their damage party buffs.

Why bother taking a SMN with your philosophy? A more mobile less useful red mage? Less damage,less utility?
