part of my thoughts when it comes down to nerfing picto damage around downtime more or less comes from bringing down the damage from motif related actions and either binning or reallocating them to either subtractive palette or to base GCD's. say about 100-200 potency from about each creature muse (basically from 1100 potency down to either 900 or 1000) and also bringing down mog and madeen by 100 (down to 1200 for mog, 1300 for madeen). main gcd's could be increased by about 20-30 potency each to try to make up for lost damage if needed. while i think it should be on the higher end for casters and fairly close to black mage. there really is little justification to not nerf the class as of current given that buffing other classes twice in a row to make up for it has really done little to tone it down in fights where downtime is prevalent.
