I don't even play SAM much but I feel gutted. I haven't wanted to log in since the patch, and that's despite DRK now finally feeling playable.

This just does not bode well for the future of job design. Healers will continue to have nothing engaging to do. Tanks can solo content in most grindy way possible. And now none of the DPS jobs outside of BLM will be mentally stimulating. And everyone is expected to stick to a rigid 2 minute burst window that leaves them bored and on autopilot 3/4 of uptime.

This is objectively bad design and they just keep leaning further into it. Players don't have agency anymore. They are given a single-octave baby piano and expected to slowly plink away to sheet music at a snail-like 60 bpm with the rest of the class until teacher says time up, lets practice movement 2. This is hardly a game anymore. It's band class and the only payoff you are getting is a participation trophy because only your parents bothered to endure that end of semester performance.
