Why Black Mage is the best designed job and what can be learned from it

[rawker]

I mean I still don’t get why you think HW problems that were fixed 3 expansions ago have any relevance to the current talent or quality of the design team

I am merely making a reference to an instance where community feedback has pushed a change to a job that may even not be what they originally planned.

PLD’s trajectory during EW has been well designed class that’s too weak->well designed class that’s still too weak but not as weak->diet GNB

Weak in what area? DPS? Kindly elaborate.

If we are bringing up things they have “fixed” since HW we can also make an argument that just about every class has become better or worse in 10,000 different ways depending on the player

Partially correct. The main idea for everything I have said was them taking feedback from the community and attempts to implement it.
