Which Job, in your opinion, has the biggest identity issue?

Unironically imagining them turning BRD into another 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 with heat sink gauge in response to the complaints of what it feels like now. Because heaven forbid XIV doesn't turn more jobs into more of the same.

Same, BRD is the only DPS I can stand at 80+ and this thread is making me twitchy.

I’d also delete the skill that makes you straight shot ready since it’s been power crept to hell, the personal damage up buff could be baked into battle voice then you even have some free buttons in order to maybe add another support skill

If you're talking about Barrage, I kind of like it for how it has an inverted interaction with Shadowbite procs. 'Dungeon-only skills lol' and so forth, but it's more entertaining than button bloat crap like Orogeny.

I agree orogeny is about the worst skill design of an oGCD possible I just don’t think barrage justifies a button, like I said BRD should stay a job that attempts to prioritise procs in a particular order, I just think that they could delete a bit of its bloat and redistribute the damage to its actual impactful skills so that the proc balancing actually feels rewarding

It's even weirder given that Expiacion doesn't have this issue. Might be 'but homogenization!!!!' but I think they should have just done the same as PLD and made Upheaval upgrade to have an AOE component to it. Make it a move where you stomp the ground so hard lava erupts or something (the axe disappearing for Orogeny's animation looks very bad)
