Lets talk about caster balance

[Sequora]

Yeah, I really hate the balance in the casters right now. With smn being reworked to be on about same level as rdm it feels like we don't have an in-between caster between blm and rdm... I still stand by my statement that smn is right now a worst rdm since both pretty much beings the same thing to a party but one is much better in most of the things they bring. I love to have a 4th caster closer to blm but maybe has some utility in a buff or something. No rez tho I do not want another rez caster... In fact, I also like to see the caster rez nerfed in someway. I know this expac is the first time I just don't want to play a caster. I hate blm(for a lot of reasons), rdm is just so meh, and my beloved smn has been gutted to the point I just don't enjoy it anymore. Love to have at least one more choice in the caster role. I've seen a lot of talk from people who want another melee to share gear with nin but I feel the game really doesn't need another melee. The melee role is most likely the most well-balanced role in the game and I say the caster role is the worst.

I’m on the same page. I’ve been maiming summoner, but debating either switching to red mage or switching to another DPS.

This is my first expac not raiding in a static, so I’m pugging everything. Jobs like dancer and ninja depend more on how well the other party members perform.

This makes me consider trying out a job with more personal DPS like SAM.

All this said, I wish summoner would become the in between caster. Take away rez and increase our DPS.

Also hoping for a new caster for 7.0. Come on Geomancer!

Im thinking about trying sam in my static next tier since I cant play rpr. Funny thing about smn is the fact they thought about taking the rez away but chickened out of it. I would had love to see what a rezless smn would look like and do... Either way here hoping for 7.0 caster. I have no job in mind I like to see tho Geomancer would be pretty cool!
