Let's talk about the upcoming DRG rework...

[Reldhir]

In the digest of the live letter, it was clarified that they didn't actually rework DRG but made it (even) more streamlined. Their reasoning is that they were not going to do major reworks of jobs and would leave that for 8.0, and so DRG was simply "expanded" like the other jobs.

Therefore, we lost the eyes in the gauge for nothing, really. Hopefully they revert that change at some point but I don't think we can expect it before the expansion after Dawntrail.

Yeah, a little disappointed to read that honestly. Just because it feels like DRG is in limbo for another expansion. I know we're not owed any promises but would be nice if we could get an out right confirmation of the direction DRG is taking. Are we keeping the same core with iterative adjustments or are we getting the rework that was extensive enough that it had to be delayed an expansion? (now 2 if its still happening)

Honestly if they never mentioned a rework everything they've done so far would be within expectations for changes to the job after each expansion. They just gotta stop dangling a rework until they're actually ready and able to implement it.

Something that's also concerning is that the word "might" is used when it comes to changing jobs in 8.0. It may be that they'll leave it for 9.0 but I want to think they won't.

I don't think they said they were going to change jobs greatly though? How I read it was they were going to add onto the existing kit to create further distinction and make them feel more unique. The reason they didn't rework dragoon is because they are happy with how it works after a few modifications.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Well, the fact is DRG doesn't really need a rework, even if a massive overhaul of the overall design direction is needed - You could decouple the job from being a gog in the 2min meta machine just by removing/changing Battle Litany.

I'm more concerned over tanks and healers being neglected until 9.0 or beyond. DRG rework being a forgotten thought? Thank god. The preemptive feedback worked, good thing we didn't listen to the "just wait and see" and apologists.
