The Devs need a much needed thanks!

Here is the thing, we can be nice about it, go to the place to tell them "hey, you might need to make some changes here and there" goes silent. Or they have a live letter to stick to there choices. However, when you have everybody from all over, from English side to the japanese side saying the same thing and voices are not being heard and the only time they will "fix" things when everybody yells and make videos about it. It shouldn't have to be.

yes, they added echo, yes they fixed the healer lb so that it does not give us weakness. That was past not now. Yes they are human and they can make mistake. But they need to iron that out on there end as far as communicating with themselfs and the community If there stance was to make every job viable on every bit content then they need to make sure that they work out the kinks before launch

That's why there is a feedback forum, though I would be safe to assume that the people that actually use the forums is just only a fraction of the people that actually play the game, devs only have so much to go by. When developers see all the bashing it makes them feel less connected to the game. Look at WoW for instance, a single raid tier has over 30 nerfs combined over all bosses in a span of a month. Yet people here complaining like 1 nerf to a boss is the end of the world.

Kindly see update.

Well yes its only a faction because some of them A) does not know about it and does not know where to give feed back or B) alot of people rather live in a echo chamber.

I never played wow

But you missed the point that i mentioned before. Since they want to make all job viable then this should not been a issue.

You say dev have only much to go by? We have official forums for all languages and people make thread asking for changes. Remember back in HW with pld? from hw and now the feed back with pld became good.

The devs dont see the feedback the community rep does , and keep in mind ours stepped down years ago never got one ever since. The only time we have mod interactions are when leaks happen and they try to delete threads and posts or when they have to close threads

People speak up when there is justified criticism. Do you think it's healthy to just be a yes-man to everything the devs do?
Clearly some people felt they was upset about the change.
Personally I couldn't care less but I don't really raid so I don't have a say in the matter.

The nerf was much needed, an apology letter was stated by Yoshi P. However, it's just more of a temporary fix. PLDs got a decent potency buff as they are a sustained damage tank to be more in line with the other 3 tanks which have much more significant burst during a 2 minute window. Back in ShB, PLDs were actually in a nice spot. As they stated they are looking to rework PLD as a whole.

WARs buff was only 10 Potency on their main combo rotation outside of the burst.

When it comes to a pure dps class like MCH, RDM a lot more has to be taken into consideration when balancing the class rather than just adding potency to their abilities. Damage variance is taken into account along with uptime and movement. With Melee having at least a 98% uptime on all 4 bosses (minus the untargetable phases that P5s and P8s p2 offer) makes range a lot less valuable. So behind closed doors they are probably discussing on what to do with BRD and MCH.

DNC brings a ton of raid utility which is fine, and the proc's they have to have leave them in a decent spot for range.

RDM (imo) is the least mobile of the 3 casters. BLM having 7 instant cast, dashing to an ally, dashing back to fey lines, and able to work those instant cast around heavy movement mechanics, SMN with two primal phases, bahamut, and phoenix all being instant cast makes them extremely Mobile. RMD is stuck with only Accelerate and swift cast. They have to cast every other ability to be able to swift cast < on top of that for melee (which is mobile) you have to build up for it which allows scorch < holy < flare < resolution to all be insta cast. They do have enchanted Reprise at 330 potency costing 5 black/white mana, but that slightly delays your melee combo.

Each class has a flaw, but some more noticeable than others at the moment.
