Why are they buffing Black Mage

[Pooky_Pasha]

bad numbers

Where do you come up with this stuff anyway? lol

Buffing the Black Mage will only cause scrub Black Mages

And here is where you lost your credibility.

[Mimilu]

Akiza had credibility?! >o>

That is literally the definition of taking out of context. The sentence he actually said is accurate to a degree.

The fact of the matter is equally geared black mages are preforming 10-20% lower than other dps classes in single target. With how much single target burn phases there are in second coil, it just isn't worth taking them over a skilled summoner or bard for the ranged slot.

And always will

Yep and probably they are looking at a bigger picture than just 2.2 and 2nd coil.

Why are Black Mages getting buffed when good Black Mages in T6 and T7 already put out 250dps which is pretty solid for a caster. Buffing the Black Mage will only cause scrub Black Mages to be on par with good ones while the Black Mages that are good will put out 320dps easily.

This would be like buffing the Summoner just because quit a few of them only can hit 168dps in turn 6 while good Summoner puts out 260dps that would just make good Summoner's beyond op and sub par Summoner's on par with good ones.

ROFL OP. I can put out 260 DPS too... on my Scholar.

hmm I thought parsers were illegal in the game and could get your account banned?

*sigh* Can't make a joke without some crybaby whining about parsers being bad.

they aren't just buffing Black Mages you know, if you paid attention they plan to adjust all the other jobs so all will be fair. but ofcourse we know someone will be butthurt nomatter what job or jobs get buffs

[Luciano_Bozzelli]

Yeah people like the OP assume that Yoshi P in company just listens to complaints and just up and changes things... I'm pretty sure they went into the lab tested black mage themselves on T6-9 and came up with their own decision that the job needs to be buffed...

They aren't just doing it because Jimmy and Sarah said so in the general discussion. LOL

they are against the ToS and therefore illegal in the game, pretty sure though they have no real way to know unless you mention them or the parser injects something into the logs.
personally I still think parsers where you can see everyone else's DPS are a bad idea. they cause bad blood so I can see why SE doesn't want them.
