THE STATE OF JOB DESIGN IN 2024 FF14

[4clubbedace]

Astro:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 600 POTENCY!



Gunbreaker:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 1000 + 1200 POTENCY!



Machinist:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 700 POTENCY!



Red Mage:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 520 POTENCY!



Scholar:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 700 POTENCY!



Monk:

Use your 1-min, then click on the same button again for 1300 POTENCY!



And of course, tons of upgrades to job actions that totally aren't just cosmetic changes!

"Yeah duh, you get 30 more potency, it's not the same anymore!!"

most of these are premade button consolidations (that you can unseperate) , its be the same as adding a button you use during your dmg up phase anyways, unless you want gnb to need two extra hotbars you crazy person

I mean.......don't you have cellphones???????
I mean, don't you all want to sweat your eyes off in ultimate raids to the last possible second? Impossible to design with more complex job rotations/mechanics.

Meanwhile GW2's necromancer can apply like 10 debuffs and dots without a set rotation; all based on what you want to do.



Ouch; still would've liked Green mage more than picto.

green mage isnt a "staple" job, green magic wasnt a thing till ff12, and even then most green magic spells were just classically the buff/debuff spells from white magic
