Job identity, simplification and balance in general

[Sylvain]

Was the Nastrond change requested on the japanese side? Because I can't ever recall anyone complaining about nastrond ever.

The Ten Chi Jin also makes little sens. Not moving for 3s every 2min wasn't such a big deal. If the issue was "unfortunate movement input throwing off the burst", well a compromise could have been done like making Ten Chi Jin a very tiny leyline. This way it would retain its identity while adressing minor issue. I've heard people talk about drifting controller making them unable to play the job. That's to me a very poor reason because this would imply all caster should stop being caster since you can't play them on a drifting controller.

The BLM change makes sens with the addition of Flare Star. You can be for or against but it clearly attempts to fix a problem about the new BLM rotation which is extensively complained about. But Ten Chi Jin and more especially, Nastrond? Can't ever recall a single forum post about those. (especially Nastrond)

I think this might have just been pre-emptive stuff. The fight designers asking for such instances to be removed from melee DPS. Next up with be Oblatio.

Yes, it's common for the JP player base to complain about the amount of weaves. I've seen suggestions of making Nastrond have 1 charge, removing Life Surge or Mirage Dive, further reducing the animation lock of jumps or even making them not move you anymore... it's not the majority but it happens often alongside other asks such as having a 1000 potency action or the job becoming selfish.

In fact, several posts over there are already praising some of the changes but others are concerned.
