    This isn't the "full emergency rework" they made it out to be. Some potencies got adjusted, dots removed, and bulwark added back.

    Overall, relatively tame and lackluster.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I thought everyone was super anxious they'll take a hammer to the Job and remake it a WAR/GNB clone.

    Where's the range increase for Succor on Scholar? Nobody asked for a separate button that turns off tank stance. Nobody asked for a buff to Shake-It-Off. Warriors are not the healer, stop acting like they are. Where's the removal of the MP cost from The Blackest Night? Where's the raid buff for Machinist that people keep asking for? Square Enix has heavily failed their players with this patch.

    It kind of is. Now you just burst Fight or Flight and Requiescat together instead of using it separately. Goring Blade too, it looks like. It does kind of lose something not using Goring Blade as often, although we use Holy Spirit instead.

    They did. WAR spams Storm's Path and PLD spams Royal Authority. WAR does Fell Cleaves sometimes, PLD does Holy Spirit sometimes. WAR uses Inner Release, PLD uses Requiescat.

    Where PLD is better and has been better even before this, is they have a whole extra combo after Confiteor, whereas WAR doesn't have a combo after Primal Rend (hint 7.0).

    What helps break up the 1-2-3 combo compared to WAR is that PLD also gets to spam 3 Atonements regularly.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."
