dps balance

that double minuet was OP , no1 likes to play BRD on FFXI , is the most boring job ever ....sing 2 songs on melee , 2 songs on casters , cast your debuffs and keep everything up.....

You could say the same about any job in FFXI. I enjoyed playing bard, I was the busiest member of the party most of the time when leveling it up, and in merit parties. In end game fights it was boring, but so were most jobs in most fights. Everyone can't be a blm pulling hate and running like hell from Kirin.

As whm, I don't really care who does what dps. I really do care about who can get out of the red circle, who can kill the right target, and who can click on the correct thingy.


Honestly, I believe balance is BAD for games. I wish SE would unbalance the game, perhaps much more. WoW was the most balanced MMO I ever played at it's time - but also became rediculously homogonized. Balance should mean that all classes are equivalent, but instead, balance has come to mean all the classes are the same. If that's the goal there should be 3 or 4 classes tank, healer, melee, caster (or combine melee and caster into just dps).

Instead, I would prefer each class be OP in some way, so that every class is very valuable for that special thing or combination of things they do.
