Caster Classes All Nerfed...

[Orihara_Izaya]

What is going on SE I know the melee classes needed a bit of love here, but you are destroying the caster classes DPS.

SMN just lost a major DPS skill Thunder and what did we a get a lame AoE skill that does reduced damage with a high MP cost and no MP regen. Why would we use it?

WHM: I was rolling a WHM just for holy and now it's nerfed, not to mention Medica II got nerfed (or not depending on your perspective)

BLM: Also nerfed Scathe just got killed way to go SE, also they have no reason to use Bliz 2 cause it was nerfed.

Aranists: Virus which was a nice skill to chain is now broken.

The only class having fun right now is Scholar and I don't even like that class... I don't even want to play my SMN anymore you did nothing to fix it. You said Archer was incomming for nerfs but destroyed all magic classes....

Just Why...

U heard the saying, wagging the dog?

It is a really weak move imo in attempt to 'balancing'

Don't forget the part about the pets that could potentially destroy SMN for good. Where Obey does the same as Steady.

Oh and our shoes...yay. Thanks SE.

Haha, "destroy SMN for good." Do you actually play SMN? Do you know how Obey and Steady work, or what they're used for? This statement demonstrates that you are getting up in arms over absolutely nothing, or that you are not actually reading the patch notes properly before you take to the forums to complain.

The change is a GOOD thing, not a nerf. Obey is a command, Steady is a stance. All they did is make it so that placing the pet into Steady and using the Obey command (which Scholars do all the time to let them micromanage the fairy's buffs), and then issuing another command of any kind, won't automatically put it back to Guard mode where the AI starts using certain abilities again. Thus allowing people who micromanage their pets to do so more effectively without having to fight the AI every time.

Holy is only good for 5 levels anyway.

You get Golds if you group up to FATE and even with Holy spam you won't get Gold solo no matter what. They nerfed it for a nitpick and even though the only DoM/ DoW I have is 50 Whm, I really don't care. I can solo spirit bond with earth II quicker. Gathering beast mats also works better using Earth II because spawns aren't there for Holy spam.

lol you obviously don't know how to solo fates. As soon as I got Holy, I was getting gold soloing fates every time. Working harder does not equate to working smarter....


And yes, I despise these changes. What were they thinking.... if they were thinking.

I'm just going to assume you've never done a speed run before...

I'm assuming you don't know the developers hate speed run. What's with the attempt to stop speedrunning AK and forcing people to kill Tonberry for oil to flip the switch in WP and all. Yes, they failed, hence the coming nerf.
