I mean... DNC isn't the only job with Raidbuffs? wait... the point I'm trying to make is that Square has vague reasonings behind Job Balance. Hence I make the comment they should categorize MCH/SAM/BLM as Selfish. I could care not for how vs that they do. Visually in-game in Character Menu, their website idc aslong as its reflected in how they Balance the Jobs which they clearly aren't.

Yes Cause opposite of that is far apart rDPS? which is ...imbalance?

Sure, players can clear content with imbalances but players feel disparities between Job not being equally or fairly balanced making it not worth playing. Wasted effort. Hence make rDPS more equal. How they implement the mathematical changes in a sensible fair manner across every level/content/raid/fight/jobs without gutting personal DPS vs overtuning rDPS-etc, that is all the Dev's Balancing problem. Not ours. Also no one mentioned to ignore " raw/adjusted DPS " either. I am not saying we all should be even more made braindead and all flatline the same raw DPS output, no. Then again this is all hypothetical as hypothetical the suggestion is to remove Range tax when they do all this.

You know what Square hypothetically could also do?
  • Throwing around random potency buffs
  • Applying them at random to random skills
  • Then randomly simplify and rework Jobs
  • That somehow deals more DPS after being made easier
  • Contradicting DPS based off of Job Difficulty
  • Pissing off players arguing what is actually more difficult
  • And out jealousy players demand balancing
  • Which randomly be addressed or just entirely not
  • Then incomes new Job with Expansion
  • With the random possible message look forward to it!
I'm not even trying to be cynical or pessimistic or spoiled like what we have isn't' good enough. Look at what I main, yes Decorator lol I'm just being realistic at this point lol. We all know it, we all know we're gonna get those potency buffs and it's not gonna be good enough for later down the road, we're still expecting it to happen. We know Range Tax is there to stay we know it. Players say it's BS that they don't like it, heck I don't like that I don't need to fight for my uptime as melee like in ShB raids it doesn't feel as rewarding alongside not having Kaiten but hey? players will still play with it cause it's how it is. Deal with it. We're still gonna be let down somehow cause it's not changing even though it all has flaws and it coulda been better. We know we're not supposed to expect anything otherwise, so lets just go with that
