I'm not a min/maxing ultimate, savage raiding player...I don't have the time. However, I like to do my extreme trials and I like to play my solo and "mid tier" content (which there's always a lack of) and since the patch I feel useless. I go through my pictomancer rotation and I'm in my craft 740 gear and I'm lagging behind others in our required daily expert roulettes. It feels pointless to paint my motifs, I just should hit 11111 for my RGB, and then subtractive, and throw holy in white. Everything else including our very feel good button that is hammer stamp feels awful. Pictomancy is the one thing that has brought me a lot of joy since it was introduced last year. Summoner hasn't felt right to me in 14 years of playing this game, and they created something great that fit my persona perfectly in PCT -- and now they're taking it away. After making a huge fuss about "we're not going to take it away". Find a way to nerf us that doesn't feel awful. Currently it feels awful to bother painting and I'm just WHM casting dia. No need for the rest. And frankly, it's crap. I'm very frustrated.

We don't have a rez, and per Yoshi-P we are the other greedy caster next to BLM, so our damage should be higher. VPR walks into parties and tears it up in 2 seconds and I'm just painting my gimped paintings now. Feels terrible. Feels like not logging in.
