Let's redefine "damage taxes"

[MagiusNecros]

As for the raise issue the devs can take notes from themselves.

Just give everyone a role action(call it Phoenix Down lol) that is a Raise that's instant and has a 5 minute CD. Wow amazing. If you need more raise then you have 2 healers and SMN/RDM(sometimes BLU) to pick people up.

I mean you could argue giving BLM a raise on the metric that RDM, SMN and even BLU all have a raise spell.

But given the current new jobs and soon to come reworks of PLD/AST/DRG you can look at Reaper for "modern job design". It's pretty disgusting to look at on a internal level.

And the thing with casters right now is in terms of damage you have something like this...

Melee Kings(So SAM/MNK)
|
Black Mage
|
Other Melee
|
|
|
|
RDM/SMN

Like huh.

And the phys ranged have a whole separate issue between MCH being middle of the road with pretty much no utility other then Tactician(lol defensive) and Peloton(lol) and BRD/DNC having overall low damage but a lot of damage buffs. Specifically DNC.

And all that utility stacks up so their deceptive low damage is actually quite high which puts MCH in a awkward place.
