Job Balancing 6.08 (still needs work)

Right now I feel if you do not play Reaper you aren't doing decent damage in comparison. Ranged makes sense to do a little less damage since you have a lot more freedom, but other melee shouldn't be this weak in comparison.

Reaper is second last in rdps among the melee jobs on FFLogs right now. BLM is also beating it by quite a bit.

And all it took was removing the nerf on Xenoglossy and increasing the potency on practically everything (except Despair) across the board to fix it. It's quite interesting to see how they nerfed the class going into EW so massively and gave it the single largest buff I've seen since about 4.1 when Fire 4 became a 2.8s cast with 300 potency (from 3s/260 iirc, or was that multiple patches).

They truly were fine with reaper. It was everyone else who was in an awful position.

The disparity between the top and bottom now is so much worse than it was in 6.05, if reapers DPS put everything else in an awful position what does 6.08 BLM, MNK and SAM do lol? BLM is an astounding 500 rDPS ahead of its role now, and the gap is much, much larger in its pDPS. BLM is definitely the most egregiously overtuned job at the moment(to the point its DPS is so massive it's probably worth bringing 2 of them since their DPS probably outweighs the 1% buff) but monk and samurai aren't too far behind. Reaper is also now in a terrible spot, it has the worst raid buff of the melee and its personal dps is so far behind SAM and now even MNK which was already ahead of it that it's likely now the weakest melee aside from possibly ninja, so if they are fine with that than they are apparently fine with bad balance.
