it only concerns a small proportion of the playerbase + you can still run rdm for m1s-m3s and pct for m4s with double melee
but another issue is if they are way more melee player than casters, it's a problem if the optimal comp si double caster + single melee
Except there is nothing about PCT that is going to enforce a double caster comp I have no idea where you guys are getting this idea
PCT is only ahead above 95 and even at max the amount it does above the 2nd job doesn’t justify hard locking a spot to it
All PCT’s current damage position does is open the 4th slot to a caster as long as that caster is either PCT or BLM (once it get buffed), that doesn’t change that the 4th slot can also just as easily be filled with a melee. Melee will still be prioritised for that slot in comps that prefer safety as melee have more health so the tanks only need to protect one caster, and melees damage profile is more consistent than the damage casters
There is no creation of a preferred double caster comp it’s just becoming a soft option
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
