DPS Output, Seeing where I stand.

[Exstal]

I don't know if that's true. FFXI dictates SE isn't too keen on catering to casuals (SMN being trash for years). Catering to hardcore doesn't gain enough money. Only need to mildly keep them interested while making sure to get new players.

- Buff Mages: Probably unlikely due to Musketeer coming into the mix. True Bards will stay and those who only care for Ranged damage will go to Musketeer (probably intended). Mage dps being the highest currently anyway
- Buff WHM: Completely unnecessary. Some reworking of skills like Cure III but overall can't imbalance between this and SCH
- Nerf SCH: Due to the structure of ACN the cleric stance dancing works a little better in the SCH favour but how would you nerf this aspect?

I gave reasons why Bard warranted a nerf.
You didn't need to make Dragoon to see jumps are bad. Watch them use them on anything then watch them get hit by mechanics due to animation lock.
Just like you don't need a Monk to realise when bosses jump off screen for longer than 8 seconds, you're going to lose Greased Lightning stacks.

Some things you either notice or are told by people who live and breathe the class.
