Originality Fail? (Some Suggestions, some ranting, mostly curious)

I agree with you bubba on a lot of points.

IMHO, SMN in ff14 ARR is the absolute worst iteration of summoner in the entire FF franchise. The egi feel feeble and underwhelming. There is little sense of variety with the existing egi and because of the simplification of elemental damage in this game, there will always be an egi that is a standard dps choice over all other egi.

The healing classes and BRD feel naked in contrast to many other FF titles. There is hardly any depth to any of the abilities and all the normal utility buffs for an FF game seem to be half missing.

BLM, which is supposed to be a specialized glass cannon is out dpsed by MNK on target dummies given each player has full i90 bis and allagan weapons. I think it is fine that blm does less dmg than other jobs, but a blm should be given more utility similar to SMN, BRD, and DRG.

Really, all the jobs an end game could use some retooling.

U do realise my bard could cry rivers to be anywhere near as good as blm at multi-target? I think best burst dps and very good single target is enough for BLM o-o

I would trade best burst dps for swift cast raise or melee dmg increased debuff in a heart beat. Burst damage in end game is hardly needed at the moment. T4 is the only end game fight where a BLM's AoE makes the fight much faster. BRD might not have the best dps, but at least they bring way more utility to the table than any other dps class.

I am just saying, would it hurt to give BLM a debuff spell that increases melee dmg or an interrupt? BLM does not even have swift cast raise. The only thing blm brings to the utility table is apocatastasis, which is less than desirable. Either give BLM utility like the rest of the DPS classes have, make way more end game boss fights that require intensive AoE, or make them the glass cannon they are supposed to be.

Expect a support/dps mage type in the future. Red mage, no doubt.

You've moved through a lot of mmo's and I have a feeling you either have to pick one and learn to stick with it, or maybe learn that each mmo is meant to be a short lived experience for yourself. I had a friend just like you that would last 6 or so months in a game then want to leave cause she found a "better" game. I really don't see them making drastic changes to any of the classes in the near future...


Edit: I agree with the scholar remark. A floating quill would've been better than a fairy to me lol.
