Wondering what to do, honestly...

Here's the thing:
Where all in this game where we just want to blow some steam, yes?
What if you come back from work, just want to play on your favorite job and it's locked out of PF? Is that a pleasing experience?

Balance, yes. Boring, samey jobs, no.
I have yet to be be excluded in PF and if I do less damage because I happen to play a job that just doesn't I. Do. Not. Care.

The thing is your individual experience shouldn't define what others can or can't do. You do not care, fine but this is not about you. If you don't have a problem with it, why do you care wether or not the balance is adjusted so nobody has to deal with that issue ?

Balance affects me since job diversity gets eroded to the point where all feel the same. We need to accept that some outliers are just what happens since perfect balance is not achievable. Or do you want to see jobs being more homogenised to reach that? I don't. And yet the jobs I like to play are boring if the encounters don't provide it. Jobs themselves should already be fun. They are not in a lot of cases.

I think it is most definitely possible to balance jobs within 1% of each other without homogenizing them.

That is not remotely close to proper balance. 5-6% is

I mean, I'd hope so! I just haven't seen in yet.

You could have both balance and job/gameplay diversity. Why make them oppose each other lol

What we can have and what we get are two different realities.

You look at FF14 over the years and tell me which of the two realities we fall into more often.

5%-6% would if there was melee downtime. There is not in any fight design of Endwalker. It should be 2% to 3%.

Given each melee is still harder than every phys ranged and caster sans BLM, you are factually wrong
