    SE, fix your old A rank health points.

    ARR/HW/SB A ranks Health Points feels so huge. I used to one shot them, few shot them or 10 mins fights on SHB as a tank. But now on EW, it like 10 mins, 30mins or unkillable as a tank. It really sucks to see the stat squash ruined something fun to do whenever you see A rank from old content and solo it for giggles.

    The health of all enemies was already changed in the squish. They seem to die just as quickly as they used to at level 90, especially if you use a DPS.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    I could nearly one-shot A ranks at level 80 with Hyoshin pre-squish. Now with close to BiS level 90 gear I need to do my full opener and a bit of filler to kill them.

    Though I consider that a net positive since the ARR S ranks were getting deleted in sub-five seconds by even small crowds of players previously.

    keep in mind that ARR A-Ranks need to be scaled to lvl 50 players for people that havent bought any expansion yet (which is a legit reason)

    nvm, I just read the headline and expected a "pls buff A-Rank" comment xD

    Did one on my SCH, took 10 minutes.

    Tried a SB one, took me and two others about 15.

    Not bothering now.

    No. A ranks are meant to be done with other people. This is a good change.

    As far as i remember this has nothing to do with the stat squish. Yoshi hated the idea of A/S Ranks being 1HKOed by max level players, so they changed that on purpose

    B rank mobs included.

    Could one shot before, takes 4-5 hits now.

    Something is clearly off on Hunt HP values.

    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]

    This also may have to do with how your stats increase via the leveling process. For example say you have cryplurker gear and get to 85 you will notice that even with the same gear your stats have gone down and your spell speed or skill speed will be less. Until usually that tiers ironworks, shire, scavean, cryplurker at level so 50,60,70,80 respectively will your character be as they were. If this makes any sense. So at 90 right now, it will feel harder to kill things than it will when doing a hunt at max gear for this tier, a huge difference possibly. Sure they will still not be one shottable I assume, but it would take less time. As your character gets higher level the worse their stats, so am assuming this is just a balancing thing that is done to keep stats from raising too high between expansion so you feel more powerful later. Though when down synced sometimes things go fooy like spell speed being way longer cast time than when you were at that level or sometimes too fast depending on gear and level range.
