6.1 job adjustments as announced

[Grimoire-M]

It's sad that the biggest buff mentioned was making WHM not suck at Death's toll in P3S.

Nerfing the zoom on Expedient is hilarious though.

[Teno]

Worthless LL in regards to healer job changes, as usual.

[Haadrak]

Oh man I can't wait for these patch notes. If that screenie floating around with the hotbars and MP costs is finalized then they've managed to dig under even my wildest low expectations for knowing what's wrong with WHM's MP economy. Yeah, regen was too expensive, that was it.

Well they could have reduced Cure I's MP cost to encourage you to use freecure more. Be thankful. /s

Kaiten change is fucking terrible and they should've compressed shoha+shoha2 and hissatsu:guren+hissatsu:senei instead if button bloat was the issue.

Instead they took away a key part of kenki management and got rid of one of the cooler feelings of the class: powering up your big moves.

Someone get me off Yoshi-P's Oversimplification Wild Ride

EDIT: Healer changes are unbelievably shit as well and do nothing to address healer concerns, at all. It's mind boggling really. The biggest announcement they could do for healers is "hey, we turned lilybell into a shitty earthly star lol".

There was no management. TF you talking about? Each combo gave you enough for a single kaiten. It was a flashy oGCD. That’s about it.

If you were dumb and blew all your opening kenki on your damage OGCDs then you wouldn't be able to use it for the buffs, ergo there is still management there. It also feels impactful to buff up one's stronger moves like that, and getting rid of that for the sake of un-needed simplicity, especially when LITERALLY NOT A SINGLE SOUL complained about it, is just dumb in my book and a waste of dev time. Especially when people actually complained about the button bloat in the form of separate AOE abilities for your long-CD kenki spenders and for Shoha when they could've been easily compressed.

[Kazimere]

I don’t care about back in the day. Samurai are swimming in Kenki since EW. There is no management. At all.

Totally get expedient keeps its 10% damage taken reduction duration but kinda irritated the nerf to expedient goes from 20 to 10 seconds I enjoyed this skill. It is quite irritating that scholar and WHM don't compare to their SGE/AST counterparts, though sure we haven't seen the patch notes yet.

[Shikiseki]

At least leave expedient at 20s if used outside combat.... it was so nice using it in dungeons...

Guys going zip zap bippity bop too much fun what do? Scholar is letting people walk slightly faster out of mechanics this too good, nerf to 10 seconds.

*Astro deletes entire healer check with Macrocosmose* Mmm. Balanced, as all things should be.
