Please do something about dps survavibility in OC

[YumieYumiki]

The issue is that OC just doesn't offer any real healing or survival options for DPS.

Chemist have an instant full heal on a 3 seconds CD, so you can solo any fate as dps, provided that you do the mechanics correctly (even though the heal can let you live through some mistakes)

Plus you can instant res people also on a 3s cd.

You need to buy occult potions for the heal but its a good way to dump all those silver pieces anyway (I dont bother with the OC specific gear, I dont need more inventory clutter)

Even for CEs, if you cant get a group or have no healer, you can still pretty effecively participate solo as chemist.

You still have plenty of opportunities to level other phantom jobs when fates are getting zerged or when playing CEs in a party with healer(s)

But why would you play a DPS and use chemist just to survive when you can play a tank and use a job who has offensive phantom actions and do 8* as much damage given how strong phantom actions actually are

You shouldn’t be forced to rely on a boring job like chemist just to survive

This post completely misses the point of issue. Worded like square enix worker.


Just a bonus addition: i WILL outdps dps player on pld + phantom sam, while dps playing trash like chemist. Good game design, just play better indeed.
