So... Are you arguing it's not overtuned because they can die?

because that's a very enlightening conclusion forum person

Your (and very apparently a lot of the posters here) version of the word ‘overturned’ and mine are exceedingly different. Like I said, if you feel it’s broken, feel intimidated, feel threatened by this current version, you have that right. I’ve been fighting them since 3.0 when they were LITERALLY tanking entire teams, not just 5 people, 2 of which can effectively coordinate a burst and kill them. Are they challenging to kill? Yes indeed. But a problem, overturned? Naaaaa.

Then again, maaaaybe that’s at the core of the matter lol. Something solid comes along (mch- bte 1-shot, war 1 man army, smn fieldwiper days) and people expect to just hit the delete button on it or start crying. A little coordination goes a looooong way. Haha, you already know the phrase. Begins with G.

Just saying, not everyone has a difficulty with it.

50k aoe damage is broken. Idk however it got through QA and Testing. It is insane and SE should put a personal apology on lodestone from Yoshida and Japanese Prime Minister the next 6hrs for releasing it like that. That is the how much they got it wrong. Recuperate doing 10k to counter a 50k aoe damage, lololol. Perfect trolling from the devs. Just die and lose.

I think we should also get the UN and ICJ involved.

Seriously though, the main problem I have is the 5s duration of heavy when AST doublecasts it. That is a really long time in a mode that moves as fast as FL and in which there are so many enemies ready to smack you in the teeth.

I don't think wasting time and resources chasing a good AST around is gonna go smoothly most of the time. And again, the problem is that they offer way too much support, healing and kill potential to their party compared to anyone else.

Are you OK? no job is "unstoppable". I mean, it isn't as though Red Mages don't have instant- cast CC or shields, or heals- o, wait- they do.

AST can currently retain their Double Casted spell for 30 seconds, brace yourself for the Gravilogion and their mighty Triple Gravity combo.

Also bracing for the return of the Aether premades and their AST+ solution to the 7.1 meta.

Honestly all of this is already borderline broken, but what truly baffles me is how the heck did they decide to give a RPR teleport to a ranged healer that doesn't even care about walls much. This skill isn't even there in pve. I get that sometimes pvp gets unique skills like that new PLD fancy shield smite, and its effect is cool and makes sense for that one, but retrogradation? What is even the justification behind this I don't even...

And what I find really scary is that they're probably not going to remove it. They don't remove things they worked to add to the game. At best we'll get balance changes, but how do you even balance this?
