Do you think that Picto needs a nerf?

[Realfoxy]

Doing that would put it below RDM in savage and still above everyone else in ultimate

So you’ve basically just made it useless in savage and don’t change its dominance in ultimate

That’s what I’m saying, people are quick to go “just do x fourhead” but then don’t really think through what x does

90th Percentile PCT does 29.5k aDPS (looking at FFlogs Arcadion stats for 7.05). Removing its raid buff makes its aDPS the same as its cDPS (making it like any other selfish DPS). 29.5k cDPS puts it just below the melee jobs. Then shave off a little bit of motif potency and you're roughly the same as Black Mage in 7.05 (28.5k cDPS). With the BLM buffs in 7.1, BLM would be only very slightly ahead, which would be an acceptable tradeoff for PCT party mit. Could maybe increase the filler potency a little to compensate.

Alternatively, if you'd prefer your caster jobs to be competitive with melees, you could nerf Starry Muse from 5% to say, 3%. Then we'd just need to buff BLM by a good 8-10%. And of course we'd want to buff RDM and SMN a lot as well, they'd probably need a good 10% buff too.
