6.28 Patch Notes

[FireMage]

If you did know what you were talking about, you would have brought up the term 'interquartile ratio' as an objective measure of performance distribution, and understand how sample power relates to comparing two different population samples.

Hey remember when Xenosys Vex literally hopped from WAR to GNB and then suddenly was clearing Heph 1? I do. Literally a case of bring the class. You are dismissed until you have something of value to post

You do realize this completely nullifies your original argument, yes? Xeno wouldn't have switched if Warrior was balanced properly. And it would be balanced properly if the devs (and people in general) stopped using subjective variables like job difficulty.

Even taken at face value, that excuse doesn't hold up. Pretty much every experienced tank player would rank Paladin as the most difficult tank to optimize. Hence the "spreadsheet tank" memes. Meanwhile, a good amount of players consider Dark Knight very similar to Warrior. So by that logic, Dark Knight should be among the weakest tanks. Instead, it's the strongest in nearly every category. It's almost like job difficulty is, yet again, entirely subjective and a very poor metric to use.

Put another way. Most players will play their preferred job regardless of whether an easier achieves comparable damage. Gunbreaker players aren't going to suddenly become Warrior mains if the latter was buffed to match it. Look no further than White Mage, a job which has always been ranked below Astro in the meta scene yet is always more popular. This only changes if the separation becomes too high.

so you agree that all jobs should be working at a similar level of performance no matter how they play.
