This issue, tho, is more of a caster issue as a whole imo...for YEARs I said caster is the worst balance role in the game bc of one thing and that is the rez...SMN and RDM will always be preferred over BLM and PCT for the caster spot in the team bc that rez means a lot to this community, its "try again/keep the run going" button, even if reclear, since you're not always going to have everyone playing 100% all the time. The battle rez has become a crutch to fix mistakes. Either way, since the caster spot will always be filled by a rez caster, BLM and PCT as to compete for the flex role, a role that is highly sought for in a team since melee also can fill this spot. Meaning right now if you look at PCT numbers, it left on the side lines, it doesnt have a rez and do to simlar dps as a RDM and doesn't do enough DPS to compete with a 2nd melee or BLM for the Flex spot. I dont see how just "shifting" potency will fix this issue. Personitly what I would do is like you said, shift the numbers around so at least hammer and the creature are gains and feel better to play but I take one step forward and finally do something with the elefent in the caster room for years now and that its battle rez...its time to nerf this button I think or competely remove it. That's just my opinion tho and I know it's a semi-hot take, but that's just how I feel about all this...

Btw I have already been asked a few times this patch to switch to RDM or SMN when playing PCT btw, when I was applying for statics, and that's why I hate where PCT is now...
