    Concerns about the boosts to drg and mnk

    I'm not so sure these classes/jobs need a 10% damage boost. The drg and mnk's can already top charts and already hanging with blms. I RARLEY see a mink fighting from the back and switching to the side and so on...the ones that play the job correctly are already doing the intended damage. This boost is going to put them ahead of the pack.

    Drg- already can do insane damage if played correctly. Why should these jobs get buffed because most people can't figure out how to maximize their potential?

    There is one simple reason not to boost DRG dmg.

    The sheer amount of DRG drops in coil. They're better geared than anyone!

    Umm...no...

    BLM blow DRG and MNK out of the water, DPS-wise. Its not even close at all.

    I'm guessing you're the BLM in question...are you undergeared compared to these melee, or just have an underwhelming rotation?

    OK, fine, I don't MNK. But I hear a lot of complaining about their DPS :/ Must be all bad MNK then

    BLMs will never get totally outshined on the DPS, as they are the staple heavy hitter. They will always be competitive, at worst. If they're not going to be able to keep up after the patch, it'll be fixed after... and probably in a way that puts BLM ahead of the pack. Rinse and repeat for MMORPG "balance".

    I don't know, I use my DoT moves then use my disembowel followed by the strike to the sides for that 10% dmg buff then I activate my Blood buff.

    Yeah, I don't need a buff when I carry majority of dps in random dungeons with Duty Finder. Please don't make us overpowered, I already play a Mage on WoW.\

    IN MY SHIT GEAR!

    each job brings different tools to the fight, BLM has AoE massive direct dmg, SMNs bring AoE DoTs, MNKs has sustained DPS on single target, DRGs has great burst dmg on single targets.

    people sometimes bring BLM/SMN for their AoE LB3, others bring MNKs/DRGs for their single target LB3. Each class fills a role, so I don't see how increasing MNKs or DRGs are gonna affect you.

    it's as if you guys only care about dmg on a single target and not look at the fight as a whole.
